• What does that have to do with the price of beans?

Photo by James Carbone/Newsday RM via Getty Images Sticker shock has been a theme of free agency so far this offseason. With that being said, is it really all that crazy? Do we need to look at things from a different angle? Inflation sucks. Or at least it appears to really suck. Back in 1986, a 16 oz can of beans cost on average 43 cents in the USA. It (by “it”, I mean a 15 oz can – stupid...2024
