Headed out of town
After 40 years of grapefruit league play, the Cleveland Indians will do their last spring training in Winter Haven.
I love spring training. But you gotta respect a town that can say "no" when Big Sports thinks they can shake down the rubes for new handouts.

Are the Marlins next? It's not like they're terrorists, and it's not quite blackmail, but nobody's much in the mood for handing them $60 million.
"It's clear to me that the Indians prefer to be in another community and have a new, modern, state-of-the-art facility that does not require them to make any financial contribution in the construction and development of that facility.
- City Manager David Greene
