Do the White Sox have new minority ownership?
Another thing is if you have a media guide and look at the White Sox Board of Directors, and compared it to the BOD from a media guide 20 years ago, you will see it has shrunk. When people die, they do not get replaced.

Do the White Sox have new minority ownership?
As a kid, when JR bought the team, my dad is a lawyer, and he told be back then how this was all set up. It was just as the Tribune reported it 7 or 8 years ago. You could imagine there has to be a lot of people thinking selling is a good idea. If the original partners are still alive, they are in or pushing their 90s. They probably can't fully enjoy the full fruits of ownership. And heirs are sitting on generational wealth, and might not have the same passion for baseball their deceased relative had.

And you are never going to get a list of who owns what. Even the other partners have no idea who owns what. Only JR, and maybe a couple of his lackeys.

Do the White Sox have new minority ownership?
The way this is set up, JR has control until he is dead or sells out, and there isn't anything the other owners can do about it except sell their shares, and I think JR actually has to approve who they sell them to.

Do the White Sox have new minority ownership?
We have gone through this many times, and the Tribune confirmed it years ago, JR could own 1/1000th of the team, he still is in total control, and if he dies, the executor of his estate has control.

Do the White Sox have new minority ownership?
JR still controls the team, and unless some of that 30% he actually sold, his bank account didn't get any bigger. Really, if true, nothing to see here.

Cesar Hernandez traded to White Sox, Konnor Pilkington to CLE
Cesar was really good when he first came over, then really started sucking in Iowa. Hopefully he can get back to where he was soon.

9/16 GT: Angels @ White Sox, 1:10pm
He's thrown the most innings he has since 2016, and has thrown well over half the innings he has pitched the previous 4 seasons combined, and they are getting stellar production from him. Whether this means he will be a full go at playoff time, or they can only have him for 1 start per playoff series if that, who knows but the White Sox? But I agree, they are doing the right thing.

Eddie Jackson went from so good to so bad so fast. I often think he thinks he's playing flag football.

Tepera on 10 day IL; Fry recalled
Yes. He looked good. 3 outings he has looked good for an inning. Just the first one, he got hammered in inning 2 or his ERA would be 0.00, and he'd be k-ing around a batter an inning. Not bad for a guy who can't keep a roster spot.

When he was up before, he didn't look so bad except his first outing when he went in for his second inning.

Gio back, Collins up, Mendick and Seby down
What is interesting is Romy is now apparently ahead of Mendick with the White Sox people who decide such things.

Gio back, Collins up, Mendick and Seby down
The Seby 4-4 , 3 HR game might be the biggest outlier game in MLB history. What are the odds? He's a .146 hitter without that game on the season, under .140 for the career. with a k-rate approaching 50%. He is basically a pitcher hitting.

COVID Thread Part Deux
A woman who made anti-vaxx videos, and bragged that she has never worn a mask and called police on those trying to make her wear one, got Covid and was hospitalized. She wanted to be treated with horse dewormer. She won't be making any more videos or calling the police.
