Sporticast: What If All MLB Tickets Were Free?

During the latest episode of Sporticast, hosts Scott Soshnick and Eben Novy-Williams explored several major sports business storylines, beginning with the baseball postseason where the Milwaukee Brewers hold an initial advantage over the Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League Championship Series. The conversation highlighted Milwaukee pitcher Jacob Misiorowski, an exceptionally hard thrower who could capture the NL Cy Young Award yet faces a lengthy wait before reaching free agency or salary arbitration, fueling questions about compensation structures for young pitching stars.

The discussion also touched on attendance trends following empty seats observed during a Tampa Bay Rays playoff game against the Cleveland Guardians, prompting a debate over whether free admission would fill every ballpark to capacity. Finally, the program previewed the WNBA Finals matchup between the Atlanta Dream and Golden State Valkyries, noting a successful venue shift that moved Dream postseason games from their standard arena to State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
