Annette is 94...when she's gone, then all bets are off. The in-laws want to cash out, and I can't say that I blame them...
worst case I think would be Mark trying to buy the in-laws out via a leveraged buyout. Big interest payments financed by the team's cash flow would really restrict the budget.
The Lerner way!
According to Baseball America, the teams who will enter 2025 with the maximum $7.55 million in their bonus pools are the Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers, Miami Marlins, Milwaukee Brewers, Minnesota Twins, Oakland Athletics, Seattle Mariners, and Tampa Bay Rays. The next tier, at $6.9 million, includes a few smaller market teams who could use an inexpensive ace, such as the Baltimore Orioles and Cleveland Guardians.MLB rules allow teams to trade for up to half of their allotted pool, meaning even the teams with the smallest pools — the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Francisco Giants at $5.1 million — could offer more than that $7.55 million. But exactly how much of Sasaki’s decision will be dictated by money, rather than organizational fit for a high-ceiling, still-developing starter, remains to be seen.
Jim Leyland turned 80 yesterday? I would have thought him closer to 100, if he were even still alive...Good on him...
He smokes like a chimney. Some people are blessed with good genes.
