Despite other teams signing lucrative deals while jettisoning players amidst losing seasons. Explain it, Wazu. Lay it out, in detail. Educate me. Inform me. Elevate me to your level.

FWIW (nothing) I agree with him and have been saying it since last year. The Royals have to keep fan interest so butts are watching the tv to get a better tv deal. It's foolish to say that viewership doesn't affect a tv deal. TV deals are all about ad revenue, and that's based on people tuning it.
