  7. Athletics Reach Tentative Stadium Funding Deal With Nevada Lawmakers May 23rd, 2023 at 11:55pm CST • By Darragh McDonald The Athletics and lawmakers in Nevada have reached a tentative agreement on a stadium funding structure, per reports from both Mick Akers and Steve Sebelius of the Las Vegas Review-Journal and Tabitha Mueller and Howard Stutz of the Nevada Independent. The Athletics initially agreed to a land purchase just west of the Las Vegas strip and were going to be asking for $500MM in public funding via county-issued bonds to be paid by tax dollars related to the stadium and relocation project. A few weeks later, they changed their target to a plot of land on the strip currently occupied by the Tropicana hotel, and were planning on filing a funding request last week for a lesser amount of $395MM. Reporting on Friday indicated that there was a meaningful gap in what the A’s were seeking and what legislators was willing to provide. That seemed to suggest that there was at least some chance of the whole plan falling through and the club turning their attention back to Oakland, but this deal seems to push the organization closer to manifesting their relocation plans. Per both reports, the agreed-upon deal includes a total of around $380MM in public money heading to the project. That is composed of $180MM from the state in transferable tax credits, with $90MM to be repaid over time from stadium revenues. Then there’s $120-125MM coming from Clark County in the form of bonds and another $25MM for infrastructure improvements. There will also be a 30-year property tax exemption issued by the county, which has an estimated value of $55MM. Although the sides seem to have reached an agreement, there are still some more steps to go through. It has to be formally presented to the legislature, with filing potentially happening as soon as Wednesday, and then it needs to be approved as well as being signed by Governor Joe Lombardo. Major League Baseball’s relocation committee also needs to rubber stamp the project. The site is also close enough to Harry Reid International Airport that the Federal Aviation Administration will need to provide approval before construction can begin. Though those feel like small and surmountable hurdles to overcome compared to agreeing on the financial numbers Assuming those hoops are smoothly jumped through, Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc. will provide nine of the 35 acres of the Tropicana site to the A’s for free. The club hopes to construct a 30,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof in time to open for the 2027 season. Once the construction is complete, ownership of the land will transfer to the Las Vegas Stadium Authority. That body also came to own the Allegiant Stadium site, home of the Raiders, after that was completed.
  8. What a remarkable fluke stat Move Alonso to the 3 hole and that won't last
  9. That could easily be it or at least ties it In 25 man roster times you only had 12 or 13 position players and the pitchers for rhe Jays have never hit except in occasional WS or ingerleague games in NL parks
  10. Lets face it Decent chance he has the best career among Jansen, Kirk and himself Trade grade depends very ouch in how good Varsho is for rhe next 3.5 years And hopefully Kirk finds his stroke again
  11. I had to run when it was 10-1 They scored 10 more? Holy s***!
  12. A slim looking Ryu shown at the park today I still want Manoah to turn it around of course, but if he doesn't Ryu maybe could actually get some starts this season
  13. That's what we're all thinking
  14. -1 WAR Springer vs 5 WAR Springer probably has a bigger impact that the stat would even suggest
  15. Holy s*** Springer Yes yes yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
