If the site is valued at $1 billion, by constitutional property tax law in Indiana, they cannot be charged more than $30 million (3%) for that year's property taxes. Valuations can increase over time, but the rate cannot change, and would always max out at 3%. For a primary residence that number is 1%, So if you have a $250,000 k house, your max is $2500.

Capped at 3% of value. Welcome to the 1/2/3 laws. My primary residence can't be taxed anymore than 1% of NAV. For businesses and 2nd homes it is 3%. If they value the site at $1 billion in NAV, the Bears would be capped at $30 million per year in property taxes.

If they take on the whole deal, they will expect something. Unlike Jerry, they are almost certainly eating cash to improve returns.

Giving up assets for Castellanos is the exact opposite of what this franchise should be doing.

Because you are using a rate instead of actual production? It is an argument over back of the roster players with zero value. If you need to win on Mead, have at it. I will be here hopefully for actual decent players.

All for a dude who you hope to be as good as Lenyn? Cool. That's all you and Chris.

I honestly don't think Sosa has any real trade value either. All bat, no D guys only have a market if they are HUGE hitters, and definitely more lefty than righty.

I don't know what the hang up on Mead is here, but have at it. I honestly can't wait until we are actually good again so that other people's garbage quits looking so damned attractive.

The fact he has a history of actually hitting homers.

Sosa also showed a lot more power in the minors. I am not sure why everyone else's dumpster is so much more attractive than the dumpster we already know, but sure.

Is this post copied from somewhere else?

You and Chris Getz can continue to dumpster dive for this.

Sosa was a Latin American signing. We gave up only cash to get him. Vargas kind of makes my point for me. We could have had real prospects with longer control, but instead we got Vargas. Wonderful.

Plus his name sound positively AI.

And now they get to a few months later, and they spend $175 million to replace him. I don't know what the hang up on another post-hype flop is, but it is positively Getzian.

There were a ton of rumors out there about him being in various trades at the deadline to improve 3B. Enough so that Bruce asked him about it. And not only were they looking to improve the position he played, they were talking about him in trades to do it.

Again, note the date.

Note the date of the tweet?

I guess we are going to do the Shaw thing again, but even the "excused absence" thing isn't it. https://www.chicitysports.com/chicago-cubs-matt-shaw-trade-alex-bregman-nico-hoerner

Who even the Cubs have been trying to get rid of since he got there.

Why though? You already have a guy who HAS that, and instead would bet on a dude who has never had it? Mead is 24 and with over 500 MLB PAs and over 1700 MiLB ones. Lenyn is one year older.

Been on this train for a minute now.

He has 5 HRs in about a seasons worth of MLB ABs. Lenyn just put up 22 in almost the same amount of PAs that it took Mead to hit 5. The most he even hit an MiLB season was 15.

There has definitely been a thing internally for him for a while now. They are also putting him out front of a lot of stuff for a dude who isn't in their plans.
