Cohen also gets to depreciate the players on the roster when he bought them. I do not know if that includes extensions. I don’t know if it includedes the differed monies owed

I definitely think you have pointed out a whole other aspect of "Cohen's madness"  People with this pedigree don't just burns 10s of millions or 100s of millions of dollars.  Now, part of what he is doing is no doubt a product of being a fan, but I have a very hard time believing this is not being done without consideration for the net monetary effect.  If it were being done in a market without the upside you pointed out, I might believe it was mostly about being a fan.  Not the case here.

I'm not for anyone to monopolize anything just because they can. Things have gotten way out of line for too long. If Baseball can't fix it, then the government needs to.

Ouch!  Please don't bring the gov't in; the market place can correct things far better than pandering politicians can.  And the majority of them are from NY and CA, so it just changes who from those states are gumming up the game.  ?
