But I think the heirs have to resell after the death (within a few years) or they take a huge hit from an income tax standpoint. Also buyers get major tax write-offs to purchase teams. Well given that JR has told the family to sell the Sox and keep the Bulls that is almost a absolute given. They will sell the club ASAP.

August 14, 20187 yr JR doesn't own 100% of both franchises, and does have a background in Law and the IRS. I'm sure he has planned ahead. I doubt his heirs will have to sell to pay a tax bill.

August 14, 20187 yr Soxtalk should band together and do a documentary on the intricacies and history of the Reinsdorf family estate. There's an unbelievable amount of detailed insider knowledge here. We could also generate revenue for the site by offering financial planning services. We'd be foolish to squander this much expertise. Edited August 14, 20187 yr by Eminor3rd

August 14, 20187 yr Buy? JR makes SOOOOOOO much money he would just give it to us. Then we could sign all the FA's and compete, it's that simple.

Let's be real, if there is any villain/KW role to be played, we all know I've got that wrapped up.

I would then write JR another letter requesting to be interviewed for the job of White Sox GM. Being "The Worlds Biggest White Sox Fan" (WBWSF) I would give JR the most unforgettable interview he ever experienced. I'm sure after my interview he would really have no choice but to name me the new White Sox GM. Believe me White Sox baseball would be fun again if I was the GM. I WOULD MAKE THE WHITE SOX GREAT AGAIN!!!! You should read "The secret life of Walter Mitty"
August 14, 20187 yr If we bought the team, do you think Jerry and Kenny would form a message board and criticize us for not spending enough money?
