Re: New GM/Cubs Future News Articles

[SouthSideRyan]

I think the biggest news is the person who posted that levine said baseball money might be 200 million instead of 150. I'll believe it when I see it...but it still didn't even get a single reply?

 

That just seems too weird to contemplate. Without knowing exactly what he said, did he mean they eventually hope to get it to 200 million with new revenue streams.

 

Because if not, BRB I have to order my Cubs Pujols, Wilson and Sabathia jerseys.

 

[expletive] that, just get 3 Ricketts jerseys

 

Maybe 2 Ricketts and a Kenney

[Guest]

I think Kenney does deserve at least SOME ire for pulling that dumb ass priest [expletive], harmless as it was.

[minnesotacubsfan]

The Score is butthurt that they are getting scooped on all this, and are now ripping Kaplan for "Not saying anything different but framing it in a different way" and have used that as a chance to launch into a rant about ... Crane Kenney.

 

Changing the station.

 

I'm gonna put an autographed picture of Crane Kenney holding up the world series trophy on my mantle.

 

i'm going to sneak into your den and switch it out with a dave kaplan d pic

 

it won't be hard since my sister will be living there

 

I'm really enjoying how you've come to accept how inevitable this is.

 

 

she has red hair now. I think Tree is trying to tell you how hard it will backlash on you

lol according to waddle and silvy, cubs convention ticket emails went out today.

 

 

Yeah I found it in my inbox. Mentioned the new GM hire, as well as a new perk this year. Early bird signups to the convention get two free bleacher seats to an April weekday game. They are so generous :banghead:

When I saw the 200 million thing from Levine posted on here, I figure it's just a misquote. If not, having a 170 mill major league payroll with 30 mill going towards the draft and IFA's would be totally incomparable as to how bad ass that"d be. Like I said, I figure it's just a misprint.

He could redeem himself by passing out Exorcist medallions during the World Series.

...Wait...

 

PAYROLL INCREASE!??????????????!?!??!?

How would it be a misprint if I heard it on the radio?

 

 

Unless you're saying I typed 200 instead of 150 or something.

 

 

Either way, I'm not 100% sure on what I heard, but I did hear him say something with regard to "around $200M."

Everyone should get themselves one of these sweet things

Yeah, that's kind of what I meant. Just figured you heard it wrong or caught the tail end of something. Because I can't even fathom how ridiculously awesome that would be, if true.

[Guest]

Everyone needs to relax because I'm not even sure what I heard.

 

Like someone else mentioned, he could've been talking about down the line with added revenue streams.

[minnesotacubsfan]

if we dont end up with a Yankees-like payroll I'm blaming David for mis-information.

I demand that he pays the difference out of pocket.

You did say baseball budget though right? That could theoretically include front office personnel salaries and not just ML salaries and draft spending. The way it was worded made me think it was including something other than just player salaries and draft spending.

Blame David

Not the first time he's let folks down.

We know, but let's just pretend it's fact since we're in the middle of a consensus euphoria anyways.

[Magnetic Curses]

maybe he's captured henry and lucchino and is charging the world's 2 richest men 1 billion dollars each to murder them hostel-style.

Pfft, I can see my family anytime, but there will only be ONE Theo introductory press conference.
