it's all about the news articles, history and player pictures -- however they are made.

if you turn it to 'on demand' for the pictures, i bet it knocks a ton of space off. plus, it will have a pic if you look at them -- even if in retirment. so, everyone that matters gets a face at some point. nothing lost, like history or news articles related settings. no way to avoid the bloat due to that stuff, if you want to keep it all.

a picture is worth a thousand news stories... maybe.. i don't know the size of the pics, lol.... they are 'heavier'. so, if you generate a pic for every player created at incepction, you could have millions (but, more likely tens-of-thousands) of pictures of players that never even reached the MLB. again, nothing lost if you put it to on-demand. you pull up ricky smits from 2022 A-ball team, whe then retired the next year, and it will generate a picture at that time.
