• In stadium news, the Cubs are pushing through as much as $500 million in renovations to Wrigley Field. $300 million will be for renovating the stadium, while the Ricketts family is likely to spend an additional $200 million improvements outside the park, including a hotel and office buildings surrounding the field.
• Meanwhile, Montreal is pushing to build a new retractable roof stadium in the hopes of bringing MLB back to the city. While the A's have been rumored as one team for consideration, the targeted team is the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, assuming no stadium situation can be figured out there. This would be preferable, as it would not require any re-arranging of the divisions.
