Would they take the shameless statue of Ted and his 17 years of ownership, down outside the stadium too?
“Free up capital for other projects” is such a typical sleezy slimy lie that only the PR staff at Rogers can come up with.
They could come up with that same $ by raising rates to customers by $10 a month per year (and will probably do that anyway), so it’s clearly a sell job because they’re such a scatterbrained fly by the seat of their pants company that thinks their gifted monopoly out east means they’re a smart company, but terrible customer service, half baked ideas (digital magazine subscriptions) gets put up with.
Any purchasers however would have stadium upgrades to complete (another idea Rogers half heartedly has gotten behind, but likely won’t follow through, especially now) to make Rogers Centre at all a viable financially profitable venue as it nears 30 years old.
And yeah, Donaldson gone sooner the later. No JB, Encarnacion. Gibby likely in his last couple seasons...a totally different team as it starts pushing down on the reset button in the next two years, that had its window the last couple years prior to this one...and got screwed big time in Game 6 vs KC or they well could’ve gone on and won the WS 2 years ago.
