BFF Justin Verlander signs 2 year $86m deal with Mets


A starting pitcher plays, what, about 25-30 games a year?

He'll average over 1.5 million per game.

Good for him, but I cannot fathom how there's enough people watching MLB to continuously justify these salaries.

the Mets average around 35k a game.
what's an average ticket price, $30 or so (probably higher in New York)

that's $80 million just in regular season ticket sales.
obviously not all of that is profit, but just goes to show how much money is available.
