The franchise value has 50x since then, which is pretty close to what stocks have done, but that wouldn't count any profits taken out over the years as earnings or dividends.

So they had Thorpe throwing with a bone spur? That's interesting.

There's about 40 games worth of difference between this season and a typical Hahn season.

That isn't advanced, nor a metric.

Sure, except you seem to actually be a Cub fan, which explains everything honestly.

Or even more so that a lot of the present problems happened while he was in charge, and that everything wasn't everyone else's fault.

That would include their buyouts, but Robert's return.

Jerry had 19% in 1980. The story is that he has been buying up shares as people have died and sold out in other ways. Between this, and the rumor of a large minority sale to Melody Hodson, it is nearly impossible to know what Jerry owns now, and what other people own and who they even are at this stage.

I hope people realize that a $100 million payroll means we have about $30 to $35 million to spend, even if Benitendi is still on this roster.
