Dammit, I've had it with these big-market teams robbing small-market teams like Cleveland of their stars.

Hell the Indians could support 90 million payrolls (1998,1999) Cheap @ss Larry Dolan )(new owner of the Indians) doesn't want to play anybody.

Heh.....I was testing sarcasm detectors with my first comment.


The headline is the one off the ESPN front page, though not the one on the article. Yeah, it does look a little strange, doesn't it?

Larry Dolan is as mired in debt as WorldCON. When Jacob's was supporting 75-85 million dollar payrolls, he owned the team outright. All the cash from lodges, concessions and parking not to mention TV and the gate went to payroll. Now the money goes to service the 300+ million in debt Dolan took on to buy his legacy.
