Being a baseball team owner isn't a free market experience. You have to be vetted by other owners, and you have to be invited in. Supply and demand isn't in play. The highest bidder isn't in play.
Also, every...EVERY...single team gets government grants, government subsidies, and government tax breaks. They get not just fan money whether they consume a paid product or not, but they also take it from those that don't even care about baseball.
Fan pressure to spend on ownership has a long history of working and not working.
Asking one side of capitalism to just shut up and eat their slop while being happy to have slop to eat is weird.
