The next step is obviously this deal falling apart because it was reported on too early.

Didn't it come out that he wasn't meeting on his own behalf, but for TLR's group looking to put an expansion team there?

Hey Twiiter, what is trending?

This land has been empty since before most of us were born. Put another way, this land had been available for almost 20 years the LAST time the White built a new stadium.

There are a decent amount of parking garages in the area for the Financial district too. Lots of people have their monthly parking down there because it is cheaper than the actual Loop.

Fair chance that happens before any new park could open. My fear is that Jerry dictates who he wants to sell to before his death and it is someone just like him.

I am sure it would happen. The CBOE is the terminus. There is nothing stopping another stop for a ballpark. The electric line is blocks away too.

Baltimore could do better. Elias just chooses not to.

Mile-ish walk

Here's a crazy thought, a guy who gets twice the money probably should put up better results. Jesus man, I don't even know what you are arguing anymore.

Putting more weight into the actions of 29 teams isn't more significant than the actions of 1 stupid team who can't develop pitching? Flawless logic there. And yes, if any other organization though Fedde was worth a s%*#, he gets way more than 2/15. That's literally the way the open market works.

Public transportation would be incredible there. Be a lot less need to drive from the burbs.

So because the Sox spent money on Vera, Rodriguez is going to be a star starting pitcher in Toronto. Makes perfect sense.

Mmmm my favorite, Name Salad.

Hahahaha what?

If anyone else thought he was going to be a decent starter, he gets 9 figures at a minimum. This is Eric Fedde money. This is 7th inning reliever money. As desperate for pitch as MLB is, the market has definitely spoken.

Vera was 1/20th the investment and almost 10 years younger, but sure. Totally the same.

Here's the thing. We know statistically what a player's prime years are in their mid to late 20's. Most of the reading I have done on this focuses around 27ish, but that general 25-29 age range seems to be the peak performance for the average baseball player. When statistical models knock future expected performance for a players who age is over level appropriate, there is a real reason for that. When you have a guy like this who still has yet to take his lumps in the majors as they approach this "peak" age range, there is a real statistical probability that you won't see the same performance as you would have for a similar player who is making his waves ahead of this aging curve. Yes exceptions happen, but those who fail to learn from their history are doomed to repeat it. Betting on exceptions to the rule versus the rule, it is a risky proposition, especially in a post steroid era.

worthless /= worth less. THAT is the context you are missing.

Don't worry, 30 years from now someone will be including all of these guys in lists of all of the ways we failed in the 2020s.

This is your last warning. Stop starting fights about nothing here or you won't have to worry about it.
