Take it for what you will, but apparently Dolan was asking for way too much. Gilbert walked away from the deal. Again, that's the latest I heard, so maybe W&G has other details.
Source?
Word of mouth. I obviously can't say who or what they do, but this is where it stands now. Doesn't mean it couldn't change down the road, but Dolan had dollar signs in his eyes and it was a little to pricey.
I'm not trying to be this "insider" guy, because, frankly, everyone hates that guy. I'm merely passing along info I heard. Like I said, take it or leave it.
Maybe as commissioner...
Until then, your dreams of wild free agent spending with a new owner are pretty much boned.
Holy shit you can't fucking read, can you. I never and I repeat never said anything about Cuban/Gilbert being better for the Tribe because they will spend more. In fact, I know that won't be the fucking case. Shut the fuck up and get off my dick.
...so what you are saying is that Gilbert couldn't afford the going rate? Good. If he can't pay a few scheckles more to be a MLB owner, then he certainly won't be dumping his own money into the team.
Kind of a situation that looks to be resolving itself. Had Gilbert overpaid like he did for the Cavs then maybe I could take him seriously- but apparently he is just busting out old tricks. Next will be the comic sans letter about how it fell apart due to greed...

And about 50% of those are occupied by Indian and Middle Eastern residents...
What does that matter? If they contribute to the economy and are good citizens, I couldn't care less.
