He's not entirely wrong though. Especially if they're talking about keeping all three of the guys mentioned. One guy, maybe two are doable but even then it would likely take a team friendly deal for one or both to realistically pull it off. At least in the sense of still being reasonably competitive as the players age out of their primes.
Guys like Brooks Robinson were with one team for their entire career not because the owners back then were willing to spend what it took to keep sentimental favorites around. It was because the players had no choice in the matter. Robinson retired in 1977. There was no free agency for him, or at least no real value for him to test the waters as a 39-40 year old. Even Ripken, who played entirely in the free agency era, made a career high $6.3M in his final year. Accounting for inflation, that's about $10.9M in 2023 money. or about a third of what Miggy Cabrera is getting for his final season.
