[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1418009, member: 26283"] Right before the Cubs were sold to the Ricketts, Zell - the guy that took over the Tribune holdings - signed the Cubs to a below market TV deal. (That annoyingly has the Cubs bouncing around on four different channels in C-U.) That deal is up. The Cubs will be signing one of the most lucrative television deals in baseball sometime in the next four months. The public doesn’t know the details yet, but the Cubs are about to get an enormous bump in revenue. That’s what’s going to change this year. You can sum up why the Dodgers desperately needed to get under the tax this year in two words: Clayton. Kershaw. Now they can dump a truck load of money on him after he opts out and not have to pay the multi-year penalty. [/QUOTE]
