I think it goes back to the Aldermen of Chicago feeling like they decide everything. When Lee figured out they got cut of the process they realized that they might be in trouble if the Sox leave and they get a train depot instead. But the time to negotiate was when the 78 came up for. Instead the Sox got put on ice and instead did it themselves. FAFO as the kids say.

You know I was thinking what if......nah, forget it

She really should have brought this up while Jerry was pushing for the 78, right? If there was ever going to be another taxpayer-funded stadium/site for the Sox, it would be a lot easier to pitch it as investing in the existing site rather than building anew on abandoned land in the South Loop. She should have known her time was up when Ishbia put out his commitment to privately funding the new stadium. Lee continues to demonstrate that she is several steps behind. Which stage of grief is “bargaining”, again?

I had a couple of our football coaches today making comments to me about the Bears and I didn't quite figure out what they were talking about until I saw the news. At first I thought damn that's a steep price but then I realized the next few drafts won't be near the top with those first round picks.

I loooove this trade, love it. With the Bears getting Simmons I think of what Chris Jones at DT did for the Chiefs SB teams, total dominance, game wrecker. Simmons in the middle of the line demanding double teams and still getting sacks, hurries, and stuffing the run is what he does. His play will make the rest of the D line even better. Dennis Allen has the guy that he was looking for. Try and find a Simmons in the draft, good luck, very very rare commodity.

Big market teams spending lol before Dec.2nd. Predictable. Nearly a Mune deal to Happ. Almost makes one forget about an Orioles' FA outfielder coming off a career year into FA recently lol.

Ratings were much better than expected for a series that was a blowout without Games 6-7. Did much better than DBacks Rangers three years ago.

Murphy not getting an invite to coach the Yankees any time soon lol And just in case you didn't catch that, here's what Pat Murphy told Bauers: Bauers, 31, turned in a breakout season with the Brewers in 2026. The lefty hit .266/.389/.484, with a career-high 26 home runs, during the team's championship season. After signing a one-year, $2.7 million deal with the Brewers last offseason, Bauers is set to be a free agent in a few days. His breakout should earn him a fair amount of looks from bigger-market teams, ones that can outspend the Brewers and give Bauers a ton of money.

Yeah it was 1 blow out, 3 great games, and 1 good game. If you couldn't appreciate this series, I am not sure why you would watch baseball.

This should have started in 1990. But at worst, once Jerry tried to get the 78 built. once Ishbia stepped in and got stuff done, game over.

sounds like Houston and BYU back in the day....Ofc you had the opposite too, OU' Nebraska Air Force military academies running the wishbone.

35 years too late...they're willing to put their own investment $$$ on the line to make it a success, or the easier route of taxpayers'???

Personally would rather add Seiya Suzuki, Taira and let the chips fall where they may...but I'm not completely objective about Japanese players in all likelihood with so much time spent travelling there since Covid. In actuality, the Rays and Brewers are both the closest thing to Japanese style teams in the majors. Sluggers like Mune Seiya Ohtani and Sato are the clearest exceptions to the rule over there.

Poetic that Pham abd Scriff left so cl9se together

RIP Coach June Jones. When I was in college I would always stay up very late on Saturday nights to watch his Hawaii teams play. The games would often reach 4 hours cause they threw the ball 50 times a game.

I'm not sure what they can do to fit Mack in with the salary cap. I'd imagine they are pretty tapped out since they have to pay Simmons something like 7 million this year. I think Mack's pro-rated salary is $8 million, so they'd have to kick the can on someone's contract to make room.

For a 4th or 5th rounder, fucking do it.

Seems a little too late for this, to say the least.

This, like the “lawyer up” comment, is also posturing by Hintz. There’s no quote from Lee to back up that assertion.
