The Oakland A s also struggle to draw customers despite featuring one of the best young teams in baseball. In order to stay alive, baseball needs its fans. In order to keep its fans, baseball must be competitive again. Only a handful of teams have a realistic shot of reaching the World Series. Too many teams have no shot of coming anywhere near the postseason.

Every team needs to compete both on and off the field. Baseball needs a salary cap. Baseball needs revenue sharing. Baseball needs all 30 teams to be competitive and have a shot at postseason play every year. Basically, baseball needs a miracle.
