If you want to build a team with a baseball ownership group that has real estate aspirations, you have to travel along the route that doesn&#8217;t require pilfering from another Hershel Walker candidacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a baseball chart from Reddit that shows team revenue v. spending from 2023-2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"948\" src=\"https:\/\/ziboom.com\/jdrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-1024x948.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ziboom.com\/jdrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-1024x948.png 1024w, https:\/\/ziboom.com\/jdrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-300x278.png 300w, https:\/\/ziboom.com\/jdrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-768x711.png 768w, https:\/\/ziboom.com\/jdrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image-850x787.png 850w, https:\/\/ziboom.com\/jdrev.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/image.png 1164w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Math and statistics are not in my wheelhouse.
