While I'm not too fond of the re-naming of Wrigley for any ammount of money, what really scares me is the selling of Wrigley to the state. That means that any...
Despite the difficulty I had dissecting that message, I'll respond by saying that, while I hate the decision personally, it's his business and I can't say it's...
Just 50 years ago when O'Malley packed up the Dodgers and moved to L.A., one thing became painfully clear to baseball fans: It's about the money. Nothing is...
Why not in the best interest? Could be a good way to offset renovation costs which the park is need of. The deal wouldn't necessarily put the business entity...
It's getting to a point where they should rebuild somewhere else. Everyone and their mother seems more interested in the park than the team. I understand, 100...

It would be a good way to offset the cost of renovating it, but that is not what the money will go towards. Zell wants to maximize his profit of owning the...
What do you all think I've been saying for quite a while. I don't trust Zell, he's an idiot. The Trib had a blurb about the prospective new owners, one is on...
... off the bat from all of these transactions. If the story in on the money, then I do see either a fire sale or some seriously higher ticket prices. << ...
I wouldn't call him an idiot. An idiot wouldn't try to maximize his investment. Thats all the Tribune Company is to him, an investment. ... trust Zell, he's...
The bottom line is it's business.... and business is all about negotiation. What we're seeing is Zell's starting position and him asking for the moon. If...

I also think it is wrong to sell the naming rights seperate from the team. If you buy the team, you buy all the rights. Zell, just wants to make $$$ at the...
