Buehrle>Wood Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 This story has been floating NBA circles a lot today for whatever reason. Basically the gist of it is the Bulls received 3.5 million for a draft pick the same day they signed Jake Burger. The Robert signing also thrown in there. Most NBA people seem to believe it. Seems ridiculous given that Reinsdorf probably doesn't even own more than 50% of the Sox (or the Bulls?) And the transfer of funds is not that simple.

TheFutureIsNear Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Aside from it being obviously dumb...Burger was an underslot sign. This rumor would suggest that the Sox ownership doesn't have the capital to maintain basic business functions like signing draft picks. That isn't even remotely true. That's a terrible rumor even on the worst of sports radio talk stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 JR owns almost all of the Bulls, but only a fraction of the Sox. If the numbers line up, it is only coincidence, and maybe some history channel writers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thad Bosley Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 (edited) QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jul 12, 2017 -> 04:44 PM) The Bulls and White Sox are separate businesses. Watch the write-ups then of Reinsdorf's so-called "legacy" in a few years when his tenure as owner of both teams has ended. They won't seem so "separate" when all of that nonsense begins. Â The narrative has already begun in several fluff pieces: Reinsdorf being described as "so awesome" for the city of Chicago because he brought "seven" championships to the city. He brought six Bulls trophies to the city of Chicago along with the lonely ONE and only ONE championship achieved on the South Side over his nearly 40 years at the helm there. Certainly very impressive for the basketball franchise; not-so-much for the baseball franchise, not over a forty period. Reinsdorf is somehow being made a hero in this city because he's been compared to the losing likes of the Tribune Company, the McCaskey's, and Bill Wirtz. Can you imagine any faint praise greater than this!! Â We ought to watch out for the favorable journalistic license already underway to conflate this guy's record during his time on the South Side with that with which Michael Jordan allowed him to achieve with the Bulls. Make no mistake: Reinsdorf's last chance for salvaging his legacy with the Sox is tied to this rebuild. Â If under Reinsdorf's waning days of ownership, Hahn can manage to acquire and develop the kind of players that will lead to a level of achievement manifesting itself in the organization's FIRST-EVER display of sustainable postseason play, then MAYBE Reinsdorf's legacy will withstand historical scrutiny. Otherwise, he'll simply be lumped in with the Allyns and the rest of the organization's owners responsible for the team's sad record of futility, and it'll open up a golden chance for the NEXT OWNER to achieve what no other Sox owner has managed to achieve: a winning Chicago White Sox baseball organization.

I am, however, a fan of the Chicago White Sox. Don't know if you've noticed, but they are in last place as we speak. Not to mention, but their performance the past five years under the current GM has been abysmal. The team as made one lone postseason appearance in the last 12 years since the '05 World Series appearance, in which they won one lone game. Â Much more to worry about as a Sox fan while Reinsdorf remains owner of our team than the simple facts about his ownership I occasionally remind us all about!

This has nothing to do with agreeing or disagreeing with your viewpoint, it's about the fact that now you simply see the name Reinsdorf and go on a b**** fest. Your post had zero relevance to the subject at hand. You are now derailing conservations as part of your creepy personally ventedda against Reinsdorf. And the worst part is that despite getting called out by multiple posters, you can't acknowledge how bizarre and random your post was and instead go on the defensive of your viewpoint. Â We all get it, you think Reinsdorf sucks. For the love of god, stop bringing it up at the sight of his name. You are bringing nothing new to the table, you're simply recycling the same old points over and over again. It's behind annoying man.

ewokpelts Posted July 15, 2017 Share Posted July 15, 2017 They are separate ownership groups and separate legal entities. While there may be some promotional deals worked on jointly, that's the extent the teams are "connected" aside from the chairman being the same guy. Rocky Wirtz owns a piece of the team, but you don't hear the hawks recent trades being done to "clear payroll" for a bulls signing. Â Even if the ownerships were to merge(Like when the Yankees merged with the nets and later bought the devils), there are clear lines of delineation that have to be respected. League rules prohibit money from one team paying for the other. Not to mention possibly breaking the law. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
