Pretty sure franchise high was somewhere around 7th or 8th in 2006. Padres nipping at their heels despite loss of RSN at $1.750 and 17th. https://www.statista.com/statistics/194606/mlb-franchise-value-of-the-chicago-white-sox-since-2006/ Edited March 23, 20233 yr by caulfield12

March 24, 20233 yr Author Here's where things were more than a decade ago...when the average value was just $472,000,000 per team. More than a 4x increase for the White Sox despite being terrible from 2013-2019. Years of historically low payrolls building up to the "unprecedented financial flexibility" rebuild finishing touches period, lol. Edited March 24, 20233 yr by caulfield12

It's a lot like how the Guardians, Brewers, Twins and Cardinals run their operations...albeit not nearly as efficiently. Of course the Rays are in a completely different universe in terms of battling budgetary constraints.
March 26, 20233 yr If JR had hired talented people instead of toadies, he might have won more. If the Sox had won more the team might be worth more. The cheapskate always loses in the end.

March 27, 20233 yr Author Opening Day power rankings also exactly 15th... https://www.mlb.com/news/opening-day-power-rankings-2023 Guardians 12th, Twins 13th Edited March 27, 20233 yr by caulfield12
March 28, 20233 yr The fact Hawk thinks Jerry isn’t having fun anymore and should sell gives me hope!
March 28, 20233 yr Maybe Hawk should get on the horn with Jerry then, instead of blaming everything on the marketing department.

March 28, 20233 yr Author https://sports.yahoo.com/american-league-power-rankings-astros-214300846.html Well at least Yahoo has us ranked 7th in the AL and ahead of the Twins...but they're high on the Astros and Guardians. I guess 7 x 2=14 (better than 15th) could mean we're "above average" but NL West and NL East would argue otherwise. So average (#12-18) in just about everything but current farm system rankings and projected attendance... Edited March 28, 20233 yr by caulfield12
March 28, 20233 yr Author 12th in payroll at $173.5 million, right behind SFG (flubbed Correa negotiations) and ahead of the Cubs. https://www.spotrac.com/mlb/payroll/ Then Boston, the hapless/directionless Rockies, Next, LEAGUE AVERAGE StL, Minnesota, Seattle, Milwaukee, Detroit Royals and Guardians 24th and 25th in the $75-76 million range. Massive $20 million gap between Rockies at #15 and Cardinals #16, putting league around around the $155 million range. 9 teams well under $100 million...TB incredibly 27th with just $63 million.
