Quote:
Indians president Paul Dolan said the $57.6 million that the team receives from Progressive Insurance will go into a general fund and that it will help with the team's payroll. But because the team is scheduled to receive only an average of $3.6 million per year for the next 16 years, it's hard to imagine that it will have any effect on whom he might sign. That amount barely buys a good utility infielder these days.
As much as the new sponsor paid for the rights, the name isn't expected to be on the old Jacobs Field for a couple of months.
