I may be reading this wrong, but I think Glendale's spin on this one is no better than John Garrett's on the Eddie Lack trade.
The judge said they have to pay the $3.75 million, but only increased the bond by $750k. So even if they "protect the interests of the citizens" by winning, they are still out another $3 million.
Question Trout - if the judge felt the city was likely to win on the merits, would she not have put the money into escrow? Or am I reading too much in thinking that, while the city's argument is not frivolous, that this is a sign she is currently leaning in the team's direction?
