The Oakland Athletics have reached an agreement with Bally's and Gaming & Leisure Properties to build a potential stadium on the Tropicana hotel site along the Las Vegas Strip.
Bally's Corp. made the announcement Monday for a 30,000-seat stadium on the 35-acre site. The project is expected to cost about $1.5 billion, and the A's are asking for nearly $400 million in public support from the Nevada Legislature, which could vote on a proposal this week.
The Nevada legislature has to vote on it soon, because they only meet bi-annually. If it doesn't get addressed in this session, then it won't come up again until 2025.
But fuck that $400 million in public subsidies. Absolute horseshit.
Dem guys is use't to rakin' and shakin' out change, so no biggie to them. Pull the one armed bandit again is their mantra.
Doesn't change the fact that public subsidies for private enterprise is bullshit, and every single argument saying that public financing of sports facilities leads to economic gain for a municipality has been debunked since the late '90s.

Still a better defensive 1B than Mancini as a backup.Mike Trout has passed Junior Griffey on the career bWAR leaderboards.

Also, my nightmare is over. The Cubs have designated Hosmer for assignment.
I'm wondering when Wisdom gets a bus ticket to Iowa.
