If things do wind up working out, it will be because it was a good fit for both sides, not because we showed him a good time. I don't believe there is a need to show him Chicago. He has been to Chicago and from what I understand he has had a good time already.

It would be a crime against a community of three million people to move the Dodgers. Not that the move was unlawful, since people have the right to do as they please with their property.
