The beat goes on for MLB

Giancarlo Stanton will soon be a Yankee.

We’ll that’s a shocker. I thought for sure when the Marlins signed Stanton to that record contract that he would have lead the Marlins to a dozen playoff births, consistent World Series appearance, and given the city of Miami several championship parades.

Darn the luck!
As always, the rich get richer in MLB.

That’s how that sad, pathetic, worthless league works.
The NFL sure has its share of problems but at least all teams have the same means in which to compete.
Here are the top ten highest paid players in the NFL for this season:
1. Derek Carr – Oakland Raiders
2. Andrew Luck – Indianapolis Colts
3. Carson Palmer – Arizona Cardinals
4. Drew Brees – New Orleans Saints
5. Kirk Cousins – Washington Redskins
6. Joe Flacco – Baltimore Ravens
7. Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers
8. Russell Wilson – Seattle Seahawks
9. Ben Roethlisberger – Pittsburgh Steelers
10. Eli Manning – New York Giants

Now, let’s take a look at the highest paid players in MLB:
1. Clayton Kershaw – LA Dodgers
2. David Price – Boston Red Sox
3. Miguel Cabrera – Detroit Tigers
4. Justin Verlander – Detroit Tigers
5. Felix Hernandez – Seattle Mariners
6. Albert Pujols - LA Angels
7. C. C. Sabathia – NY Yankees
8. Robinson Cano – Seattle Mariners
9. Zack Grienke – Arizona Diamondbacks
10. Joe Mauer – Minnesota Twins

Notice how the largest paid NFL player is from the 45th largest city in the US compared to MLB which is #2. The only true large market team with a player in the NFL list is the Giants at #10. Meanwhile, the only small market on the MLB list is the Twins at #10.

The saddest thing about MLB is that it will never change.

The NFL will continue to show parity among the talent and MLB will continue to be a joke.
