Sox "aggressive" in mid-tier SP pursuit
They misspelled "tear", because you cry if you sign them.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
Good call, I meant to post about it in the TV thread, but just a vintage Burns show. 5 stars. Highly recommend.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
To be frank, you are taking the financing failure of projects to mean that something can't be built on the site, and that couldn't be more wrong. Having literally sat on Planning Commissions for about a decade, and being involved in the planning process for major projects, most of them never get built because of being able to raise financing, not because of soil or whatever else you are pushing here. Pretty sure that is not going to be the problem here with the guy who owns the Fire. Realistically all of the site remediation stuff is what costs will be pushed off on to the state and city as a redevelopment site to get this property back on the tax rolls at a massive number. This is what they love to put under the category of "infrastructure" we hear so much about. And for the record I am pretty sure the freaking One World Trade Center site weighs more per square foot than any other building project that could be put on the 78, and the WTC complex is literally the old Hudson River bank that was filled in over the centuries. They found a 17th century boat when they put the pilons in for the new WTC. Pretty sure the engineers can handle this.

I don't know why you keep going to this well, but most of the gigantic buildings of downtown Manhattan, a large portion of downtown San Francisco, as well as most of the buildings past Michigan Avenue in Chicago are built on fill. There is enough bedrock below which is accessible enough to build foundations for thousand foot tall buildings on, let alone a ballpark. None of what you posted is a dealbreaker, and is dealt with on sites all over the nation for much more complex buildings.

A rebuild of one thousand games begins with a trade...

Sounds like the perfect time for the "Carlos Rodriguez is already paying dividends!!!" post.

Sox have hired a director of "leadership and culture"
That's the joke.

Sox have hired a director of "leadership and culture"
I need like a 4 part episode where it is told from Jerry's View, Kenny's View, Rick's View, and Chris's View.
-
Sox have hired a director of "leadership and culture"
Kind of seems that way, yes.
-
Sox have hired a director of "leadership and culture"
Rick has told a similar story since he left the Sox.
-
Sox have hired a director of "leadership and culture"
Yes, for a promotion to Team President, which Jerry has never had.

Drug tests are still a thing in MLB.

Sox hire Carlos Rodriguez for Assistant GM role
Reading a couple of the posted articles, dude probably was mad he didn't get the promotion, saw his road blocked, and took the off ramp. That's what most people do who feel they have management they don't want to work with. This should be a great opportunity for him, assuming ownership doesn't roadblock him.

I assume you will keep this energy in your own posts.

Sox hire Carlos Rodriguez for Assistant GM role
Can we leave the stage of this discussion where anything other than pre-approved Getz praise gets yelled at, and actually get back to the hire?

I don't think this is a "risk averse" thing, more than a broke thing.

Pete Fairbanks?
They definitely have made it clear that they do not want to work with guys who don't' already have work ethic.

Ok, got it. Usually that was clear, but the extra post definitely didn't make it seem that way.

Didn't you just say that it was a serious source?

Sox hire Carlos Rodriguez for Assistant GM role
It has been already previously posted, as has the end of 2024 interview with The Athletic where it is made clear that Rick Hahn wanted to pursue much more analytics and Jerry stopped it... but you haven't let that one stop your obligation to the #HeGetzUs foundation.

You realize there is a Grand Canyon of space between "trashing your bosses" and (if you think this isn't accurate) flat out lying to the press about your situation, right?
