The Reds aren't making $10M per season right now. The Dodgers are about to get 24-28 TIMES as much as that.

How are small market teams supposed to compete with things like this?
How does someone born to parents who worked at a gas station compete with the children of CEOs? Work harder, smarter, social progams (revenue sharing) fall into some luck, etc. It's a steep, steep hill to climb, but isn't impossible.
