Oh the economics are better now with the higher dollar etc but not sure if there is any room for a stadium downtown.

Actually, there is a lot of prime land within close distance from the downtown core.

Unfortunately, there isn't any room for a Montreal team in Selig's head.

I don't think there is room for anything in that vacumn. Even though it seems like it, he can't be commish forever.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

The Dodgers could potentially be acquiring Adrian Gonzalez, Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Nick Punto from the Red Sox.

Craziness.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Gonzalez and Beckett were claimed by the Dodgers, Crawford and Punto cleared earlier this month.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

That would be real whopper. Beckett would benefit from the move, not sure about Gonzo. Crawford is out with TJS. Pure salary dump by Sox
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I can't believe the dogers would want crawford/beckett and Agon...lol, Boston just made out with a bandit getting out of that crawford contract. Beckett was due to make like 14m next year and he's garbage lately. If this trade goes through, Boston just got themselves some nice free money and out of some hefty overpaid contracts...

Even all those players don't guarantee LA a def world series, not sure what they are/were thinking. Not only that. Boston gets 2 decent prospects back too.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Great point. De la Rosa is coming back from TJS and could be a very good pitcher. I think the Dodgers new owners are going to learn the economics of baseball the hard way.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

Done deal.

To Dodgers: Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford, Josh Beckett, Nick Punto, $12 million.
To Red Sox: James Loney, Allen Webster, Rubby De La Rosa, Ivan DeJesus, Jerry Sands.

Doubt they care. They've already spent $2 billion to buy the team and stadium. These contracts are chump-change for them. The Angels have become almost as popular as them and that's what's driving this.
 
Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

I see the Red Sox suspended Aceves for three games after he got into an argument with Valentine. Boy, things are a mess in Boston right now.
