They are both getting paid to talk baseball and don’t have to sit on the hot seat like a manager. Not a bad gig if you can get it.
Hence his bitterness. He doesn't care about pressure, he never has. He wants to work in baseball for real.

But, they're not proposing to raise the hotel tax. The funding would come from the existing 2% hotel tax, not an increase in the tax.
This. The other part seems to be existing TIF money and a capture of sales taxes from the area going to the debt service instead of the state. In theory based on what is public, no NEW taxes would be required, just continuations of ones that already exist.

AJP absolutely shredded Getz. I love how Getz immediately rocks back in his chair nervously, turns red, and starts sweating.
Well he and Ozzie have something in common... they can't keep their mouths shut and their ego's in check long enough to get a real job in baseball.

More interesting to see the moves made to get here, the DFAs, 60 day DLs, etc.

Based on what the attendance will be this year, I expect another offseason of cost-cutting measures
There it is. We are already down 100 million dollars on paper for '20-22. '23 comes out soon, and will the fall in attendance I see no reason to think that won't be another 8 figure loss. I am sure the real losses aren't as bad, but this team has seen its revenue dive hard the last few seasons.

Its a shame he hasn't been able to stay healthy at all.

Why do people hate Sox Math? I get the jingle as it was legit cringe, but not sure how Sox Math actually impacts anyone who has no interest in partaking.
I don't get why most of the things that bothered some people about Jason did, but that could just be me too.

Ozzie has them at 62 wins. Chuck picked 70.
Ozzie is 100% right here. If he gets to .500 with this squad, he is a god.

Contrary to the title of the posting, the Sox are not and have not been looking to relocate to the South loop. The plan and promotion of that concept was generated by a developer who owns land and have (unsuccessfully) sought numerous ways and means to develop it for a few decades. The 78 thing is the latest pipe dream of Related development for many reasons including those mentioned by SSHM above.
IMO, the Bears and the Sox would likely consider moving if and only if they were to relocate on land they own and have control over, including to some extent, development of surrounding land and revenue generated from it. The only way I see the Sox entering into another lease (if that is the way they choose to go) would be with the cooperation of the ISFA, the Governor, Mayor and respective legislatures on all matters. In the political climate we are now in, that seems unlikely. No public funding, especially for unnecessary projects.
Yes. The man who made his fortune first in real estate isn't looking to capitalize on the last great and empty piece of real estate in the downtown area to capture a piece the the latest and greatest trend in baseball revenue of the ballpark village in an effort to maximize cash flow and cram as much value into the franchise before he dies so as to top off his legacy buried in real estate and cash...
Nah that doesn't sound like Jerry at all. It's not like he just stood up and tried to sell this exact program to the people and state government. Nope, the Sox aren't involved at all.

- Crochet pitchers three innings of scoreless ball
- Five relievers are used to complete the game
- Shaw is one of those relievers and gives up three runs
- Hill also gives up a run, but the other three are perfect
- Offense only scores one run on a Robert solo shot
- A base-running gaffe kills our best shot at a rally
- The defense makes a handful of nice plays
- Pedro says something really stupid during the post game
Boy you guys are some wild risk takers!

In 1994 MLB thanks to Eddie Einhorn tried something like what you proposed called The Baseball Network. It didn't go over very well from an advertising standpoint.
Neither did Sportsvision in the 80's, yet here we are in 2024 with exactly that in place in every single baseball market.

I see many scenarios where QB's go 1-4. I don't know that Arizona is going to take one, but i suppose if they traded Kyler than it would be on the table.
AZ could definitely look to trade out to someone like Minnesota, but if AZ picks, they pick MHJr for sure.
