But everyone line up to buy those tickets!

I will put you on the list right after Clinton indictments.

Those went on "sale" a while back.

Feel free to join the crowds letting the Sox know what fans think of trying to sell tickets during a lockout.

Honestly, for that kind of a price, I am pretty surprised that the Bulls weren't in on CJ. I almost wonder if he gave Portland an ultimatum as to where he would go.

This is where the whole not being able to edit on Twitter thing is just stupid.

Too bad MLB owners haven't, as they are the ones who need to be willing to f@#%ing talk.

Congrats man!

Yeah, I also hate the interactions between Jaime and Beth. I can't say much more because I will spoil something you haven't seen yet, but we'll talk more when we get caught up. As of now I think my favorite characters are all of the ranch hands. I love Jimmy and Tex especially.

2021 was the 17th with a bit tighter of a COVID schedule https://www.cbssports.com/mlb/news/2021-mlb-spring-training-dates-schedule-when-do-pitchers-and-catchers-report-for-all-30-teams/

Going off of 2020s schedule, we would be four days away from pitchers and catchers starting to report for spring training. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/mlb/news/mlb-spring-training-reporting-dates-2020-pitchers-catchers/1ae9szkq7eby41wtmgcckq7hen

Boy that is a lot of volume and not a lot of cost for a guy of that calibur.

Just finished the 4th season here. IMO it took about a year and a half to get going, but was pretty good. I think I enjoyed more of the side characters than some of the main ones though. Most of all I love the scenery. So beautiful.

If I say the Rule of 72 and you don't know what it is, you should immediately go look it up and learn.

Everything is fine. Just don't ask any triggering questions.

So you're happier that your money is going to the billionaire owners instead? Odd flex.

The source material was posted earlier in this thread.

Every single team in baseball makes $100 million in cash before they ever sell a single ticket, beer, or hat. The season makes them money, no doubt, but a majority of cash flow comes from non-ballpark revenue.

Revenues have doubled with players share dropping by 25%. The billionaires are already bending you over, and then making you carry their mail afterwards.

You are on a message board, not a massage board. I know that's a small typo, but Soxtalk isn't here to be "fair and balanced". Any site that tries to say they are is lying. This is a bunch of individuals here trading opinions, with some of us even bothering to take the time to read up on what we are arguing. Soxtalk isn't soft or for those who just want their opinions spouted back at them in a protected and one sided format. This isn't about one person's feelings. It's about a 20 year old format which works to allow all sides to debate, but not necessarily agree. The fact that you tried to paint the admin team as some uniform force is the most ironic part of all. If you'd really paid attention you'd know that it's the admin team who typically has the nastiest rows with each other. It's just in this case the evidence is so overwhelming and obvious that we aren't.

Let me put it this way. I get a salary and a bonus based on personal and company performance in a six man shop. If nothing else changes, the company revenue doubles, and the company offers me 2% more, I would have a major problem. Your scenario is bogus and not at all apt. If the value of your house doubled, and the next owner was only willing to pay you 5% more, now you have a real comp. The players are the one who have taken a 25% haircut on doubled revenues here, not the owners

Again, what evidence do you have of this?

They pretty much did exactly that. They didn't negotiate for six weeks, then made an offer. Then the players made a counter offer and they walked away.
