The goal for each MLB team is to win the World Series, right?
The general manager of the Milwaukee brewery, Mark Attanasio, reflected on the question about his work as owner.
“My job is to win a world series or my work is to provide an entertainment and passion summer and a way for families to join?” Attanasio said, through USA Today on Tuesday.

“My goal, from the point of view of property is always to compete … I do not like to talk about us as a small market. We have certainly not played as a small market. Since 2005, we have the fourth most victories in the National League “
While the team has succeeded, the investment of the property has not been solid.
The brewers have a projected payroll of $ 117 million as of Wednesday, which occupies the 22nd position in MLB behind the Rockies of Colorado.
Attanasio said it would be easier for brewers to spend on the top of the league if the sources of income were more equal.
“We don’t have the financial capacity to bring superstar. We try to hold on to what we can.”
The brewers were proactive by signing the rookie Jackson Chourio with an eight -year contract and $ 82 million last spring. The agreement offers long -term security of Chourio if it does not work.

For the brewers, if Chourio becomes the star where they believe it will become, they have a top -level player under long -term control at a price they can pay.
Those are the types of offers that brewers must do to try to retain talent at a cheaper cost.
Attanasio pointed to the other leagues as an example of what they have done with their media contracts as a form of leveling spending throughout the league.
“You see what the NFL has done with its media contract. You see what the NBA has done. Everything is sitting right there. If we can do something like that, the cake is bigger for everyone, for the owners, for the players, For everyone, “said Attanasio.
“We just have to discover how to do it, whatever the labor system.”

Although the brewers do not invest more in the team, due to expert movements, they are in a position to compete in the National League Central, since no team is a clear favorite.
The general manager of the brewers, Matt Arnold, said that despite financial limitations, there are no excuses.
“We recognize the challenges in the industry around the sports economy, but we are not going to put excuses about any of that. We have to do things a little different here, and we accept it.”
