"The business model in baseball, it's worked pretty well for a long time, but there's a few things right now that are just a little out of kilter," Ricketts said on 670 The Score's "Inside the Clubhouse." He acknowledges that the competitive landscape has shifted, making it hard for teams with fewer financial resources to compete on similar terms with higher-spending franchises.
"Some teams just have outside resources that are funding their player moves and acquisitions, and that's really hard to compete with. I understand when fans say, 'How come you don't spend like that?' Because they think somehow we have all these dollars that the Dodgers have or the Mets have or the Yankees have and we just keep it."
