Texsox Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 This also highlights the reality of owning a sports team. Your investment isn't dependent so much on the standings. Many of the investors are just looking for an opportunity to increase their net worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

champagne030 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) 5 hours ago, southsider2k5 said: If the article quote about the price of limited share prices doubling in a couple of years is accurate, Jerry’s fiduciary duty is more than covered. I don't agree with this. If Jerry has a side deal to sell new shares then he needs to make the current group "whole". Telling the current holders to sell at $1.8B valuation isn't doing that, when he's on record that it will be worth twice that much in 2 years. I still think someone was misquoted (Reifort talking out of his ass again) and Ishbia is just buying out all the rest of the investors (maybe including Mellody).

The article stated the price doubled since their last offering by JR and the kids. It is also near the full market value for the team, even when including the non-voting consideration.

Perhaps sooner than later even. I said this last year when they announced massive payroll cuts, putting Getz in as GM (which to me seems like a temp move, where a new owner can go in a different direction) and the new stadium, it's obvious that they (the Reinsdorfs) are selling the team Edited February 23 by joejoesox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to say. It’s also a relatively new facility. And if the Sky needed a bigger space, the UC could accommodate summer WNBA games without needing a separate stadium build. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 There must have been a lot of investors telling JR it’s time He’s gone from telling us his son will be forced to sell to out of towners because he owes the investors the best deal,, and that is not in this area, to this.

I was not actually making fun of Tray there. I thought the same thing at the beginning of the thread. I generally think it's good news but you're dealing with JR and a guy who just used the Twins to get a good position to own the Sox. Being level headed is prudent. But sure making fun of people makes you cool and funny I suppose if you're in 3rd grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL. The illusion of stadium leverage...all vestiges are gone. Other than the hope and promise of new higher-spending ownership delivering a better product on the field. Whoever it is...they're going to have to put in at least 50-65% of the money. At least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 "Reinsdorf has given his blessing to Ishbia’s plan to buy out other minority partners, the New York Times reported Friday, but the team denied that any long-term agreement has been reached to give the brothers a controlling interest. For the Twins, Ishbia’s decision removes one potential bidder from the process, which the Pohlad family, which has owned the Twins since 1984, initiated in October. The franchise is believed to be worth at least $1.5 billion, but no other potential bidders have been publicly identified." startribune.com/sports Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
