I read a fun article by Grant Brisbee earlier about the changing face of baseball economics:

This is a truism, and that sentence probably didn’t blow the minds of anyone reading this. It’s something we’ve internalized and accepted long ago. To be a baseball fan is to know that the best players are usually the cheapest players. If you want something like a scientific proof for this point, it would go something like this:
- Players are usually in their prime between the ages of 24 to 29.
