Stanton's statement said the quiet part out loud: Blaming market size for inability to spend more for fear of losing profits.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve always loved those foam fingers proudly announcing "We’re Number One!" Which is why I had a great idea for the next Mariners promotional campaign after reading the MLB.com interview with team chairman John Stanton, who came out of hiding this week to remind us all why maybe it’s better he *doesn’t open his mouth. Discussing his team’s payroll, Stanton said, "We’re roughly the 15th-largest market in baseball.

They’re worth $2.2 billion. "But we can’t overspend because of our average market size!" Wink, Wink.
