September 21, 20214 yr I read where some unknown person has bought 30% of the White Sox for some "insane " amount of money. The SCORE talked about it earlier this morning. I wonder who it is and when will the details be announced.

September 21, 20214 yr it's actually 19:50 it starts...and they mention billionaire with "ties to star wars"...who the heck would that be... EDIT. Welcome to your new owner: Mellody Hobson is the co-CEO and president of Ariel Investments, a Chicago-based firm with $12 billion in assets. She is married to George Lucas. She is the chair of Dreamworks. Holy crap...this. is. happening. Edited September 21, 20214 yr by EloyJenkins
September 21, 20214 yr Isn't it a bit sketchy that a 30% purchase of an MLB team is unreported in the media, don't the owners have to vote on these things
September 21, 20214 yr This has been rumored for several months now and *supposedly* there is a tie-in to Lucas' wife via an interest in Ariel Investments. Additionally, JR's two sons have been reported to be seeking an independent piece of the Sox pie. The latter has some credence as JR has addressed the point. The separate Lucas/Ariel tie-in is a rumor that has yet to be verified.

September 21, 20214 yr well, not that there was any real threat, but I would feel good that an ownership group with Hobson would not move the sox.

I doubt that the White Sox would ever move. Where would they move to? The franchise is making money, big time. They would never make as much money or more money by moving the team. I thought the Indians/Guardians were going to move out of Cleveland and they just resigned to stay in Cleveland for another 30 years.
