False.  Did you not see the barricade collapse last year, spilling fans out onto the Eagles players that were walking into the tunnel?  And the pipe that burst, spewing sewage all over fans?  

 

No, don't watch NFL. When last I was at FedEx for a concert I had simply noticed that the building had not obviously killed anyone.

Yawn. Team not going anywhere. 

Not to pick a fight, but what is to prevent the new owner, if/when it’s sold, to move to greener pastures? While every other team went up in value, the O’s went down. That’s not good.

The other owners and the new lease.

Even if the O’s continue to go down in value?

If, somehow, the O's continue to go down in value after adding on-site gambling to OPACY sure.

After the Rays' and A's move and the lease is expired.

Maybe the Orioles will be part of a Jeffrey Loria type situation. They are sold to someone who keeps them in Baltimore. The Angeloses get a team like the Rays or A's and move them to Nashville.

Not to change the subject, but I did  Not want to create a new thread just for this, and don’t get mad at me, but I do frequent the Nats fan forum (the clubhouse), And people are commiserating about the bad luck they had with Stephen Strasburg, and how after signing a huge contract, they’re getting nothing out of it.  And they were saying that it’s the worst contract of all time. I corrected them and said no no no, the Chris Davis one is far worse than theirs. Am I wrong?

Miguel Cabrera?

From 2017-2022 he's been worth -1.1 rWAR.  He signed for 8 yrs/$240M (16-23).  I'm assuming the options won't vest but I don't recall what the thresholds are.

[Chelsea_Phil]

Well at least he got to 3000 hits, but you are right in that is a horrid contract.

Expansion has been deferred for years (five? ten?) while the Rays and A's situations get resolved. That's likely to take precedence over any relocation. The Angeloses will have departed MLB long before then.

Terrible contract but not nearly as bad as Davis’ and Strasburg’s.  Cabrera has a 112 OPS+ over the life of the contract so he’s at least provided something even though he’s basically been replacement level.  Also the 500th home run and 3000th hit are meaningful. Strasburg’s contract has a great chance to go down as the worst of all time.

Sell the team Angelo’s family. You are a rancid curse on this great town. Shame on you.

It's so much more money than Davis, especially when you factor in the deferred money lowering the actual value of the Davis deal.

Cecil Fielder top 5 worst contract for sure!

Flags fly forever.  I don't think the Nats feel bad about Strasburg.  I would feel worse about Corbin.
