There would also be more residential units in the west side of the river if the Railyards development comes to fruition. It’ll be interesting to see how many units total between the two sites there would be.

Congrats to Will.....great job! Now, do it again.

Very good player for a very good player! Cameron's WAR: 46.7 Konerko's WAR: 28.0 Cameron bounced from team to team...but overall...he was a helluva player!

I started working in the financial district in 1998, and that area south of about Congress, but especially south of Roosevelt was just wasted space for the most part. The area along LSD and between Roosevelt and Congress has really grown up, but this would really fill in the area between there and about Chinatowns northern end really well.

I don't know how many innings Vasil will pitch or if he is effective next season, the TJ jury is still out. I will make a very unpopular prediction; Castillo wins 7 games in a lock out season. Please don't throw a pie in my face until after end of next year..

Cool that you can see Soldier Field in the image...I know the Bears are leaving...but if they could have somehow made their current location work AND the White Sox build in the railyards...it would be a ridiculously cool area of Chicago to (re)develop! Still exciting with what is likely happening but linking any White Sox ballpark to the current Bears location with a soccer stadium in the mix would make that area hop beyond imagination!

I remember the Konerko trade; the Sox gave up a heck of a player in Cameron for Pauley. Konerko does have a statue at The Rate, so I think the Sox were happy with the trade.

Extremely well deserved!!! Congrats Will!

Vey few relievers are considered reliable, an organization develops arms and hopefully they pan out. I have no clue what Hagen Smith is and game 4 of the ALDS showed that Grant Taylor is not bulletproof. Grant is far from a finished product. He has the toolbox to be elite but there were bumps along the way this year. Let's be honest, he didn't face the toughest offenses in the post season. Trying him as a starter makes sense, then you hope to configure a Treavor McGill along the way.

Be really fun if they figure out a way to get places with a view into the park.

You are calling him "proven". He threw much less than half a season in the bigs, and wasn't "dominant" in the most important ones. It's an absurd premise over 32 fucking innings. It's like calling someone proven for 100 ABs.

No doubt Hagen was dominant, but I think the Sox bring him along slowly. No need to put unneeded pressure on him or have unrealistic goals for him while he is still developing.

What an unbelievable transformation coming to the South Loop.

Kirk ain't but that defense could.

That wasn't on Venable. He wasn't the one that couldn't hit a baseball at the end.

Well deserved. Hope they can continue to build on it.

Nice veteran bullpen piece. Closed a good number of games for the Reds the last two seasons.

Closer vote with Cash than expected...111 to 98. Some idiot voted for Boone. Not much of a consolation prize for losing his dad this week.

Outstanding season, +24 wins, over .500, MLB playoffs with a series win. I can dig it.

I count more than 20 high rises just in the renderings. 10K does seem like a lofty number though.

First signing that I know of goes to the Tigers: https://www.mlb.com/news/emilio-pagan-contract-with-tigers

I wonder if they plan to build a pedestrian bridge across the Metra Rock Island tracks to connect the development to everything east of Clark St. Such a connection is not shown in that illustration. 10,000 residences on the 78? Is there room for that many?

Cheer up he was fucking dominant outside some few innings.

Dude was terrible in the minors, was decent out of the pen, and then collapsed in the last round, completely unable to find the plate, which is exactly what killed him previously.

Choked away the division and the alds but congrats
