I get that if Boston and the Cubs had to obtain Betts' and Bryant's services on the open market, they would pay a lot more than what they were paying. However, yesterday they were talking like Boston's and the Cubs' bottom line was actually increased by the player's value. I don't think that's how it works. If it did work that way there would have to be a subset of fans that were only interacting with the team to see Betts or Bryant, I don't think that's true of many fans. I know there are people who will not interact with a team if they're out of contention, but I don't think losing Betts or Bryant by themselves, is enough to drop either team out of contention.

Mike you clearly hate Bernstein. Why are you even listening lol

I don’t even consider listening to their show. I did enjoy Parko and Spiegel discussing the trade in hour 1 yesterday.

Bernstein and crew always seem to forget that callers, texters, and twitter do not represent the majority of a fan base.

More annoying than how these three attempt to define and defend player value is how they continually misconstrue cubs fans “turning on players and siding with billionaires.”

He was blown away that most fans in Boston apparently support the trade.

That's right. Women are 46% of that.

Mac not in again today. Not sure what is up but here we go again?

This group of Score shows and hosts is the weakest in the stations history. Is there one show that a majority of posters here listen to regularly, and enjoy? Not one. Mac is the only host that most posters all like, but he is being utterly wasted saddled with Parkins.

Could not agree more, even when you scroll through the podcast list of all the shows there is maybe an hour a day that is somewhat interesting. If they would have launched the station with this current group it wouldn't have lasted six months. Could have Pappy and Uncle Terry do a show from home and it would be more entertaining than listening to anything else on the station.

For years, the Score did a terrible job of developing new talent. Drew Hayes came in, insisted that fill-in spots could only go to old newspapermen, and left, then the whole era of 25-year-olds trying to be Dan Bernstein was a total dead spot. Kevin Dziepak probably has the brightest future of anyone whose name isn't on the schedule, but we're talking AM radio here, so that's relative.
