MLB had to pay $70 million for us to go.

If it was desirable, they wouldn't have had to pay anything.

Exactly. If this was such a great fucking idea, CO, AZ, and MIL, at the very least, should have been falling all over themselves for the privilege.
I remember all the good times me 'n Miller enjoyed
Up and down the M1 in some luminous yo-yo toy
But the future has to change - and to change I've got to destroy
Oh look out Lennon here I come - land ahoy-hoy-hoy
