The Royals[*1] may be miserable on the field, but by golly, they’re finally making money.[*2] Don’t you feel better now about that $6.25 beer?
Now that I’ve got the knee-jerk cynicism out of the way, this is actually very good news. Maybe the Royals can figure out a way to keep their stable of young players and grow the team’s income and the players’ salaries together. Everybody knows that pro baseball is seriously broken from a financial as well as a competitive point of view. The two are directly related to each other.
