February 15, 20197 yr Well, wonder what we’ll hear today. Phillies rumors? Yankees back in it? Wonder whose brother’s ex-girlfriend’s former dog sitter finds out today.

February 15, 20197 yr Just listen to the contrition in his tone. To be fair, at least he's saying "if" now. Jeez, what an ass this guy is ...
February 15, 20197 yr 7 hours ago, Look at Ray Ray Run said: Pal, you are losing your mind. How are they in the bottom five? Padres Twins A's Rays Marlins Reds Royals There are more, imo, but you can't argue that any of those teams are better for a player to go to. Definitely bottom 5? Pirates Tigers (post free spending Ilitch) Jays are arguable...depends on vlad jr. and bichette
February 15, 20197 yr Well this thread took and interesting tin-foil hat turn last night...maybe a real rumor will be the cure to this lunacy.

The vast majority of the employees have no bearing on the wins and loses and don't have 6 or 7 figure jobs.

I will agree that the person operating the scoreboard has had very little to do with this franchise having the worst record in baseball over the last 6 years so there's probably very little reason to judge that person's work based on the team's performance.
February 15, 20197 yr 7 hours ago, Jack Parkman said: All bigger markets than the Sox. We don't know the numbers for sure, but I believe their market to be 25-30% of greater Chicago, which would put them in the bottom 5 in baseball, smaller than the Twins and slightly larger than the Royals. Math: 30% of Chicago metro is 2.85M. KC metro is 2.1, Twin Cities is 3.2, Cleveland is 2.1. Cincinnati is 2.1 by itself, if you include Louisville add around 900k. So if a player signs with the Sox, do they only get to enjoy the Southside and south suburbs? Do they not get to hang out downtown, River West, or up north? Do they not get the marketing opportunities Chicago offers? Do they not get that world class city feel? Can they not go to North Avenue Beach and enjoy the sun and women? Will they not get covered by the Tribune and Sun Times? Will they not get talked about on 670 or ESPN 1000? Lastly, do these players interact with every fan in the market? Or is it just the 35k fans at the game and the individuals they meet in public? Edited February 15, 20197 yr by SonofaRoache

Or 8 figure... Also the ownership stakes for NBC Universal weren't announced, but hard to believe it would be anything but 25% across the board to all four entities. 50% White Sox/Bulls, but not controlling interest to make decisions that aren't beneficial to the Hawks or corporate parent.

Along with the tickets reps, administrative assistants, ground crew, among others, except the department heads they probably make 6 figures. Loyal employers generally create a great working environment. Do you think changing mangers and front office people on a regular basis will lead to a successful team? Look at the successful teams in any professional sports and they typically have continuity in management. Edited February 15, 20197 yr by ptatc

I was mostly kidding with my initial comment though, it's attainable. 2.5 to 3 million is the goal.
