This is baseball’s All-Star week, which means all sorts of think pieces about the sport’s problems. This will not be a think piece — but only because it won’t be long enough.
Maybe this is a think crumb?
Anyway, I’ve been thinking a lot lately about baseball as a business, and the Royals’ place in it. Some of this is a result of doing the two-part State of the Royals — Part 2 is scheduled to arrive Thursday at fine internet connections everywhere — and some of it is the franchise’s pending rebuild and new TV contract.
