Yes. Boyer.

Normally I’d say don’t trust anything from barstool sports, but that is 1000% correct. Wintrust offered money for the naming rights and wanted to resurrect the comiskey name. BUT, that money would go to ISFA and not the Sox. Wintrust did make a separate sponsorship offer that was also more than GR’s offer. That would have made them the full banking partner of the Sox. Where GR would just the the loan sponsor. both offers were rejected by the Sox in favor of GR, where brooks voter’s brother in law was an executive.

We don’t know his current stake, but he put down $1 million of the 20 needed to buy the club in 1981. So he owns “at least” 5 percent. his CONTRACT as chairman give him controlling power over the club. He answer to the board but has final say.

The Florida suncoast dome was under construction.

Tampa certainly wanted them. They built a stadium for them. The Sox are at 35th and shields still because Harold Washington and Jim Thompson brokered a deal that if the state paid for a stadium the only site would be 35th and shields (or within that footprint). there was lots of talk about the south loop or even the west loop, but the only proposal that reached a vote was Addison. And that measure lost.

My upper corner seats went up 25%.

No joke, how’s the Disney thing working out for you? The mouse makes things look good, but I’m afraid it’s just a timeshare scheme.

Except the electrical and plumbing!

I’m pretty sure benetti has an agent when he did his fox and peacock deals. I would recommend that he uses that agent with the Sox, no matter what brooks’ lying ass says about how these guys are like family.

Tru dat brother

Cleveland reworked thier lease. The original 30 yease was set to expire this year, but it was turned into a 15 year deal that started in 2021. With an option for another ten years at the same terms. sox have seven years(including this one) of their deal set to expire in 2029. That was extended when they changed the parks name. 2030 is a buffer year that the Sox have the right to enact. The naming rights deal expires in 2030 with or without the Sox.

To be fair, they fleeced taxpayers for &200 million and have a short term lease where they can get a new park in 15 years.

516 had seats. It’s 514 and 518 that have handicapped stalls. My brother had seats in 516 row 2 for years.

With the upcoming labor battle, I doubt the Sox move on any players with big price tags. If anything they try and get guys with 1-2 years of control at a discount.

The lakers did.

paul konerko stayed in Chicago because they offered him 60 million dollars. not because he dedicated himself to Chicago and its fans. and in 2005, he was still under team control and had no choice but to play for chicago.

Cobb would still be a first ballot guy. Especially since his “reputation” is more or less bullshit.

Which design? Addison? Pinelas County, Florida?

And he was also %#$%@# GOOD.

Minnie wasn't on the list that Harold was on.

Do you know what $15 an hour is for a full time worker? 30 grand before taxes Is it that hard to want people to make at LEAST that? An apartment in Chicago is on the low end $1000. Utilities are another 300 a month on the low end. Access to the internet is at least $80 a month(phone or home service). Food for a single person is at least $200. A car payment is at least $200. Gas is likely $50 a week or more. At $15 an hour, you would make $2400 a month pre-tax. In this example, your low end costs are $1980. you have $420 left over to save or spend. Now imagine those same costs making $7.25(the national minumum wage). You would earn $1160 pre tax, and be in the red $820.

They were getting about 500k per game on cable, and roughly 125k on Wgn. Since figures weren’t released, we don’t know. But if the per game rates hits 1 million per game, then they would have roughly $150 million just in local tv money in 2020.

Not really. You still select the best available out there. There isn’t a need to draft for need just yet.

Peavey was ALREADY INJURED when the Sox made the trade. That’s why padres took the Sox offer at the deadline, because Williams offered the exact package as he did in May. In retrospect he was decent when when he was healthy. And he also foolishly took a smaller below rate deal from the Sox, which ultimately allowed the Sox to not only get out from under the contract in the 2013 dumpster fire, but also get avi Garcia in the process. (To be fair, he ended up being on two WS winning clubs while under that deal).

this times 100. rodon is done.
