We are trying to freshen up what is only a five-year-old ballpark. |
We believe we will be in the black, ... What I'm trying to do is a balancing act. The more money we make, the more we put in the field. That's the goal. |
We budget to hit slightly above break-even every year. Last year we were able to exceed that plan a little bit. That money has gone back into the facility, our spring training facility and our payroll. |
We don't want to change the integrity of the game, |
We still have a young team, but it's really good for them to hear at the beginning of the year that the baseball management is set. If you look at well-run companies on Wall Street, they don't have a lot of changes. And if you look at well-run baseball teams like the Atlanta Braves, they don't either. |
When you work on something like that you, you try to work on the whole, so it's all under discussion now in terms of financial terms and length and all that, ... But it will definitely be a meaningful extension. Doug has done an unbelievable job. I think everybody here recognizes that. |
