Brooklyn State of Mind: Robins Finally Getting Away From Financial Shackles (2056.6)

[lordtoffee]

The Robins quiet offseason in 2055-2056 was caused by a financial bind, that meant that it was hard to make improvements, though the Robins did add guys via the waiver wire. The good news is that the Robins are going to be in better shape this offseason with some contracts coming off the books, and some team options that may or may not be executed.

The Robins ended up having a better year in terms of attendance for home games, as they averaged 25,000 spectators coming through the gates, and revenue per game was up 19 percent according to sources within the accountants. What that means is that the Robins will have a starting balance that is going to be closer to positive before a move is made, and with the budget due to be changed a bit due to something called "PPT rewards", the goal for the Robins is to have money to throw around to improve the team and get guys in who are popular to draw fans to the ballpark to improve the record, and then get the financial house in order where they can spend money to make money. What a concept. With the goal of increasing FI up, this offseason should be exciting for Robins fans.

When you play next to Wall Street, you tend to get more scrutiny over your balance sheet.

Signing older popular players cheap definitely helps keep attendance up. Just don't count on them to be good, lol.

Getting out of contracts is the first step. Getting out of debt is the next.
