Yep it's happening. I remember hearing rumblings about this at Cubs Con 2015 and now it's all starting to happen. I'm excited.

Probably won't be the game-changer many think it will. The luxury tax still applies to the payroll and the multiyear penalties are still draconian enough that no one will be able to just spend through them. The Dodgers certainly tried, but it really wasn't worth it. Diminishing returns kick in at a certain point.

It jumps 13 mil over the next 3 yrs from 197 to 210..
Cubs commited payroll drops considerably over the next 3-4 yrs.

Im not gonna say the tv money will let them spend freely and theyll go over the tax, they may or prefer not too, i guess it depends on the situation.

I just think having that money will allow them to keep spending every year as needed up to the tax cut off and not have a max line to stay within a budget..

I'm interested in the programming. Was listening to Bruce Levine on the score this AM and the possibility of airing minor league, Fall and Winter league games popped up which intrigues me.

That what i would like to see too..
Plus replays of older games during the offseason..

Maybe get someone like Dempster or Ross to have their own weekly show

Might be a first if they air every team affiliated. Maybe even delayed cast due to scheduling. Winter league maybe a reach with location and tech in those areas. Would be cool if it exists. AZL fall league and S/T mandatory with minor league games televised

I’m pretty sure most markets just play up to their major league team and that is why many fail. Because they need unrelated filler that no one cares about.

They'd probably go with the late night Dempster thing they do at Cubs Con.

Guessing Dempster will be working his Harry imitation into whatever platform he's doing, Holy Cow.

They'll have a lot of time to fill, Crane Kenny has strong ties to ND so a deal could be brewing with them.
