Abstract

Cal Ripken Jr., former player and current part-owner of the Baltimore Orioles, believes that small-market baseball teams can still compete with wealthier rivals, even with rising player salaries. Ripken emphasized the importance of making smart baseball decisions when you are a smaller team. As an owner, Ripken has gained a new perspective on negotiating player salaries and believes that there are other intangible values that can be offered to players besides just money. Despite having a lower payroll, the Orioles have been successful in recent seasons. [Extracted from the article]
