With US dollars. Teams are in low/mid/high markets and this determines cash on hand, the more you fill the stadiums and sell merchandise the higher you climb in market value. The rich get richer just like in real life. It's all simple really.

They get payed every week, the bigger ur contract is the more u get payed a week. I think a 300 mil contract u get payed 10k a week idk maybe more, But in the off seasons u don’t get payed AT ALL j learned this from “Matt Antonelli” on KZbin he is a ex player that came up with the padres

"We play boatloads of money to baseball players to essentially play a kid's game. And, in exchange, we get the power to uproot them, and their families, so they can play a kid's game, for boatloads of money, somewhere else. And, after a few years, thanks to collective bargaining, they can become free agents. And then they can decide to uproot their families, for boatloads of money, themselves. That's how it works." - Padres GM in the FOX television series "Pitch"

[@Metawrecker]

So if you’re a fan of the Yankees or the Dodgers and have money and prospects to throw away because they mean nothing to you thanks in part to exorbitant local TV deals. None of it matters because you’re a gimmick and not a sport. Have an issue? Throw money at it problem solved, we want another great pitcher spend 40 million on Trevor Bauer (not sure about his future) & need to replace him sure bringing another guy who makes close to that per year no big deal we can afford it. Just trade for him. Have a spine and fight back against the players union you can manage it. I believe in you. Until then watch wrestling is more realistic.
