Why are we acting like they are the only loaded franchise?

And the easiest way to increase it is to win.

Look, if the choice is Conforto, or the Getz failed prospect special, I would take the failed 'spect over Conforto, every single itme.

Good lord, really, you are comparing Billionaire team owners to Christmas presents? It is a ridiculous argument for sure. Team ownership consists of one job. Winning. Yes, I will judge a team as trying to win harder than it's peers as "better". Spending money isn't the only thing by far, but it sure freaking helps.

Because we should be punishing bad behavior, not someone who is trying.

Or, we could just move our own surplus IFs to the OF and save our assets.

Unless to have a line to the McCaskeys, that is impossible to know

Why is it better that so many teams refuse to compete and to bring the league down to that level?

Hahahahaha

It's a great example of management who looks their employees straight in the eyes and effectively tells them, sure I could be doing more, but why aren't YOU doing more.

Do you know sports at all? Almost 1/3 of the NFL isn't located in the town in their name. Both NY teams are in NJ. Washington is in Maryland.

Also for the record the Cubs madw almost 9 figures on paper last year, and probably just as much off the books in Wrigleyville. The fact they didn't lead the way for Tucker should piss off every Cub fan out there after they wasted trade chips to get him for a year.

Wait a day or two and let Cohen stew. He just got shown up, big time.

That's just it, they don't. They just want it more

The Dodgers are playing 4D chess. The White Sox are playing with themselves.

100% accurate.

Better than the players we actually have...

A "hard worker" who won't listen to instruction isn't really a "hard worker".

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.
