I guess that is for each city to decide. Look at what happens in LA on the football stadiums. I believe that is all private money. However, the city will kick in millions for infrastructure around the stadium and I'm sure the owners will get tax benefits. In a state going broke like California does that make sense? All to bring back football that left twice due to fan apathy? However, this is probably one of the better deals from a taxpayer perspective.
There are no rules here. We can take burrs' trolling adp and switch gears to trolling burrs and then shift to learning from adp. It's just a little newsgroup jam session.
In fairness, they were never the same prior. Never had a winning season prior to 12. Still time left but it will be very interesting to see how the team looks next year. No Span, Desmond, Fister or Zimmermann. Lots of money to add more pieces. Strasburg gone the following year. Plenty of arms ready at easy money. What I struggle with is how do you fix the line-up? Taylor takes over for Span, which is good. Turner for Desmond, which is great. However, you're paying Werth two more years and Zimmerman is starting to hit but hasn't been healthy in 4 years. Hopefully they can get hot and we push these talks off until November. Better hurry.
Agree and Giolito is the top pitching prospect in baseball. He could be an upgrade over Zimmermann. Regardless, this group has 7 weeks left to win a playoff seriees and make a run. We'll see. If not, a huge disappointment.
