Ishbia increasing minority stake in Sox
I'll also bet on that the payroll that they have this year will be half what it is in 5 years.

I'll bet on it too. But it doesn't mean it absolutely can't happen.

Yeah, if you want big coin you need to do that. I just do enough that it funds itself.

Some say there are 7 layers of hell. I'm willing to take the chance as well. Doesn't mean there is absolutely no chance it won't get worse. Odds are it won't. But never say never.

So it can get worse.

Anything is possible. Don't ever say it can't get worse.

Yeah, that is always a point of contention with building. Who covers the cost over runs.

Ishbia increasing minority stake in Sox
Since they set the new record for losses in a season, it is categorically untrue that they can't set the record again. They literally did it last year. Again we hope it's not going to happen, it likely won't happen but never say it can't get worse. Last years team proved it can.

They weren't pissed with the moves made. It looked good. Talk to them now. They are angry. One even responded on a white sox podcast when a Phoenix hosts was on to complain. Regardless, the point being it can get worse at anytime.

Sure. But even compared to the previous years they were worse. Let's hope that new ownership will help. It's not a guarantee though. Everyone down there is pissed because they took a good team tore it apart and made it worse.

The key point was that the team got worse. Regardless of the reason. He asked if can it get any worse. Hopefully, not. But don't ever ask that question. Because it's always possible.

Sure. Don't ever ask that question. Look at what the brother did in Phoenix. Changed the whole team, has the highest payroll in the league. Team got worse.

I did for the second half of last year. Made a couple of bucks. Plan to do the same this year. Easy money.

Yeah, don't actually try to have a discussion about players and potential or performance. You'll get shouted down if it's anything but "they will all suck because the white sox will suck until they get a new owner." Not necessarily wrong but not informative or productive for discussion.

Join the club! White Sox have one of the best stadium experiences with the food and drink available. I have season tickets to all the losers Bears, white sox and blackhawks. Comiskey is definitely the best of all 3.

I thought by your comment of the count going down, you knew something about how it works.

He was pretty quiet during the last one as I recall.

I'm sure the shares go to a beneficiary. The board seat doesn't though?

Rubenstein of O's pushes for salary cap
The first paragraph really shows the different view point. Clark says the cap isn't in the best interest of the players. This is unequivocally correct. However is it in the best interest of the game? In the long term it could effect the interests of the players.
