Dolan can go be poor (relatively 😭) elsewhere Oh I agree. I’m literally still pissed the dolans were awarded the franchise in the first place. I thought there were better candidates to buy them. Still feel there was something fishy going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I’ve made my points way too many times. this year, its a given. The entire league has said so that they are losing money. Dolans have been crying about losing money from basically the beginning. We cant pay Manny/Thome...because lost revenue We cant pay CC/Lee...because lost revenue We cant pay Clev/Bauer/Lindor...because lost revenue Dolans have had this team for 3 championship window Late 90's/early '00 Late '00 Mid/late '10 And they have ruined each window. They never went all in. They spent money on Edwin but they could have made other moves that would have been better or could have made more. If you have this 'investment' that is always costing you money/losing you money, you dont keep it, you sell/move on but the Dolans are not doing that soon. Its rumored but I doubt they do it within the next 5years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buno67 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Cesar and Berto winning GGs. Berto going back to back with it. Great knowing you have a stud catcher, catching stud pitchers. Easy to have a good pitching staff when you have a GG catcher, SS, and 2B. Just be nice if we had an above avg Center-fielder... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buno67 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 (edited) Yeah if youre an owner of a sports team. Said sports team should not be your main avenue of income. Such a joke. Will the Dolans ever realize they are the problem with the team? Edited November 5, 2020 by buno67 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buno67 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I was reading something that they say the Dolan’s are waiting for the lease to be up, so they can resign it. Once they do that, it was increase the value of the team. Making it ripe to be sold. I believe the lease expires in ‘22 or ‘23 make sense but what makes more sense. If you are planning to sell the team in that time span. Resign Lindor. You look up a field and a super star for a new owner. That at least gives the new ownership an amazing player to market around. If you are only going to own the team for a few more years. Sign Lindor and let the new ownership worry about his contract. I feel like once Lindor gets that extension, he will play like his old self. Feel like he is worrying about that contract and where he will end up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're essentially following his blueprint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
