I dont know if this is really good news or really bad news for those hoping for the giants plan....
Play ball: Looks like the San Francisco Giants and a group headed by political wheeler-dealer Darius Anderson won't be battling each other for the rights to develop a ballpark village next to AT&T Park after all.
Instead, the two sides appear to be planning a merger.
Although neither side is commenting for the record, sources tell us both groups had doubts about the financial viability of their plans - and that getting into a bidding war wasn't likely to make things any easier.
Hence, we're told the Giants approached Anderson about a merger. That could place them in a stronger position to win concessions from the port, which owns the land.
Stay tuned.
