SAN DIEGO -- Four city council members are offering San Diego Chargers owner Dean Spanos a lease of $1 a year for 99 years for the Qualcomm Stadium site as a starting point for negotiations for a new stadium.The offer will be in a letter due to be sent to Spanos on Tuesday, with copies going to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and the 31 other NFL owners.It comes six weeks after a Chargers-written ballot measure asking for $1.15 billion in increased hotel taxes for a new downtown stadium was soundly defeated, the latest twist in the teams long, bitter attempt to replace aging Qualcomm Stadium in Mission Valley.The Chargers have until Jan. 15 to exercise an option to move to Los Angeles and join the Rams in a stadium in Inglewood scheduled to open in 2019.Councilman Scott Sherman, whose district includes Qualcomm Stadium, shared a copy of the letter with The Associated Press on Monday evening.The hour is late, and the time to find a stadium solution is getting dangerously short, the letter started.The last two paragraphs read: Before leaving 60 years of tradition and loyal fans, lets give one last concerted effort to come to the table and hammer this out face to face, working together toward a common goal of keeping the NFL in Americas Finest City. If we fail to come to an agreement, at least we will know that nothing was left untested and we can part ways knowing that we gave it our all.We ask that the Chargers give San Diego fans another chance.It will be signed by Sherman, Chris Cate, new council president Myrtle Cole and Lorie Zapf.Sherman and Cate opposed Measure C but want the Chargers to stay in San Diego, preferably in Mission Valley. They hope the letter can get the Chargers to the negotiating table for the first time in 1 1/2 years.The Chargers rejected a city-county plan for a new stadium at the Qualcomm site in 2015, and then voters rejected Measure C.So heres another starting point, and lets not give up on 60 years of tradition and fan loyalty, Sherman told the AP.The Chargers didnt immediately respond to a request for comment.The tricky part, of course, is coming up with a plan to pay for a new stadium.Sherman and Cate said theyd like to see the Chargers, NFL and a development partner build a stadium. Both council members said they hoped it could get done with no public money.At the end of the day, 166 acres in the geographic center of the eighth-largest city in the country is the perfect spot to develop, Sherman said. Im convinced we could get over 50 percent (of a vote) with that. This is all just a starting point to start the discussion. The way we laid it out with the lease, its a large incentive to come to the table.In 2004, the Chargers failed in their attempt to get the city to give them a large chunk of the Qualcomm property in exchange for privately developing a stadium.The cheap lease deal is as close as getting the land given to you as possible, Sherman said.The Chargers walked away from talks with the city and county in June 2015 and focused on a plan to build a stadium in a Los Angeles suburb with the rival Oakland Raiders. That plan was defeated by NFL owners in January in favor of the Rams Inglewood plan, but the Chargers were given the option of moving to L.A. If they decide to move, theyll have to make a deal with either the Coliseum or the 27,000-seat StubHub! Center as a temporary home.Mayor Kevin Faulconer has had private talks with Spanos and a team representative in recent weeks. Details of those talks werent made public.We need to hear from the organization what their concerns are, and if theyre even open to having a discussion for Mission Valley, Cate told the AP. These are things we need to hear from them about. The fans need to hear from them, too. What does success look like to them? We havent been able to have a discussion as a council with them. This lets them know were willing to have that conversation.Sherman said he hopes people with the NFL note that for the first time, four sitting council members say this is something we can support and move forward from here, something thats never happened before.Is this a final Hail Mary from City Hall?I think were going to continue to push as long as they havent called U-Haul and havent t moved the trucks up, Cate said. Were going to continue to have proactive outreach to the team to see if we can open dialogue.

NEW YORK -- The St. Louis Cardinals did not arrive at their hotel in New York until 8:30 a.m. Monday after a flight delay that followed a nationally televised night game.They got a chance to catch up on sleep when their series opener at the New York Mets was rained out and rescheduled as part of a doubleheader starting at 4:10 p.m. Tuesday.St. Louis 9-6 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers in Sunday nights ESPN game lasted 3 hours, 49 minutes, and ended shortly before 11 p.m. CDT. The plane taking the Cardinals to New York did not land in St. Louis on time because of weather, causing the team to remain in its clubhouse for several hours.I didnt hear the guys barking and complaining, which could have been easy to do, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. So it was impressive. Just you do what you do and show up and get ready to do it again.When St. Louis first landed, Matheny thought briefly about heading straight to Citi Field.We had to come right by, he said.St. Louis Carlos Martinez (9-6) and New Yorks Noah Syndergaard (9-4) were pushed back a day and will start the opener. The Cardinals Jaime Garcia (7-6) and the Mets Bartolo Colon (8-5), who had been scheduled to pitch Tuesday, will start the second game.Before the rainout, the Cardinals selected the contract of right-hander Jerome Williams from Memphis, optioned rookie right-hander Mike Mayers to the Triple-A club and transferred right-hander Jordan Walden to the 60-day disabled list.Hopeefully we dont need Jerome.ddddddddddddId love our starters to go out there and sail. But the likelihood of us needing some arms down there is pretty high, Matheny said.Mayers started Sunday and allowed nine runs and eight hits, throwing 62 pitches to get four outs. He became the first pitcher to allow nine or more runs with fewer than two innings pitched in his big league debut since at least 1913.Hes a tough kid, Matheny said. You could see as things were kind of unraveling, he just kept going, and he was making pitches in the zone for the most part. He just didnt have his best stuff to put guys away and make the kind of pitches that he wanted to, and I think he got away from his game plan a little bit, which is completely common for not just him but any pitcher that starts to see things snowball.Matheny spoke with Mayers after the outing.I reminded him, too, the fact that, dont forget you started in Double-A this year. Thats a big deal, to be able to come in on a team thats right in the middle of things, the manager said.St. Louis began the night second in the NL Central, 7 1/2 games behind the Cubs. Chicago acquired closer Aroldis Chapman from the New York Yankees on Monday.Were not too concerned with what we cant control, Matheny said. We cant control until we get to face him, so well deal with that then.
