chitownsportsfan Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 57 minutes ago, BrittBurnsFan said: It is intriguing...but does JR have nearly the sway/power he had in the 90s among the owners? I am guessing not even close to it! Does he even have the energy to take that battle on? We all know he is a union-buster...but I just can't believe the ownership groups in MLB pay much attention to JR these days. No, not even close. As @ptatc said JR had very little if any influence during the last labor dispute. Furthermore, owners like Cohen have entered the game lately that flat out do not agree with the old school "fiscal discipline" (whatever that means) message that JR is always spouting. The game has changed with more ways to spend productively as well: international area operations in LA and Asia, signing ready made regulars and stars from Korea and Japan, big analytics departments and "sports science" operations. A lot of teams want to spend money to make money, or if not make money, at least field a competitive team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBWSF Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I've read where something major will happen this Friday the 28th. I don't know how true it is but I can't help but wonder when this whole situation will be determined. I think that most White Sox fans want JR to sell the team. I'm hoping this is done sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is speculation that there will be news that day/around that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 He also cut the price of hot dogs, soda and popcorn to $2 with the Suns, so if you take your kid to the game and they get hungry, you don't need your banker to tag along. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrittBurnsFan Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 1 hour ago, Quin said: The line in the article is that JR basically gets to play the bad guy. But in what context? If the other owners don't like/respect the ideas of JR...they won't care one bit what he wants or how he wants things done in terms of a CBA. The owners don't need a "bad" guy...this is an entirely different era than the early 90s. Now if the "bad" guy means tough decisions for the White Sox? Well...he already is that! LOL...
