I’m not a huge football fan but it’s still the biggest sport in the country. It gives people a new possibility for wagering and introduces some new rules which should make it more exciting than the NFL. 75% of sports center will likely be about this story today
I can't see it happening today. With the debut of the AAF happening tonight, the Sox dont want this signing to get buried I. The headlines. Perhaps, it will leak tomorrow with a presser early next week.
We could use a stopgap measure in the outfield until our best prospects are ready for the big show. Signing any outfielder to a multi year deal would have been foolish as it would have blocked top prospects. I'm not sure there is anyone else out there better than John Jay that we could have gotten on a one year deal (especially at only $4 million). This is a good gamble......returns even money at worst but could produce a jackpot if we end up landing Manny.
There is supposedly a deal in the works for the Rio Casino to be sold, tore down, and a MLB stadium built on the site. Would make sense for Vegas and Portland to be expansion teams together.
