Rogers Acquires 37.5% Maple Leaf Sports Stake From Bell for $3.5B
Rogers now owns 75% of MLSE, which is the parent company of Maple Leafs, Raptors and Toronto FC.

Jays are 7th in payroll according to this.Rogers has not done a good job owning the Jays. Overall they seem more frugal than the Leafs have been recently. In past reporting over arguments between Bell and Rogers over the Leafs, the Bell side seemed more reasonable. Their TV programming is also worse than TSN and I’m guessing TSN may lose their regional games now.
Don’t think this is good news.

Wrong. Jays have spent money. That's not the issue. Rogers has not done a good job owning the Jays has nothing to do with the financial side.
Correct. Won't have any impact on the on-ice product. The only real ownership change that would be impactful would be moving from a corporate to an individual owner. but that won't ever happen here.This won't change much of anything. It's huge news in terms of business news though.
“Rogers has not done a good job owning the Jays” and “overall they seem more frugal than the Leafs have acted recently” are separate thoughts. But the Leafs have been the biggest spenders in the league on stuff outside the cap and I’m skeptical that will always be the case going forward.
Thankfully.Correct. Won't have any impact on the on-ice product. The only real ownership change that would be impactful would be moving from a corporate to an individual owner. but that won't ever happen here.
Like everything else, it depends. Some individual owners are great, and some are not. The issue in Canada is that there are not a sufficient number of people with a sufficient amount of wealth to own significant professional sports teams. We are too small of a country.Thankfully.
Obviously some would be good, others not but I think the odds of an individual owner becoming intrusive is greater than that of a corporate one.Like everything else, it depends.

Still need a Stanley.
We all know that both Bell and Roger's have little interest in real winning. Money is the only game. Risk is not allowed in the board room. Shareholders views are ONLY monetary.
So if success as a Leaf fan is what you want. Buy shares.
That's not a secret, it's common sense.Let me tell you a secret. Winning = more money. It's in their interest to win.
Really! Tannebaum would be bad? In the end Ballard had same results as Bell.Obviously some would be good, others not but I think the odds of an individual owner becoming intrusive is greater than that of a corporate one.
Intrusive owners are rarely good.
Its all about risk assessment. Odds are winning are extremely low. Why put in a bunch of risk with such little chance of reward when you can remain status quo and continue to rake in the millions youre already getting.Let me tell you a secret. Winning = more money. Crazy, I know. It's in their interest to win.
