Since I hate the Pirates, the ownership should sell them to someone who gives a flying fuck and they should move them to the AL West. How's that?

Before the season started, Ron Burkle and Mario Lemieux (the two main people in Lemieux Group LP) made public an interest in buying the Pirates. The current owners made public that they have no interest in selling the team.

And why would they? They make $9 million each year for fielding a (at best) AAA team. I have not gone to a game in 3 years, and do not intend to do so for at least the near future. My son is 2 and I want him to be able to experience professional baseball, so I'm sure in a couple years I'll have to take him to a few games - but for now I don't give the Pirates any money.

I do love the team and don't want them to leave town but the only way they are going to get better is for MLB to step in and say that through blatant mismanagement the current ownership has shown no interest in growing the game so if they don't sell, their status as a major league franchise will be rescinded.

I should clarify. I don't hate the Pirates team or franchise. I actually love their history, park, uniforms, etc. I just hate the organization and their approach to running the team. I'm not even a Pirates fan and I shake my head everytime I see them let a great player get away, or the management make choices that are purposely made to cut costs and stunt growth.
That's what I meant.
