The Milwaukee Brewers are headed to the World Series, and their run has reopened one of the biggest debates surrounding the Pirates: if Milwaukee can consistently win as a small-market team, what excuse does Pittsburgh have left?
On today’s Bucco Brew, DiNardo and Jim dig into what Milwaukee’s success actually proves, why Pirates fans can still want major changes to MLB’s economic system, and whether a salary cap, spending floor and expanded revenue sharing would create a more level playing field. Plus, why changing the system wouldn’t automatically fix the Pirates, but could finally remove one of the organization’s biggest built-in excuses.
