It also helps guarantee dates like opening day will happen.

Tell me why again.

You need to admit that those are two big highlights.

Anything is possible, although I think Sosa is worth more to us than anyone else.

Tony sucked the life out of the club and the fan base.

TLR is the gift that keeps on giving. By far, the biggest mistake in JR's ownership.

Hey...the season isn't over.🙂

I don't think it is either...but it should be.

A dome would fix weather issues that would keep some players from picking Chicago.

A dome would make it weatherproof.

If they play like they have lately...they can beat anyone any night.

He should.

Taylor works fast and throws strikes. My kind of pitcher.

No...but it does matter what GM's think his value is.

Your take is the most likely outcome. Just spitballing that 4 yrs at 40 M isn't silly. It might be an overpay or a bargain.

Just saying there is nothing that says 10 million per year would get turned down. That's good money when you have no guarantee that more than that is in his future. He hasn't been worth more than that. Additionally, he had a front row seat to how fast a Tim Anderson fanished from relevance.

Because the options cost 20 million per year. 2 years for 40 isn't quite the same as 4 years for 40. I would argue that he is worth 10 million per year because of his current skill set.

I wonder what 4 year contract would cost. Yes I understand who his agent is. His skill level with speed and defense would be worth say 4 years at 10 million per year. I don't want to give him away for nothing...and I sure don't want to pay him 20 million per year.

Montgomery has more upside, but Sosa would be an upgrade as well.

Once Montgomery is in the lineup instead of Rojas, I like lots.

Agreed, as long as the money is spent throughout the organization and not on just a couple of overpaid busts.

He is what I wanted Madrigal to be.

Agree!

Congratulations on getting axiomatic into your reply.

I would settle for a roof over the current stadium. My interest in spending money is focused on the team. Baseball can be played in parks a lot less expensive than these new proposals.
