the only good reason to build a new park would be to make the outfield gigantic and then have the fastest team in baseball.

there’s really no good reason not to build/extend our downtown district with the new stadium and it would be a big mistake to pass over this opportunity.  the added benefit of helping develop the chiefs complex is just gravy, baby

What if they just extended the street car out to the existing stadium complex? Would allow P&L peeps to go to games.

Wasn’t that the guy everyone was groaning about giving a new contract to?

They're going to be in full on money save mode and not even attempt to compete until they move downtown. They aren't going to try, however they do have to field a baseball team, and Chapman's deal is cheap.

I'm guessing they assume the backlash for Chapman will be minimal because fan interest is at an all time low. With the Chiefs being great and all the local colleges being at least pretty good at FB/BB and the Royals being horrible and on a channel no one has, they are as much as an afterthought in this town as I've ever seen- and that includes the Buddy Bell years.

This really sucks.  I know it's probably for the best for both the Royals and Mondy, but man that guy had so much potential.   I got to see him play a few times when he was completely healthy and the way he could just completely dominate a game was amazing.  So fun to watch.  I hope he is able to stay healthy and has a productive career and the Royals benefit from their side of the trade as well.

He's never even come close to playing a full season. Stinks but I think it was time to move on.

I'm actually shocked by how many people are bitching about it on Twitter.

I started seeing stuff recently connecting the Royals to Nashville.  I feel out of the loop on it.  Is there some reason to think the ownership wants to go there or is it just as likely it's being used as leverage for the downtown ballpark?

i have not seen any of that but i'd imagine it's originating from somebody in nashville trying to raise money to build a baseball stadium (lol)

Yup, I like the guy but he just hardly ever played. For the best

A couple random articles, possibly from totally bullshit rumors.  I feel better that people that follow this crap haven't heard anything.  I'll forget about it for now.
