Of all the inane storylines perpetuated on Twitter and the like, this is has to be the most annoying. Feels like something a kid in elementary school would come up with.

The Ohtani show was not involved in last years Playoffs and we all know the Yankees can't beat the Astros in the Postseason so that was never gonna happen.

It doesn't happen all the time, but like the Chiefs going all the way last year, and the WS being the Yankees/Dodgers this year some things are just easy to sniff out.

1919 WS only 3 of the 8 games were fixed....and that was players, not the league. This is the league and money talking, it's much more subtle and you don't need to alter all the games just one (game 1 Royals/yankees) or 2 does the trick.

How much more of the world watches when T Swift's following or Ohtani's following are involved.

Well lets just look at that.

115 million watched the Chiefs Eagles Super Bowl the previous year.
Now enter Swiftymania
An additional 10 million viewers watched Chiefs 49ers Super Bowl.

If you are selling a product and you will get 10 million additional buyers of that product. You just made a shit ton of money.

From what I understand Kelce is from Cleveland and he was at the game with Swift because he was there to see the Guardians while he happened to be in New York during his bye week. Though it is possible MLB had the Chiefs bye week in mind when they scheduled the Yankees to play Cleveland in April.

Not sure what that has to do with the price of tea in China, but okaaaay.

I mean to say that Swift's attendance at the game wasn't because the Yankees are in the playoffs but because Cleveland is.

Who cares about her attending a Yankees game? I missed it. Was it a big deal or something?

She's not tied to baseball like she is to Kelce, the Chiefs, and football.

You are missing the point. Focus.

You brought up Swift twice in your explanation for why MLB would push the Yankees and Dodgers. But if MLB wants Swift at more games, then it seems like they'd push Cleveland, by that logic.

I think his point was that the NFL pushed the Chiefs because of Swift and her Swifties, not that she explained Yankees vs. Dodgers.
