Yes, that's what I meant. And it's a pretty important thing because that's how it works in real life. There isn't a major league team in Topeka because it simply isn't large enough to generate enough revenue to cover the expenses at the major league level.
That disconnect between city size and its ability to support a ball club has been a shortcoming in my opinion.
