The reason for this is pretty simple. In Accounting you are not allowed to revalue your assets at fair market value until the value is actually realised at the point of sale. Rogers spent $163 million on the blue Jays and $25 million on the Rogers center. That means they have a balance sheet value of $188 million on an asset Forbes values at $1.6 Billion. By building a new billion dollar stadium it allows Rogers to revalue the Blue Jays at far closer to the real value of the franchise and since it can amortize the expenses cost in depreciation over a long period of time (30 years) they get that money as an offset against revenues to lower their taxes on an appreciating asset value. Rogers has all the incentive in the world to spend as much as it can on a new stadium if they are comfortable with the value of MLB teams continuing to rise, it would increase the share price to add a $1 billion asset in the books. Should also add, Rogers only needs the government for land. The last thing they will want to do is give the government a reason to insist on design input where they will try to squeeze every penny out of trying to make it multi purpose when the Jays will want to keep it in their control so they don't need to compromise on their needs.

Omg, I'm waiting to wrote an exam in 5 minutes and this made me burst out laughing and make everyone look at me.

Was she hot or did you have to report her?

Think Richardson is still 45fv with the season he's had?

Guess I didn't realize your only allowed to scout players that very specific people expect/hope to return.

Realistically speaking, how many good 30 year old starting pitchers are there that deserve 5 year commitments? Pitching is a young man's game and we are probably better off flipping them for younger arms.

How much trade value does Pillar actually have?

Minor league players would out number major league players by like 7-8 times. That would completely shift the focus of the Union to them over the major league players and probably result in salary caps and limits at the top in exchange for raising the bottom (not that I would disagree with that).

Would love to see us provide free food and apartments to players to better control their nutrition and training time off field too in addition to these increases. Although ideally you would want to pay them $45,000+ a year so they can focus year round on development but that's not going to happen.

Who? I never heard a player with that name?

You know when you see someone making an idiot out of themselves and you blush over it because they are so awkward it for some reason makes you embarrassed? That's how I feel every time you try to make "Gurribabip" a thing.

Increase the likelihood of trading Stroman or is it too fringey to fill a spot?

I want no part of that tiny frame pitching long term.

My thoughts exactly lol

What the f*** ever happened to an escape from reality through sports? Must women infect every f***ing part of life and nag?

Curious what we can get if we paid all of Martins contract, unfortunately I think we are stuck with Morales even if we paid the contract.

Is it always this slow league wide at the time of the off-season?

We should stay away from a long term deal, we are two years away from completely clearing the trash deals and having $150 million to play with.

I was thinking that the other day updating the payroll spreadsheet I have. We actually have legitimate major league options for every single position beyond the 25 man and even some not on the 40 man that are close to contributing. Sure beats the AA days of 5 star names surrounded by garbage where only 20 belong in the majors.

Does anyone suck more dick in the media than Wilner?

Looks like Barry Zito.

It's what happens when you lose. Start winning and the yokels will show up in droves.

If we start winning division titles and championships I'm sure he will look beautiful to everyone.

Ugliness is the new market inefficiency.

That's a face for radio.
