If you get into a group like Oakland there is a TON of money to be made in appreciation alone. Put a baseball guy out front to take the bullets and make the moves, let him fight for a stadium, threaten to the move the team, etc. Let him also pick the baseball people and look at getting the team over the top. Even if he isn't a big share owner, I can see how someone would see the value in having a guy like Theo get all of the public abuse, while sitting in the background making assloads of money off of his work.

In the context of the article he is arguing TODAY's ownership share is understated at 14% (at that time)

I could see it being an interesting moneyball type of thing where teams try to take advantage and horde draft picks because they come cheaper than minor leaguers in trades.

I would say "yes" but I dont' see it being as big of a deal in sports where draft picks come up and start right away. Baseball is such a crap shoot compared to the other three major sports that it would be a niche kind of deal.

Jerry put up 4% of the purchase price when the White Sox purchase happened.

Rodon won't be back this year.

You are really trying to use a sexist trope to disqualify a baseball pitcher here? And then being ignorant enough on this topic to not know that she may well have more money than he does?

Or, the board made an assumption that someone better than AJ could be hired and JR told everyone "Hold my geritol" while bailing his buddy out of the drunk tank.

Jerry has never been the majority owner of the White Sox. In fact he was never even the person who owned the largest portion of the team, though it is possible he has become so, though not clear. Somehow he worked into the position of being the final sayso on the team, despite his minority ownership share. The last estimate was he owned 19% of the team, after putting in 4 to 5% at the onset.

The previous poster literally just talked about throwing at people for celebrating, so yes, that was the point here.

Maybe we try this angle?

Even throwing out the ass kicking that JS got in his brief MLB appearances last season, Kopech put up numbers at every level which were SIGNIFICANTLY better than Steiver.

Yeah, guys who got their feelings hurt tried to physically hurt and injure people to make up for their hurt feelings, yet today’s players are sissified... the irony is deep there.

"Sissifaction" and hurt feelings over players enjoying their accomplishments, all in the same post. The hypocrisy is strong in this one.

Who is going to trade something for the obligation to pay Kris Bryant 25 million next year?

He quite literally said that.

It isn't that simple. They essentially ran a complicated tax scam that put the Cubs into a complicated ownership structure which eventually will pass the team through as a tax savings. Because of this structure they can't just pay off the team debt. The debt has real world consequences for the team through the MLB rules on team debt and spending.

This right here. Bauer is a lockerrrom problem. Machado is a lockerroom problem. Kopech has off of the field issues. Tony is all of those things, and worse, but he is going to lead us? Um, sure.

Sounds like it was months earlier than that. They have traced back to September in Italy. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-italy-timing-idUSKBN27V0KF?utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook
