He leaves out the part where that means they also keep 100% of all stadium revenue, unlike others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant called St. Louis "boring" during a comedic moment at the team's annual fan convention this weekend. When Cardinals star catcher Yadier Molina heard about the comment, he responded by saying "only stupid players and losers" make fun of other cities. "I'm like, 'Zero chance in hell,'" Dempster said. "No way. Won't even go there as a free agent. Not happening." Cardinals outfielder Marcell Ozuna, commenting on Molina's post, also took exception to the comments. "From outside they speak and talk like tiger but at the end they gonna be like little cat .. #cerorespectforthisstupidplayers #quevivastlouis #LOVESTL," Ozuna said on Molina's post. http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/25802952/yadier-molina-st-louis-cardinals-takes-exception-comments-kris-bryant-ryan-dempster Edited January 19, 2019 by caulfield12 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Somehow I copied the Madden box too...don’t recall Ozzie ever saying “he came up on one-year deals” and enjoyed having the opportunity to prove himself again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yadi took a screenshot of Bryant talking and put a response on Instagram: “All stars, elite players and leaders of their teams do not speak bad about any city. There should be respect and you should play and compete with respect... only stupid players and losers make comments like the ones made by bryant and dempster .. #ceroRespectforthisstupidplayers #QuevivaStlouis #LOVESTL" Pause Current Time0:00 / Duration Time0:00 Stream TypeLIVE Loaded: 0% Progress: 0% 0:00 Fullscreen Edited January 19, 2019 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SonofaRoache Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 On 1/17/2019 at 9:10 AM, [email protected] said: The cubs are in a tough spot because their recent free agent signings went so bad. Cubs did a great job rebuilding and their initial free agent signings also went great (lester, zobrist). But then they handed out 2 huge contrasts that flopped so far (heyward,darvish) and chatwood isn't cheap either. Now the arb raises kick in and the core gets expensive too. Because of that they just don't have a lot of room to make additions now. Can't really blame ricketts for this and while they might not be a super team anymore they are still got and projected to win their division next year. It won't get easier though, the team is only getting more expensive and the pitching is aging with little help on the way in the farm (whether as SP prospects or trade chips). They had a great run though whith averaging like 95 wins for the last 4 seasons and they likely won't be bad the next 2-3 years either. Milwaukee is going to win that division again.
