The renovations have been documented. The original offices above the ticket counters were pretty much the last thing left and those were gutted a month ago.

It's nice to have a namesake, one that is now STATE OF THE ART. Much better than Arrow Down Field.

According to @pgammo “industry consensus” is that FA Alex Cobb @Acobb53 is expected to pick one #Cubs or #Yankees soon. A source told me Cobb has multi-year offers from both teams #mlb.

My guy says he is going to take several million less to play for the Cubs.

Haven't seen him pitch. Is he a 3 or a 4?

why are you stealing dolphins bit?

It's a good bit. Nobody takes less to play for anybody. At least very rarely. The last guy who actually took less to play for the Cubs was Andre Dawson.

Heyward took less and I believe Lester did too.

I think Andy the Clown took less to be a part of the White Sox,too.

St. Louis offered more money but more years. The Cubs had a higher average plus a better player option.

Kris Bryant(Boras client) also signed less right after the draft to sign with the Cubs.

How do you manage to walk and breathe at the same time, Bob?

_________________

The Cubs front loaded the deal then gave him a short term opt out with both parties expecting that the signing wouldn't be a failure and that the balloon payment the Cubs were making would then be followed with another huge contract while he was still in his 20s. Alas...

Oh Jimmy, you can never have too many Dicks.

those are load bearing walls !

I love the fact that the subdivision has the Heyward contract details memorized

Andy did it for free but was fired by Reinsdorf/Einhorn when they took over the team.

With all the news about sexual assault these days, I wonder if Andy was some type of perv. Wouldn't surprise me.

Why can't they just redo the whole upper deck and lower decks? The pillars if I understand correctly are to keep the upper deck up. Even Dodger Stadium a 50+ year ballpark was constructed without pillars.

I hope they have plans to redo the decks and get rid of all obstructed views.

So this guy is not a ace right? Is he any good? or is the FA market this year so bad for pitchers that we can only go after #4 and #5s?

Glass houses Francis.
