ZIPS projection story...
As to #1, I am guessing the algos are taking in his massive slump into the equation here. Keep in mind it was only months ago he was so unplayable in AAA they shipped him back to Arizona to rebuild him. When you discuss possible outcomes you can't leave that part out. Was that mental? Was that the Colson we get when his back bothers him? We never really got told the why of things go so bad to have a better idea of the likelihood of a repeat.

Just stop with this. No one complained after 2005. Not even Lip, me, or any of the others who ruin your life by not liking bad baseball.

Dylan Cease to TOR, $210mil/7 years
I mean two things can be true at the same time. Jerry Reindsdorf is embarrassingly cheap AND this is a bad contract.

Depending on if the Yankees media company is within the actual Yankees corporation, that may well be true.

“The 78” is alive and well for the Sox, Bears are 'advancing' Hammond development
This is kind of the point. If you aren't going to win every year, something other than winning has to be a draw to your stadium. Teams all over baseball have figured this out and made it work.

It's odd that people don't think that maybe more transit options would help attendance, instead of worrying about parking lots.

And mostly because the bullpen is awful.

I don't know him, but I am sure this is brilliant and the finishing piece.
