Yes. They don’t care whether they win or lose. So they invest just enough to make it not look obvious.
If you ain’t last, you’re first.
Yes. As long as the owners make money, they don’t care if the team wins or loses.
Of course. They just use the team as an investment to turn a profit.
“Intentionally” isn’t the word I’d use but they certainly accept mediocrity.
Also not sure it’s fair to include the Rays here.
The owners use the team as a Triple A minor league team for the rest of the league. Why win for yourself or the fan base when the really money is in the training and trading of future potential great players.
