NATIONAL HARBOR, Md. -- Time for some trickle-down economics.
The City of Arlington -- or at least 60 percent of the registered voters who showed up on election day -- decided to give the Rangers a $500 million subsidy. Ostensibly, it is for a stadium. Be that as it may, it is now time for the Rangers to spread some of that economic windfall around.
About $150 million to be exact. It can be paid out in installments. Say about $30 million a year for five years.
If the team's intent is to contend and win in 2017 and beyond, then there is no choice.
