Me personally, I 100% believe this is Jerry's coronation of his successor, no matter what his mouthpieces say.

His influence is also waning, and has been for a while. Getting his ass kicked for the last commish vote was a big slap in the face, as he basically mustered no support.

I mean it COULD be a power play for Ishiba to do almost an activist investor thing to force changes within the organization, but it seems like a really big assumption for a guy to pay that kind of money for shares, if he doesn't have a path to throne, for a guy who has bought major professional franchises in the past.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Especially as a reliever.

If Clevinger isn't going to be an innings eater, there is even less than zero reason for him to be here. I won't argue with the idea that we need a starter who can get you 6 or 7 when the kids fail in sequence, but if they aren't going to use Clev that way, it's an even worse signing.

The article stated the price doubled since their last offering by JR and the kids. It is also near the full market value for the team, even when including the non-voting consideration.

Never. Never ask questions. Never.

Until MLB votes on any change the statement is technically true, even if it is a lie in concept.

If the article quote about the price of limited share prices doubling in a couple of years is accurate, Jerry’s fiduciary duty is more than covered.

Like blood for a vampire, or anger for Darth Vader

Shhhhhhh....

Oh man, someone is about to be triggered.

Virgina McCaskey just made it to 102.

Correct. The money goes to the people exiting the organization.

The Sox since 1980?

If there is no Jerry shares trading hands, majority share still wouldn't include voting rights unless there was a back room deal involved.

Yeah either something red flagged with the Twins or Jerry made him an offer he couldn't refuse. This was not random

Counting on Jerry to honestly tell us his plan seems not likely.

The minority/non-control/non-voting sale price just doubled in a couple of years. It is right there in the story.

Yes. This is how it works.
