If the cubs are having liquidity problems. The investment in Wrigleyville is not paying off and the debt, not cub debt, is crippling them. Odd write up by someone that seems to know something to state that.

Cubs owners borrow more than $65 million on Wrigley rooftops

2017年6月30日 — The Ricketts family's new loan comes amid its $850 million Wrigley Field renovation and development that is changing the look of the...

"Independent estimates place the Cubs' combined baseball and Wrigleyville district operations at generating annual revenues well north of $600 million, with net operating income often in the range of $70 to $100 million depending on attendance, media carriage fees, postseason performance, and the performance of ancillary assets like Hotel Zachary, Gallagher Way events, and the DraftKings Sportsbook."

The Chicago Cubs' Business Model: Team Revenues, Wrigleyv...

A clear look at the Chicago Cubs as a business. Team revenues and media rights, the Ricketts family's Wrigleyville holdings, and the capital investments that created a baseball-centered district of al

So you've basically got all the borrowing, $1 billion for ballpark renovations beginning nearly a decade ago...now this ongoing dispute with rooftops and then the Ricketts/Wrigleyville debt/developments to all consider.

    Wonder how many times she witnessed Cy Chen go 7 scoreless vs. The Sox

  • Sox are probably the last team that would go after him

  • I'm so annoyed that I can't get any energy about who should be signed knowing we are headed for the lockout.

Would be Sox #2 starter, at worst, a 3.

Huh? He hasn’t been good for years and he rarely stays healthy. He’s more of a #4 or #5 starter. This would be a less expensive flier signing and likely right up the Sox usual alley, so sadly it wouldn’t be a surprise.

Yeah he seems more like a depth, back end guy. We need stability and innings and he has historically provided neither.

If anyone had delusions of grandeur about the Sox spending big on higher tier free agents this offseason because their payroll is so low and they have so much money to spend, just look at the three names that they have been rumored to be interested in thus far. Nothing has changed.

Your need to jump to the most negative possible outcome in every single thread based on a couple of random Twitter rumors is truly something. Why not let things play out a bit before declaring we aren’t going to do s%*# this offseason?

Because we see this same act time and time again under Jerry and his budget. You spent numerous posts saying that the Sox needed to acquire two starters at the previous trade deadline. They did the bare minimum as usual and acquired an aging Castillo and we watched as they could barely field a rotation into the postseason. How is it being negative when history has proven it so?

So here's the thing. It's clear right now they have a wide nest cast on starting pitchers. Settle down.

Maybe it's just me getting older. But I don't react and attempt to jump off the bridge like others I'm seeing on here especially to the May interest to every rumor. Christ in the past 3 days it seems like we've heard them interesting in 20 starting pitchers.
