following up: Jerry Reinsdorf takes case for ballpark funding to Springfield
By Jim Margalus
(Photo by Kamil Krzaczynski/USA TODAY Sports)Jerry Reinsdorf made his visit to Springfield to make an in-person case with Illinois leadership for $1 billion in subsidies for a new South Loop ballpark, and if he angled for a charm offensive, he didn’t show that hand to the media.
He used the word “cordial” with regards to meetings, but he was shorter on words when the media asked about any specifics for his request:
He said he didn’t know if any legislation would be filed during the spring session pertaining to his proposal. When asked about the specifics of his request to lawmakers, Reinsdorf replied, “Come on, that’s enough fellas.”
And:
Isabel: Sir, why do the White Sox need another subsidy after being…
Reinsdorf: Oh, I don’t want to talk about that.
For those capable of cognitive dissonance, it’s tough to square up being as dismissive of the public as Reinsdorf is, while asking for all of its money (Illinois has a $900 million budget shortfall). The question is whether Reinsdorf’s blithe disregard for the general populace will end up hurting him …
… or whether a lot of this has already been generally agreed to, and everybody’s just going through the motions.
Lip, is this entire article lifted from soxmachine? If it is, you need to edit it down asap

81 games vs. 8
Catalyst to new neighborhood vs. who knows what the Bears' city plan is
Whatever new bears facility happens will be a year round domed facility. It will no longer be 8 games and some summer concerts/events

Maybe Reinsdorf didn’t ok the leak. Maybe the story wasn’t leaked by the Sox at all. Maybe the Cubs leaked it. The Cubs certainly can’t be doing cartwheels over the possibility of this deal coming to fruition. The Cubs and their fans and their sports media lackeys whom they give nice Christmas presents to would be doing cartwheels if the Sox fled the state.
Maybe monkeys will fly out of my butt

There's an old saying, if you're only a fan of a team when their winning, you're not a real fan of the team.
There are many old sayings. Doing the same thing over and over is insanity, fool me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me, never trust a snake oil salesman.
plenty fit

What’s worse? Giving Nicky Lopez $4.3 million or Merrifield $8 million?
In the immortal words of John Fox in his bears era, “it’s all bad”

Am I the only one that sees this as the Bears moving to the GRate site and Sox downtown????
I don’t see the Sox current site being anything close to what the bear’s want in terms of controlling the party outside of the field.

Why is he all for it? Does he love QBs that can’t throw the ball and go 10-28 as a starter for your team?
Herb can be a bit, how should I put it, against the grain

Just now, Chicago White Sox said:
What’s fascinating to me is that every argument of his against the move is immediately disproven by the existence of the Cubs.
Exactly. That area is hopping at all times

Yep. The current setup at GRF is very kid friendly. Pretty easy to park and head right into the stadium. A stadium in the south loop is going to awesome for the younger crowd. Not so much of a draw for suburban families and old timers.
As a suburban family man I wholly disagree that a brand new park is not so much of a draw because people party afterwards lol.

The one worked out pretty well for the chargers. The Elway one did not do so well for the Colts.
Ah yea you are correct, twice with Elway. I just don’t think Caleb is gonna have the sway
i also would question if it worked out pretty well for the chargers as Eli went and won two titles in New York and the chargers still are without

Even if it was true, there’s a difference between saying he doesn’t want to play for the Bears versus he won’t. How many players are really drafted to a team they want to go to? And this whole idea of wanting to go to Washington because he grew up nearby; well it didn’t impact where he went to college
Eli Manning happened once and it took a hell of a lot to make that happen. I don’t think Caleb’s dad is a retired NFL QB with the cache that the Manning family has in the NFL

He’s connected to the USC program. It was also interesting that Caleb’s dad directed Shane Riordan to their PR guy after denying Caleb didn’t want to play for the Bears to him a few months ago.
Well I’m convinced

How are we blaming TikTok when 17 years ago this entire site was mad at Greg Walker for “lift and pull”

Looks like Ravens DC Mike McDonald is going to be the youngest head coach in the league for Seattle

Shocked Ben Johnson is staying in Detroit, did not see that coming
Probably sucks having to wait through the playoffs and having the last teams without coaches being less than desirable situations at the moment

I’m not here to change minds. I think Flus is a terrible head coach and a good DC, it is what it is

McVay, Shanny, and Reid (for a long time - maybe not now) all call plays. Does that make them not serious?
No those are three of the best head coaches in the league that have done it successfully. I watched Flus ignore the offense for two seasons and had his fucking DC go AWOL and now he is back doing what he wants to do, being a DC. We already knew he could do that, he sucks at making sure the other side of the ball is in order
also, all three are offensive head coaches and the bears as per usual throw a wish and a prayer that the OC is doing it right

We know you’re not going to provide a trade of your own…apparently everyone prefers a 4-5 year rebuild.
I assume you’ve looked at who is receiving at-bats in the 2024 projected Fangraphs outfield.
2023
Luis Robert 5.0
2nd place 1.4 fWAR
2022Dalton Varsho 4.8
Jose Abreu 3.8
2021
Anderson 4.6
Moncada 4.0
Varsho 2.3 in 95 games would be roughly 3.5-4.0 extrapolated out for a full season
2020 Abreu 2.8 (would have to be projected)
Anderson 2.4 (would have to be projected due to Covid season)
2019Moncada 5.5
Anderson 4.5
Lots of 4.8 fWAR and above seasons in there…
Buddy I’m not contributing to your fever dreams, just laughin and gruntin
