gosox41 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 Interesting read in the Daily Herald today. I'm surprised it wasn't posted as it is interesting even if it involves the Cubs. http://www.dailyherald.com/story/?id=77028 PT Barnum was right about suckers.

They have to. About 5 players have enormous backloaded contracts that increase every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot about that. When I heard the report I assumed they planned on taking on more salary, as in more players. I guess they'll be increasing payroll whether they sign more guys or not.

Dick Allen Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The White Sox are also raising prices and they lost 90 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linnwood Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 I can't really blame them. Every home game is sold out, and their customers have demonstrated that they are more than willing to pay higher prices, since a very large number of tickets are being resold at a higher price.

I don't blame them either, I'm just surprised the fans keep paying to see them. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
