The team is so bad this is actually worth discussing. If the Sox are playing I find the opposing team's announcers annoying. Listening or watching random games and it seems that any announcing teams are an acquired taste.

I'm trying to think of analogies for this roster move and thinking It's like folding a napkin to prop up a wobbly table in a dive diner at 3:00 am but you keep falling off your chair because you are drunk.

I've always appreciated the understated eloquence of a Sloan Royal Flush II and a Johnson Products urinal puck.

Yeah, I probably should have given it more thought. It's not one of the dozens in twenty years that were actually good. ? More interesting to me is whose sock puppet is it? It's just too random not to be someone with an extra account for such occasions.

Wow, thirteen years to write 238 posts. I feel honored you would choose me to target. Lots of fruit in that thread, maybe try again to see which which piece I took a bite from. I'll look forward to your August post.

I'd hire him in a heartbeat. I wouldn't be playing for the Sox, Boras' players tend to go to teams like the Mets, Dodgers, Astros, etc.

Wow, our manager got ejected, I'm going to play better starting right now!

I didn't know Scott spoke Korean.

We'll eventually sign those guys at the end of their careers.

I'm more interested in how fast they could be in Chicago.

It's how I got through Grad School.

I think a shorter way to look at it is in baseball there are fewer movements and fewer skillful opportunities necessary to be successful. If any of those are diminished your value drops precipitously.

Obviously to be competitive baseball players have to be in prime condition. Hockey is so easy you can play hurt kind of like pickleball. /Sarcasm

Duh. It increases his trade value

I'm really happy to hear how well life is going for you.

And that's what I'm alluding to. There are several ways of defining healthy. The absence of disease is the old school definition. Now we look at vitality, fitness, mental, and emotional health. I could see at some point him taking the Chairman Emeritus route and being more ceremonial. I think semi-retirement is more likely than selling. That could be a step in the right direction.

Great point and after I looked at the list it made sense. They also have a really odd payroll. Their most junior "employees" are guaranteed $750,000 per year and they spend millions on others. While the people who technically are senior to them make way less. And most of those sales people I'm guessing are calling on corporate sponsors and companies to cross promote. The lack of corporation headquarters is a reason that San Antonio isn't as attractive of a market despite being such a huge population center.

Bannister is doing the same for pitching.

So retirement isn't an option? Doesn't that really depend on how long he lives and his medical condition?

But will he retire?

Actually I think if they are winning the sales department would increase to handle the additional interest and maximize profits.

I should say, that's more management than I expected. I also noticed there are a few TLR types as advisors. Plus some titles I didn't expect.

https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/team/front-office I was looking at the Board of Directors and seeing if any of them would be likely successors if JR ever retired and started scrolling. That's a big payroll.

Which is more likely? JR retires and sells his shares Or JR retires and keeps his shares?
