And that could be the difference, a Wolkow here, a Zavala or Iriarte there, it's the current #15 system but the true quality depth that would headline a trade beyond Bonemer/Roch/Carlson is almost non existent. Hagen, Schultz, S.Smith, Oppor and McDougal have all lost various degrees of value during the last twelve months.

I think this is what the Bridgeporters will actually be able to muscle. It’s less about killing the project and more about throwing a wrench (or two, three, etc.) into Amtrak’s gears. If the residents are actually capable of delaying this project, I’m sure Ishbia will grease their palms. He/his firm is the one designing the maintenance facility, after all, so sound and light barriers can certainly be arranged if needed.

Yes, ETFE roof paneling and a stellar temperature regulating system is supposedly what’s going to prevent that stadium from turning into a greenhouse. Honestly, I think they can pull it off (for the right price at least).

At least they had an exciting run to the playoffs in 2024...and their late season collapse last year was entertaining, in a way.

Like Mets fans?

Colson has heard all of the advice from those with major league credentials but from this fan's perspective, it looks like Colson keeps falling victim at the plate to the same pitches/pitching patterns. If he gets hot though, he can carry this team.

Chase Meidroth.

That's what happened in Houston. They invented Astroturf to help that situation since when the roof panels were painted, the natural grass started to die off.

Newcomb

Wow, thanks for the context. Nobody said he was a head-liner. He's just a guy. However, he's a legit shortstop who hits. Who cares if he's a sub-.700 hitter in the bigs? He's a utility infielder who has some zip. His addition to a trade makes a package heavier than another team's.

With a clear glass roof, the Chiefs' new stadium has many similarities to planned or proposed new stadiums for the Titans, Commanders, Broncos, Bears and Browns. "Topped with 37,000 square meters of translucent EFTE panels, the stadium enhances visibility..."

Well, he's injured. I'd bet he would have been moved had he been healthy.

You guys have said this about every single trade the guy has made. I'd guess every convo started with "Caleb Bonemer plus...". I appreciate that you're mad about Castillo sucking. Nobody's trying to "justify" this trade to you. But you don't seem to grasp what has been explained multiple times.

Didn't the Astrodome run into problems with glass roof panels making it hard for outfields to track fly balls when that place first opened? I believe they had to paint over that glass. Wouldn't they have the same problem in Tampa?

Anything is possible, but I think there's too much involved here for the residents to be able to totally kill this project. It's not simply moving the Amtrak facility to make way for a new stadium. Amtrak has already said they need to move their facility to have more room to modernize their operations and there's the matter of this potentially killing the Northwestern medical research campus proposal if Amtrak's move is stopped. Part of the federal money is going to much-needed repairs on viaducts in the area, too. If anything, neighborhood and Ald. Lee's opposition could slow things down significantly. If Amtrak and Canal Edge want to head off that possibility, they'd be wise put some effort into coming up with ways to mitigate noise, light, air pollution impacts on the nearby residential areas. Those type of things should be feasible and not uncommon when addressing local concerns.

I went to the last home game with two other couples, inc a former Chicago Policeman, his wife and a few friends in one guys' Wagoneer. They heartily laughed when I asked if any of them or their kids would ever consider taking a train to anywhere downtown, especially at night. Hey, I won't be around to see what thet fellow wants to build but as I told my friends, I hate to see some guy from Detroit do what he proposes doing. It's pretty sad, but oh well.

Noah schultz

Make that #38 as well for MVPCA. 5 homers in his past 2 games.

I hope you're right.

Only if you same his name like homeboy says JAMES.SHIELDS.

LOL, bravo

Odyssey only worth it in IMAX surround sound or especially with 70 mm film projection capability…

Miguel Vargas

Maybe we can get Ketel Marte at a bargain price instead (But where would he play???)
