Theyll lose at least 40 mill. It all depends on how the fans take to the $20 ticket prices....and if the payroll means he ends up getting some of that bonus money in the playoffs.

Right now hes at 109 with 8.7 in cash. He just added 14 in salary and 5 in cash. So 123 in payroll and 12.7 in cash. Last year he made 69 mill, almost 70. He should make slightly more this year because hes playing better. If he makes the playoffs, which is still a big if, he could make an extra 5 maybe in the playoffs. regardless, he wont make more then 80. His expenses will be at least 110, probably 115. Hell lose at least 35, maybe 40.

That's what I thought too but it's not worth debating. Reality is, even losing 1 dollar is too many.

Should be interesting to see how things go for the Chubbies.

I think I made out like a bandit in this deal. Hampton had a terrible deal and now have enormous amounts of cash to spend next season. On top of great young players like Dontrelle, Buehrle.. I like.

Give me whatever amount of cash he can give up too and he will just have to owe me the rest or work something else out later with the rest of the money thanks. K, it's really on you guys to figure it out.
