My working theory is the timing of 2029 is basically that Isbhia is putting in the money to build the stadium and get that all done with, and once that is complete, Jerry sells off the controlling interest to him.

Neither of them wanted to say anything, but it seemed like Schriffen going COMPLETELY dead air made Steve feel like he had to say something.

Bay area couldn't handle two teams because the A's made the Sox look like a well ran organization and played in possibly the worst stadium in all of sports.

Palacios needs to go completely. Forget the whole playing everyday thing. It’s insane.

I’d say that four years went by pretty damn quick. And 2027 or whatever is going to be a short season AT BEST anyway.

Oh no we’ve lost Carl.

Be tough to get rid of coming off a 2028 World Series win.

I think that’s just nothing language to attempt to temper things down.

What upstanding billionaire would you like to buy the team?

So why didn't the Sox move in the last 100 years? You aren't moving a team from Chicago to Nashville. It's just not happening. MLB wouldn't let it happen, either.

The ultimate trick. To build a 100 million dollar home next to the team you just bought and then...move them to a shittier market?

...Well then what is it?

Trust for what? To not set the all time loss record and not give a s%*#?

Yeah, 4 years ago the Sox won 93 games. Look how quick that went!

I'd assume immediate control.

We are getting a Sox/78 announcement before this time next year.

I still want to understand why Jerry wants actual control for four more years. You want to put a top 3 worst team in baseball out there for the next four years? Then your work is complete?

Him and Ishbia have an agreement in place. 2029 at the earliest, but he is putting money into it in 25 and 26.

Could be? Whose to say?

Wonder what the capital infusions in 25 and 26 are? New stadium? KYLE TUCKER?!

Yeah I think it's really time to see if Fletcher/Julks/etc can give you anything more than Palacios. Rojas/Capra should also go for Sosa and Baldwin. Whoever doesn't get to replace Palacios will replace Tauchman and Taylor when they are moved.

Elko hopefully back for good.

At least my last name isn’t Dingler.

He can think whatever he wants. A lot of rich people think stupid things.
