Wow, I had read on another ballpark news website that the sale was off permanently. Oops, I guess that website operator’s “sources” were not so good this time.
Thanks, Alan, for keeping this site free of wild speculation and the use of unnamed sources.
Thanks, Brian. As you know, it’s not the first time! If we’re speculating, we’ll say so. We won’t use a source unless we are confident in that source.
