.............THANK YOU VEwwwy much.........

when I was a kid playing cadaco ALL STAR BASEBALL on my front porch which [instead of stat o matic
cards, had circular discs] had discs for players like
Tony Perez, Harrmon Killebrew and Felix Milan;

among my brother and my posse

I was reading marvel comics like Xmen and Iron Man and Avengers
(which were made into films good and bad when I got to be a old fuck)
and ET would not be out for another like 6 years....and on the back of my issues
of XMEN was a printed promo for a Jerry Lewis film called HARDLY WORKING

where his is copycat version of Mickey Rooney japaneeeeee trope from Breakfast at Tiffany's.

so who is laughing now; S Otoni a return of an Asian

[notice I did not write Oriental
which is still on my Monopoly Game Board, so all SJWs must do bad things to
the Parker Brothers HQ where this abomination of no diversity game was made;
they must be punished. That is sarcasm there kids.]

Babe Ruth to the baseball gene pool

a unicorn

a less than a once if a life time player (I like the film Stop Making Sense)

and when the Chicago media clowns realize that the acumen of the cubs owners
mafia

that mafia is cognizant of the fact that......

this is snake oil this is a fugazi.

700 mill for 10 years on a unicorn with 2 times bad pitching hoof sliced and diced

the international internet steaming revenue goes into the league coffers via MLBAM
not to the team......

which means that the Dodgers will not get the international revenue bump as well,
also how much do you have to pay Lloyds of London or whomever to underwrite
this monstrosity of deferred payment bs with the MLB luxury tax? No sane agent
would allow his client to get this deal without a rider that the deferred comp
was based on inflation as well? So this is a big ass cost with the insurance to make this
for Magic Js Dodger group, the revenue from their version of the Cubs Marquee must
be significant to make this a good deal, must outweigh the costs, which tells you a
great deal about MLB franchise income streams with a pay per view station making the profits
from WGN and TBS in the 90s look like chump change.

then again the Magic Johnson people have more money then GOD, this is a money
printing machine, conventional wisdom would say this will work out. This is the mutant
son of the Albert Pujols contract debacle which is the iteration of the
insane Angels contracts jeez paging Josh Hanilton...
..I would wager an old codger like J Reinsdorf would
gladly call in an airstrike with MRLS support on the Angels Stadium and franchise offices.



Waddle and Silvy and their producers could not be bothered to research this
fact, but whatever....its about the conflict that moves the ratings needles
the kayfabe, I just wish guys like Kaplan were better actors

say what you will, but Hampton and O Brad at least have real anger,
real feelings, real rage.......those guys were my uncles, blind rage.....
then back to the CPD beat or back to the Fire Department.....

again it remains to be seen what becomes of this play by the dodgers.
if the Dodgers have been above the set limit for the luxury tax (which I
would surmise that 2024 is at least their 3rd year plus over the limit;

that means that they have to pay a 50 percent tax on all salaries [I believed deferred counts] over
the commissioners set limit for the luxury tax. That is alot of cheddar.
So in terms of what you own a MLB team for, for a big revenue team,
the juice is more than like 150 million worth the squeeze.

but that take combines the news of the day with the great Jerry Lewis

a legend in his own mind

sabu

Ohtani deferred, but with Yamamoto signing, Dodgers have signed over 1.1 billion in contracts so far this winter. Sox still haven’t given anyone 100 million……

The White Sox also have more World Series wins in the past 35 years.

GO BEARS!!!

And now almost every other team is a poverty franchise, just like the Sox!

Jerry may have won the offseason.

What will the name be of the merged Cubs/White Sox team?

White Stockings makes the most sense. Orphans would immediately be the best name in sports though.

Rusty Kuntz. It's a great name for ...really anything.

I have this feeling that Ohtani will never actually see the $680M as cash, but that there's a gentleman's agreement that he will have the option to use that money to buy a minority ownership stake in the Dodgers once he retires. Current players cannot be owners, but retired players can.
