June 26, 20241 yr https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/team/front-office I was looking at the Board of Directors and seeing if any of them would be likely successors if JR ever retired and started scrolling. That's a big payroll.

June 26, 20241 yr TLR is "Special Advisor to the Executive Vice President" but they no longer have an Executive Vice President.

There was a graphic shown last year (if someone finds it, that would be great) that showed how many employees were in each analytics department and sales teams. Teams like the Astros, Dodgers, Rays, Cubs, Yankees(?) were significantly higher in analytics than the White Sox. It was an embarrassingly low number in comparison. It was the opposite for the sales team: Sox were significantly higher than those other teams. The Rays literally have a blueprint for how to spend cheaply on players and be successful and Jerry's like "Nah, I'm good." Edited June 26, 20241 yr by Bob Sacamano

I got an email from them today trying to get me to buy tickets. It did not work. Stopped reading and deleted it as soon as I realized what it was.

Their most junior "employees" are guaranteed $750,000 per year and they spend millions on others. While the people who technically are senior to them make way less. And most of those sales people I'm guessing are calling on corporate sponsors and companies to cross promote. The lack of corporation headquarters is a reason that San Antonio isn't as attractive of a market despite being such a huge population center.

June 27, 20241 yr I do feel like someone, at some point, said that we have more than are listed publicly in some of these departments.

This is the kind of stuff that you would think a businessman (who is trying to squeeze as much water from this stone as possible ) would notice and be rather bothered by
