He's panicking like he has a month late period.

Supply and demand for ego projects has been the single biggest driver of franchise values in the last few decades, versus back when sports was actually a normal business model. A pro franchise has become something closer to a megayahct to be shown off to the world versus something to profit from.

Cool. What amazing compelling knowledge. Glad your tax cheats have given you insight into professional sports ownership accounting at a level that can't be questioned without hurt feelings.

Jesus and now Bailey Horn is DFA'd too for this fucking mess.

If you want to provide something deeper I will listen, but just "trust me" isn't much of an argument.

With the kind of revenues the Sox are pulling down? Yes.

Also Ortega for Fletcher is absolutely a full pledged panic move.,

Ugh.

Sure, but no amount of magical tax knowledge is going to make up $100 million with these kind of revenues.

Look, I know the Sox get some revenues that don't come through on the baseball side, but if you track the Forbes +/- by year, the Sox are somewhere around $100 million in losses in that time. While I don't think it is that bad, I would be pretty surprised if they were hiding an extra hundred million dollars in that time period.

Team OPS, maybe.

Glad it was Pillar and not Fletcher.

Who was it that was calling him a bust after his first inning?

He has to park cars there for the chip on his shoulder he has about something so freaking simple. It's a train, it's not rocket science.

That's what you say publicly when you don't want to say, "Yeah, I wanted the extra $50 million dumbass, duh."

Sure, playing for 2nd place now gets you into the playoffs. But here we are fetishizing failure from a different era, while decrying it in the modern era.

"I haven't seen a guy speak this long to prevent something from changing since Strom Thurmond over civil rights, what's he so passionate about?" "Parking places."

And that's just our GM.

These are some big time busts getting picked at QB.

Do you not know Caulfield? It’s a three name minimum.

Kind of surprised they didn't trade for someone to take Mccarthy and block Minny.
