However much the Bears had to spend this offseason, you can add $30 M more.

Love that lineup. I can't wait to listen. I imagine it will be Mick Gillespie who does the Smokies games. He's been doing the ST PBP for a few years now. Sometimes Coomer shows up too. It's a weird set up. Pat hasn't done ST in a few years. For a while Len and Mick would tag team. I miss Len.
If left off the protected list in the first round I could see a team taking Canario or Mervis right away.
Some might say, the Cubs dodged a bullet, lol.
Big leaguers can handle velocity. That sort of the first hurdle to making it. They have a hard time with movement and location. Obviously, you can be throwing 82 MPH fastballs down the middle, but command is king.
holy horsefeathers. Lawn tickets for the March 14th game against Oakland(!!!!!!) are $20. Great seats are $100. It looks like it's sold out for the most part.
For the Cubs it's a big business. Last year their average crowd size was 13K and the place only holds 15K. And they aren't paying salaries. It's not that way for every team though. When we lived in Florida, I used to watch the Orioles play for $10 in Fort Lauderdale. That was 20 years ago though.
