The biggest baseball ripoff in history may be about to happen in Saint Petersburg. A billionaire team owner has the city and three city council members pushing for 2 billion dollars in public subsidies. It's the home stretch but citizens are protesting and may slow this down so we can come to our senses. https://www.nohomerun.com/
Pat, somehow i missed the ominous behavior of Diamond. Our new national pastime: consolidation and rent-seeking (: And how about you adding a “tip jar” to your reports so we can contribute to your work?

This is not exactly a new story. Marc Normadin wrote about it in his news letter last month but not as much detail here. He quoted an Athletic story which I have not read I assume it goes into the same detail as you have done. https://www.marcnormandin.com/2024/04/17/athletics-las-vegas-diamond-baseball-holdings-milb/ From a year ago. https://www.sportico.com/business/team-sales/2023/minor-league-baseball-teams-investor-revamp-1234719970/
