Cutting 75% of employees is LESS than they were reported to be (planning on dumping after the season)...at least what was reported around the time of the Hahn/KW departures...

NO!!MARY!!! Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 On 11/6/2023 at 8:28 PM, Lip Man 1 said: It was Einhorn's attitude and marketing 'philosophy' that helped put the Sox in the situation they are in today. That's why I mention it. Despite he and JR both living and working in Chicago since the late 1950's, EE had this insane idea that when the Sox were out of town their fans would root for the Cubs and when the Cubs were out of town their fans would root for and attend Sox games. "We're Chicago's American League team..." (direct quote) 🤡 Total insanity and stupidity from someone who absolutely should have known better. Maybe if he decided to take the Cubs on front and center instead of bitching about the "unfair advantage" they had because they were owned by the Tribune who also owned WGN he wouldn't have had to threaten to move them to Florida. There was a big story in the paper about how after the Sox lost the 83 playoffs Einhorn stormed out of the press box, when that was reported the next day in the Tribune under the headline, "Griping Sox Owner..." he went off saying there should be an "investigation" about the "insidious" influence the Tribune and WGN were having on things. Instead of bitching and moaning Eddie, why not do something about it? Especially when in 83 the Sox had an opportunity (much like after 2005) to change the dynamic and they pissed away both chances. And he had every right to be pissed off at that article. It was a blatant hit piece written by Tribune Cubbie fan/Sox hatchet man Paul Sullivan.

And this is why we can’t have nice things. PS - Jose’s I’m signing myself $50M 3 year deal (2000-2022) should have been included.

He and his family were going to Sox games as far back as the 1970's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just FA? Luis Robert? Buehrle? Ordonez? Also, funny how undervalued Thomas and Ventura were during their time relative to today's salaries...
