1 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:08,400 Speaker 1: Mary Brown joining us right now, senior contributor to Forbes. Moury, 2 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: great to have you and hope you're enjoying the World Series. 3 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: Your thoughts so far? 4 00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: You know, I think it was a lot more competitive 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: than I anticipated. I thought the Dodgers were going to 6 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 2: go in and run ramsh I mostly due to pitching. 7 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,560 Speaker 2: But you know, I think that it's been largely exciting. 8 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 2: I mean, we've got a dog on series, guys. I 9 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 2: think the thing that's most amazing is that we're going 10 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 2: to have a World Series begin and end in Canada, 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,599 Speaker 2: and we've never seen that before. So yeah, I think 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: it's good. I think that it's great for the game. 13 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 3: Maury. 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: We enjoyed your article and tweet about the business of 15 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: baseball and the World Series. But let's start with what 16 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: you put out there last night. Can you explain to 17 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: everyone how MLB sponsorship works and how much it's up 18 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: the year and why. 19 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 2: Yeah, so the story centers on team sponsorship, right, which 20 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 2: this is a little bit different than the league sponsorship. 21 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 2: So if you think about this, the number I'm going 22 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 2: to give you add more to it. So just for 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: the clubs, for the thirty clubs, it exceeded two billion 24 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 2: dollars this year, which is a substantial amount, right, I 25 00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: mean it's climbed over sixty percent since twenty twenty two. 26 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 2: So you ask yourself, how in the world does this happen. Well, 27 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,119 Speaker 2: there's a lot of business sectors that get involve financial 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 2: as you see in the graphic right there, leads the way. 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: And when talking to the folks that put this report together, 30 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: a sponsor united about this, I asked, why is this? 31 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 2: Why is baseball doing so well? Baseball is the only 32 00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: sport other than the NFL that has exceeded this two 33 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: billion dollar threshold. So why Well, it's largely been conservative. 34 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 2: I mean, it's you know, it's a fan sport. You know, 35 00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 2: it's really family oriented, it's in the summer. I think 36 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,639 Speaker 2: the changes to the game have absolutely made more engagement 37 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,239 Speaker 2: and that's involved a lot more sponsors. But look, guys, 38 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 2: the big driver, the biggest driver and all this is 39 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 2: the Dodgers. They have twenty Japanese sponsors this year, and 40 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: that's obviously due to show Ao Tani, but also Yamamoto 41 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 2: and Sake, So you add that together. The Dodgers have 42 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 2: been the outlier that have made this extreme growth that 43 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: we've seen over time. But I mean it's a cash cow. 44 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: It's it's something that I think is largely underreported. We 45 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: look a lot at television, which of course is still 46 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,840 Speaker 2: super important, but the way that baseball has continued to 47 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: grow major League Baseball to I would assume we're going 48 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: to get to thirteen billion dollars in gross revenues next year. 49 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 2: I mean, you know, when people say baseball is dying, 50 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: I don't think they really understand what that means. 51 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,919 Speaker 4: Well, listen, but Showhey was bad for the game when 52 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 4: he signed with the Dodgers, and Yamamoto signing was bad, 53 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 4: and Sazaki signing was bad, and we need a salary 54 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 4: cap and we need Dodgers are bad for baseball. 55 00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 5: Everything you're telling me. 56 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,799 Speaker 4: First of all, they clearly there's teams that have money. 57 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 4: Second of all, the Dodgers have been great for not 58 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,519 Speaker 4: only the Dodgers but for every other team. If they're 59 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 4: bringing in all this money, you know, and then they 60 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,040 Speaker 4: have to give it to the Pirates, and they have 61 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: to give it to the Rays, and they have to 62 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: give it to the Marlins. So I don't know why 63 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 4: people say baseball is dying. Viewerships up revenues are up, 64 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,760 Speaker 4: sponsorships are up. I just don't I agree with you, Moore. 65 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 4: I don't understand why people keep saying this other than 66 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 4: to sell a narrative that's false. 67 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, the idea that there could 68 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: be more economic parody, Okay, I mean it's not gonna 69 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 2: come with the salary cap, guys. I think that what 70 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 2: you're gonna see is an attempt to have that happen. 71 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 2: But again, I think that what you're going to continue 72 00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 2: to see is tightening up of the system that we 73 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: have now. I think that'll just continue to be happening. 74 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: I think one thing that does come into play here 75 00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 2: if we don't have deferred compensation, and that really leans 76 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 2: heavily into clubs like the Dodgers and the Mets, where 77 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: they know that their revenues are going to be really 78 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,720 Speaker 2: strong over a long period of time, so that they 79 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 2: don't run into a position to where you know, they're overleveraged. 80 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 2: That played a large part into the Dodgers being able 81 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,919 Speaker 2: to go out and get additional talent by deferring that 82 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 2: salary for Shoeotani. So you know, it's good for the 83 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: game in the sense that right now we have star 84 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: power in the World Series, and that's great. I'm sure 85 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: that there are a lot of clubs out there that 86 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 2: want to have this. But guys, I mean, I don't 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 2: know how to tell fans. There's no way that a 88 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: salary cap fixes the Pirates or the A's or the Rays. 89 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 2: It will maybe help the middle class maybe a little 90 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: bit more. It might, but even then I don't think so. 91 00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: I think you would continue to see the usual suspects, 92 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 2: the Phillies, Dodgers, Cubs, obviously you know, the Yankees, Red Sox, 93 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 2: and you're gonna see those clubs year in and year out. 94 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,279 Speaker 2: But again, if I go back to that sponsorship money 95 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: that we're talking about, while the Dodgers are far and 96 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 2: away more they have enough to basically find another club, right, 97 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 2: That's how far and away they have more sponsorship money. 98 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 2: Right behind them are the likes of the Yankees and 99 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 2: the Red Sox, the clubs that you would expect to 100 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 2: see a large amount of sponsorship dollars right large markets, 101 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: big brands, historic brands. And that's why you continue to 102 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 2: see that Mary, how did the Angels completely screw this up? 103 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 6: Like it'd be one thing if show he was like Okay, 104 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 6: he was in Milwaukee or Arley in Texas or Houston, 105 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 6: and then he went to the Dodgers like, oh man, 106 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 6: well you know the big market LA. He was up 107 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:57,719 Speaker 6: in Los Angeles, Savannaheim. 108 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 5: I get it. 109 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 6: But how did the you'll screw this up? And how 110 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 6: if you were to guess, how much money do you 111 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 6: feel like they left on the table the fact that 112 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 6: essentially a Dodgers are bringing in enough money right now 113 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 6: to cover his salary plus some based on the fact 114 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 6: that they had showhey for the last seven or for 115 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 6: seven years. 116 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I can speculate. I don't. I don't 117 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: think this has to do terribly much with you know, 118 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: the competency of the people around the sponsorship side. I mean, 119 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 2: the Dodgers have always tied in tightly in the Pacific 120 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 2: rim just as a general rule, and they just have 121 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 2: I think an incredible amount of gravity given the name 122 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,599 Speaker 2: Dodger Stadium. You know, I think Artie Moreno is a 123 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 2: very hands on owner. I think that that has not 124 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: necessarily played out well for the club, whether it's them 125 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: trying to get a new ballpark or whether obviously the 126 00:06:56,480 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 2: situation that we have going now with care and the 127 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 2: situation with Skags and that whole scandal that's going on 128 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 2: around a drug overdose, and I don't know, I mean, 129 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 2: I would say that if you're gonna say screw it up. 130 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 2: I think that it's largely around the flexibility that the 131 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: Dodgers created with this deal, and they just have this 132 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 2: incredible amount I think of I'll say it again gravity, 133 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 2: They just they just have turned into the Yankees. And 134 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 2: for those obviously old enough to remember, I mean, it 135 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 2: was like the Yankees just seem to have owned the universe, right, 136 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 2: I mean, the Red Sox were right there. I think 137 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: the Dodgers are that team now, and they're smart. I 138 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 2: just you know, Stan Kas and everybody at the top 139 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 2: is not dumb. Everybody thought that when Mark Walter and 140 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: Gougenheim Partners went out and purchased the Dodgers for what 141 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: they did, that they over they spent too much. Well, 142 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: I mean, come on, guys, and they're making so much 143 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 2: money right now they're gonna make you know, I don't know, 144 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 2: they'll make probably over the next couple two or three years. 145 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 2: I think that they could approach five hundred million dollars 146 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 2: in sponsorship money. I mean that idea that the the 147 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: Otani contract was somehow bad, just did not look at 148 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 2: how the business side of sports works and how the 149 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 2: Dodgers have parlayed that into you know, obviously even more money. 150 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 2: Let's think about this when we talk about a salary cap. 151 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 2: If the Dodgers are making this much money now in 152 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 2: an uncapped system, how much money are they going to 153 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 2: be making in a cap system? And I think a 154 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 2: cap system really just really lends itself to the owners 155 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 2: right to make more money. Otherwise they wouldn't push so 156 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 2: hard for it. 157 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: This episode of FT is brought to you Byule Cheers. 158 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: We got a new Hewel addition here the daily Greens. 159 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 1: I've got blueberry, lemon and time you've got. 160 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 7: I got myself peach and a biscus.

On a cap system, 180 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,079 Speaker 1: they would be profiting like crazy, and then what would happen, Maury? 181 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: If you're Japanese player, you would say, Okay, money's going 182 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: to be about the same because now my salary is suppressed. 183 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 1: I'm definitely signing with Dodgers every time because my marketing 184 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,960 Speaker 1: money is going to be one hundred x if I 185 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: sign with them. 186 00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:12,240 Speaker 3: And that's my question. 187 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: Even under the current system, for fans that don't care 188 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: how much money the teams, the league, even the players 189 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: are making, they might want to know, how do we 190 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 1: prevent the Dodgers from signing the top talent really in Asia, 191 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 1: but definitely in Japan. Right, So, for example, this past offseason, 192 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: they bring over Kim and then of course they get 193 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 1: Roki Sasaki. Any team could have afforded him. Based on 194 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: what you're saying right now, is there any pathway for 195 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:41,960 Speaker 1: fans of other teams to try and recruit Japanese players? 196 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,560 Speaker 1: If someone like Roki Sazaki can sign with any team 197 00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 1: for the same amount of money, Like fans want to know, 198 00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: how do we stop that as Roki is now the 199 00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,520 Speaker 1: closer for LA during this run. 200 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think you can. And the reason I 201 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 2: say that is it's not like other sports don't have 202 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 2: this problem. You know, you just cannot create a holy 203 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: socialist system where everybody's going to be on an even 204 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: playing field. I mean, Otani pulls in about I want 205 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: to say, pulled in one hundred and twenty five million 206 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: dollars in individual endorsement money. A lot of that is, 207 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 2: of course, his star power, but the fact that he's 208 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: in Los Angeles and guys, we've seen this across all sports, right, 209 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe the NFL to a lesser extent where 210 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 2: a skill player can really move the needle quickly, but 211 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: you're always going to see players go to larger markets. 212 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it makes for easier sponsorship deals. 213 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:47,040 Speaker 2: Now that said, cal Ralely has the most sponsorship deals 214 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 2: out of any player right now in Major League Baseball. 215 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 2: I believe he's at seventeen now. His money's not approaching 216 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 2: what Shoi Otani is. But I mean the opportunities are 217 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 2: there and so on an individual level, as you'd say 218 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 2: him in Seattle, which you know isn't a tiny market, 219 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,439 Speaker 2: but it isn't large mindy, you know, stretching the imagination. 220 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 2: I think that there are opportunities there globally to do that, 221 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 2: but there will always be I think those larger markets, 222 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,640 Speaker 2: the New York's. I think New York in some senses 223 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:23,680 Speaker 2: actually hinders itself due to the media pressure. Right. You 224 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 2: just don't get that on the West Coast. It's just 225 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 2: a lot mellower as somebody that lives out here. You 226 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 2: just don't see people living and dying that much by it. 227 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,040 Speaker 2: And there's not that much scrutiny. I mean, it's their scrutiny, 228 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 2: but not on the level that you would see if 229 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 2: you were at the Yankees. And I think that that 230 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 2: actually lends itself to some players wanting to go to 231 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 2: the likes of the Dodgers, right so again, I just 232 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,679 Speaker 2: don't know how you can say, hey, if we put 233 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 2: a salary cap system in, suddenly Pittsburgh is that much 234 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 2: more attractive. I think that the problem for the Pittsburghs 235 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 2: and any well soon to be Las Vegas or Tampa 236 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 2: Bay is that they're pocketing revenue sharing money instead of 237 00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 2: trying to be more competitive. And you can be more competitive. 238 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 2: Clubs absolutely have windows. Now as we saw the Brewers, 239 00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 2: the Guardians right, which were in the bottom, you know, 240 00:13:15,280 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: third and some of them, right, I think the Guardians, 241 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: I think we're twenty five by payroll rank. I mean, 242 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,559 Speaker 2: you can get in, and you know, if we expand 243 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 2: the playoffs even further, you know, certainly with expansion there's 244 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: talk about adding another couple of teams. I know that 245 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,320 Speaker 2: the owners try to get that the last round of 246 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 2: collective bargaining. Okay, now you can get your foot in 247 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 2: the door, and then then it becomes a question of 248 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,320 Speaker 2: well is their hope then, and for me, that should 249 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: be a good sign. Get yourself in. That increases season 250 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 2: ticket sales the next year, you know, and in a 251 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 2: wild card series, guys, you know this, there's so much 252 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 2: chaos if you line up right with your front end starter. 253 00:13:57,080 --> 00:14:00,120 Speaker 2: Anything can happen. I mean, you can see big club 254 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:04,440 Speaker 2: get knockoff just as easily as low small markets. 255 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:07,680 Speaker 4: Mariy, you kind of hit on this a little bit 256 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 4: with cal Rawley. But who are the players other than 257 00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,880 Speaker 4: show Hey that are getting some deals off the field. 258 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 5: I know cal Rawley is a big one. 259 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: You see starting to see schemes a little bit out 260 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 4: there with the Tea mobile and he does the raising canes. 261 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 4: It plays like I swear every commercial break it's Paul 262 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 4: Skeins eating a chicken finger, right. I know there's an 263 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 4: LSU connection there with him. Julio Rodriguez is the Team 264 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 4: Mobile and Adidas guy. But who are some of the 265 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,520 Speaker 4: other guys out there that are really making big strides 266 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 4: off the field besides Shohey. Obviously show Hay is on 267 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 4: a different level. But who are the other guys that 268 00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 4: really are doing things that are special. 269 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 2: Well, certainly Aaron Judge, I'm sure is doing more than well. Right, 270 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 2: Francisco Lindor, you know you're gonna see guys that you 271 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 2: would expect again here we go, Right, most of these guys, 272 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: with the exception of the two Mariner players that you 273 00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 2: see listed here, by total volume of sponsorship deals. They're 274 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 2: in larger markets, right, and that would be something that 275 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,080 Speaker 2: you would probably expect. They're going to have a lot 276 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 2: more media spotlight. It's surprising to me the number there 277 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: that we look at justin Turner, right, and I know 278 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 2: it is always surprising and he is always there. But 279 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: again I think that the question becomes then, right, like 280 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 2: how how many deals you know, as opposed to the amounts, 281 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: and the amounts are always kind of hard to suss out. 282 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: I will say this, I think that the Players Association 283 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 2: has done a better job of trying to go ahead 284 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 2: and you know, have that happen certainly. I mean, guys, 285 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 2: you know this. The agencies are the ones that really 286 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 2: I think helped us a lot. And if you again 287 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 2: you go look at cal Raley, you know, I think 288 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 2: he's a bores client. So you start to get into 289 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,960 Speaker 2: stuff like that, that's stuff really largely plays out. And 290 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 2: again I think that ball is moving in a positive direction, right. 291 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 2: I mean, for all of the pain and suffering that 292 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:11,480 Speaker 2: Rob Manfred went through with the implementation of the pitch 293 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,960 Speaker 2: clock and the rule changes, once we've gotten past that, 294 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: it is a lot crisper and it is pulling in 295 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 2: I think more fringe fans that are then becoming you know, 296 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: your core hardcore fans. That's that's what you want. So 297 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:31,560 Speaker 2: attendance was pretty much flat. Television was up, you know again, 298 00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: Sponsorship money's up. Some of that, of course, is gonna 299 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: ebb and flow, depending upon competitiveness. It never hurts, obviously 300 00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: to have the Dodgers or the Yankees or the Cubs 301 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 2: Red Sox involved in it. But we're starting again to 302 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: see you know, Seattle. You know, I don't think they're 303 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 2: going to squander this opportunity this time. Guys. I think 304 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 2: they did when they made the wild card last time. 305 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 2: I think that they felt that maybe they weren't on 306 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 2: the development path, and fully there I would expect them 307 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 2: to try and really continue to move forward and stay 308 00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 2: in this window. So I think you're going to continue 309 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 2: to see the likes of you know, Julio, you know again, 310 00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,720 Speaker 2: cal Raley, if he continues to have that season that 311 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 2: he had again, which of course was extraordinary in and 312 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,679 Speaker 2: of itself, whether he's able to repeat it now, I 313 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: think he becomes more of a household name, so you know, 314 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 2: look for guys like that. 315 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 6: Cal Rally is actually with Excel Sports, not with boris. 316 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 6: Just to just to clarify, but yeah, where does baseball? 317 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 6: Where does baseball screw this up? Where compared to the 318 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 6: other sports because of how monstrous the NFL is, but 319 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 6: all the players have masks on, you know, the NBA, 320 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 6: there's just less players. Where does baseball? Where can baseball 321 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 6: grow compared to the other sports from a sponsorship standpoint 322 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:55,959 Speaker 6: for each individual player? 323 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the difficulty is baseball's Does you know 324 00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 2: if I if I and this actually happened, right, I 325 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,199 Speaker 2: take Lebron James and he's in Cleveland, I take him 326 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 2: to Miami and they win a championship. I have him 327 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: go back to Cleveland and they win a championship. You know, 328 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: that star player is able to be on the screen 329 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 2: for the duration of a game, right, and they just 330 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: have a lot more visibility. Of course, you know, if 331 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 2: you're on the offensive side in baseball, you're up what 332 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 2: every inning and a half, maybe every fourth day if 333 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 2: you're a a front end pitcher. So I think that's 334 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 2: been the problem that we haven't leaned into stars. And 335 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 2: of course you guys mentioned the Angels. I mean here 336 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,280 Speaker 2: they had Mike Trout, they had show a Toni and 337 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 2: they couldn't make the postseason. So you know, their ability 338 00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 2: to get stars elevated is has largely been I think 339 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 2: the issue, and that, of course, you know, centers around 340 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,199 Speaker 2: again the game's design. You just have to be built 341 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,680 Speaker 2: with the oster that's solid from front to back, one 342 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,199 Speaker 2: through nine. You just have to have that, whereas a 343 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 2: skill player in basketball or football can really move the needle. 344 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 2: I guess the only other thing, and I don't know 345 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,440 Speaker 2: how we do this, guys, We're starting to see more 346 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 2: and more of it. But you know, in basketball and football, 347 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 2: college is the theater system, and that gives a lot 348 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 2: of players additional visibility through television. Baseball doesn't have that 349 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 2: for the most part. Right, we have the College World 350 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 2: Series and that's pretty much it, you know, So the 351 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: ability to get star players' names as more household is 352 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,200 Speaker 2: really going to be largely about opportunity. So again, you know, 353 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 2: I think that it's great that we see, you know, 354 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,800 Speaker 2: somebody like Skiings and the Pirates, right, I mean, you're 355 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,119 Speaker 2: starting to see the ability of some of these smaller 356 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: markets where the clubs haven't performed well. Him being involved 357 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: with Team Mobile obviously, Francisco Lindor. You know, you get 358 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 2: guys like that. But again, I think that it really 359 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 2: is going to boil down to trying to be competitive 360 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,879 Speaker 2: and being able to be competitive for enough time to 361 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,480 Speaker 2: become household names for the clubs. It's a lot easier, guys. 362 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's brands. Baseball leads heavily into brands, 363 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 2: where the other sports I think leading into stars. We've had. 364 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,040 Speaker 2: We've been very fortunate the last couple of years, certainly 365 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,640 Speaker 2: last year with New York and LA where we had Judge, 366 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 2: and we had in certainly Stanton, and we've had shoey 367 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 2: Otani and the star power there. You know, you just 368 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 2: hope that that continues to happen. It's not going to 369 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,400 Speaker 2: always happen. That would be bad of course for parody 370 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 2: in general. But again, the ability to elevate stars on 371 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 2: television is going to drive those sponsorship deals for those players. 372 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,680 Speaker 4: Well, that's always been one of Baseball's week links, is 373 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,119 Speaker 4: trying to develop stars. Mike Trout for years, people complain, 374 00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 4: even Aaron Judge, as big as he is, he's out 375 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,359 Speaker 4: there a little bit, but he's not. We still have 376 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,920 Speaker 4: Ken Griffey Junior running one of the biggest ad campaigns 377 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 4: for a big company like Nike, and he's been retired 378 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,239 Speaker 4: for almost twenty years now, so that's always been kind 379 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: of one of baseball's big misses and it's a mystery 380 00:21:11,800 --> 00:21:14,399 Speaker 4: why they can't figure it out. And I hope they 381 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 4: do at some point, because I think baseball has a 382 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 4: great personality's great stars, and even show hey, I mean 383 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 4: as much as you want show, he is definitely bigger 384 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 4: in Japan as far. I mean, yes, he has his 385 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 4: things obviously in America, but in Japan. I want to 386 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,639 Speaker 4: talk about some melse somewhere before we let you go, 387 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 4: because I tweeted about this during the eighteenth inning game 388 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 4: and it was about the music, and I work for Fox, 389 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 4: so obviously I get to I kind of on the inside. 390 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 4: You talked about the music they use, and we always 391 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 4: when we're we don't know what's coming in our ears 392 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 4: when it goes to a break. So when I'm doing 393 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,280 Speaker 4: a game, it's always like, oh man, we went this song, 394 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 4: we went this song, and it's such an awesome thing 395 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 4: that in like, especially when I do games with Adam Ameen, 396 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 4: because we're kind of he's more of a music you know, junkie, 397 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 4: nerdy kind of person knows more songs than I do. 398 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 4: But every once in a while he'd be like, Oh, 399 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,480 Speaker 4: that's such a cool song from someone I never heard 400 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 4: of or something. Right, So this article you wrote, how 401 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 4: did it come about? And more importantly, like, how do 402 00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 4: they pick the song? Because honestly, I know they have 403 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:08,560 Speaker 4: to have license, but I don't really know. 404 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, I have always wondered about this. The jump music 405 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 2: that we when we go to commercial is always something 406 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 2: that I've wondered about, and so I did. I reached 407 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 2: out to Fox Sports. I was like, hey, you know, 408 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 2: can I talk to the guy that does this? So 409 00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,440 Speaker 2: they put me in touch with Joe Carpenter, who does 410 00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 2: the World Series this year. And so to your first point, Aja, 411 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 2: it is absolutely all that all of it is licensed, right, 412 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 2: So he has a menu of a few dozen song 413 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 2: clips and he does it largely on the fly. And 414 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: now the stuff where we're rolling with graphics like pregame, 415 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,360 Speaker 2: that stuff will be worked out in advance, and maybe 416 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 2: on occasion there might be some kind of you know, 417 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: promotion deal where that maybe a label's doing that they 418 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,439 Speaker 2: might try and work something, and but for the most 419 00:22:56,520 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 2: part it is completely art. You know, it is personal 420 00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 2: and it's largely driven by the moment. So Joe, the 421 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 2: guy that does the World series, he's a big jam 422 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 2: band guy. So this is what struck me. I'm like, 423 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 2: am I hearing Shakedown Street by the Grateful Dead? How 424 00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 2: does how does this play in? And you go, well, 425 00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 2: shakedown Street? You know something that's going on with the game, uh, 426 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: you know. And in the eighteen inning one, the one 427 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,640 Speaker 2: that I think that was the most hilarious was the 428 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,120 Speaker 2: Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow from and Yes, that's that's 429 00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 2: exactly the one I twitted about. 430 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 4: Yes, because they played Tomorrow and I was like, whoever's 431 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 4: picking the music for Fox is crushing it because they 432 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 4: had all these songs and then when they when it 433 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 4: got to midnight, they were like Tomorrow and I was like, 434 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 4: this is amazing. 435 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 5: I love this. 436 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, they had I think All Night Long by Lionel Richie. 437 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:52,200 Speaker 2: But he's you know, he said Jerry Joseph Widespread Panic, 438 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,880 Speaker 2: rival Sons, but there was Aerosmith and Ozzie he would 439 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 2: he is doing off an awful lot around obviously the 440 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 2: markets that are there. So we saw some LA artists, 441 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,159 Speaker 2: the big one that I remember and you just couldn't avoid. 442 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 2: It was when they were playing in Toronto and of 443 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 2: course the beginning of Tom Sawyer by Rush, it was 444 00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 2: just two perfect Rush Canada Getty Lee behind home plate. 445 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,479 Speaker 2: So as I did it because I'm a musician, you know, 446 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 2: that's kind of my side thing. And I've always wondered 447 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,439 Speaker 2: about that, right, like how does this happen? And so 448 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 2: now it's like these easter eggs with every single happening 449 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 2: when you're wondering when the team's coming up, what are 450 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 2: we going into. The one that was kind of brutal 451 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,479 Speaker 2: at the time, but Joe explained this to me was 452 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 2: in the Alcs and the Mariners are down to their 453 00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 2: last happening, right and they played a live by Pearl 454 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 2: jam and I'm like, how are they alive? Well, He's like, well, 455 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:55,679 Speaker 2: it means, you know, this is it. They can be 456 00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 2: alive if they do it here. So you know, there's 457 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,879 Speaker 2: all these little tie ins, you know, some of them. 458 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 2: I think he knows more personally than others. But yeah, 459 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 2: I think it's a lot of fun. I think that 460 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 2: it makes it more interesting now for fans to listen 461 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,919 Speaker 2: to this stuff and try and figure out how it 462 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 2: all ties in again. It just is one more thing 463 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 2: to engage fans with the game. 464 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,879 Speaker 1: Well morey, I love the kind of stories you put together.
