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, 2023 by caulfield12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 24, 2023 Author Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 The fact Hawk thinks Jerry isn’t having fun anymore and should sell gives me hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Maybe Hawk should get on the horn with Jerry then, instead of blaming everything on the marketing department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on things I was told from people inside and outside of the organization Hawk does have a point with marketing / pricing issues.

caulfield12 Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) 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...

caulfield12 Posted March 28, 2023 Author Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) 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.
