I rescind my critique about spinning.

Now I must go watch the Nickelodeon game show channel for the rest of the night. Cheers

Not sure how that’s spinning the story.

Also, most will go off the USA Today payroll, which is around $63 M, as it doesn’t go as detailed with payments from other teams (such as the $11.5 M for Burnett).

Also I must point out that Bob Nutting is the 10th richest owner in MLB according to MSNCB
