  1. Basic business success. Either charge more or lower your costs. Yes, they can’t charge more. Now players are getting a higher percentage of the revenues, whose pocket will that come out of? Owners? Front office? Other employees? Fans?
  2. Yet those top guys are the ones who will benefit the most by getting to free agency sooner.
  3. So which players are underpaid? Which Sox players are we wishing had bigger contacts? And how will that make us more competitive?
  4. Leury should be earning 8 mil a year. He would have hit free agency sooner.
  5. When elephants fight it's the grass that gets trampled. Players becoming free agents sooner and with larger contracts will benefit teams willing to pay top dollar on long term contracts. The Sox ownership group will pivot from decades of low spending on short term deals and crush the new business model with mega free agent deals.

    Still the worse traffic imaginable. Housing prices are still cheaper.

    San Antonio to Dallas is about the worst drive imaginable. When I relocated in the late 90s housing was about 40% less than the Chicago suburbs.
  8. No matter how you finish it the answer is yes. This is Soxtalk. At a minimum if everyone is for it, Greg will be against it and Caul will have well sourced 1,000 word essays that may be for or against, it's just hard to tell. It's why we love this place.

    Wow. I've been in 110 mph and I thought that was beyond imaginable.

    Bats? Austin is famous for them. Border Stars?
  11. Texsox replied to Texsox's topic in SLaM
    Vaqueros? Roadrunners?

    Houston to San Antonio is almost 200 miles. About twice the distance as Chicago to Milwaukee.

    Texas triangle. Works in basketball.

    Probably closer to SA. I'm guessing a team moving would be more likely than expansion.
  15. I have nothing but great memories about his years.

    https://www.texasmonthly.com/news-politics/newest-texans-who-are-they/?utm_source=texasmonthly.com&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=sharebutton California, Illinois, and New York transplants + international + few Texans leaving = a New Texas. Corporations like Tesla and HP heading here. Once the Sox get new deep pocket owners and a new stadium in San Antonio the take over will be complete.

  18. Casual fan, but from what I read it seems more like a made for tv WWF finish than a fair competition.
  19. As soon as players are earning more we'll have a better team. This team is loaded with cash and an ownership group that isn't afraid to spend it. Low wages help teams like the Astros.

    It meant I wouldn't be drafted. Very good news.

    Traditional - Little Drummer Boy Contemporary - War is Over - Lennon Novelty - Merry Christmas from the Family - Robert Earl Keen or if it is Christmas enough Dick in a Box.
  22. This. Hopefully he figures that out.
  23. They have the money to spend.
  24. They didn't extend him during the regular season, he stopped managing.
  25. Quitting on your team so you can go manage another team and multiple PR disasters probably killed his chances.
