I'm not saying he knows nothing, but he's been wrong plenty of times before... like when he said hiring Getz wasn't happening and didn't make sense.

Soon doesn’t necessarily mean “real” soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should renew the sweetheart deal to stay at 35th and Shields, with the caveat / benefit to the state that they can sell off / develop some of the parking lots for development.

Like I have been saying for months, the most likely scenario is clear. Jerry does the s%*# kicking, Ishbia keeps clean, win/win.

southsider2k5 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 12 minutes ago, PaleAleSox said: Can they start spending some form of money soon, at least? I doubt they do anything until three big things happen. - They get a TV contract in place. This is probably a 50/60 million dollar revenue hole from last year, which still isn't counting attendance, other advertising, merchandise, parking, and everything else that has plummeted by huge numbers. Last year was their worse season since their 2nd to last year in old Comiskey. This year is 8% worse PLUS the non-existent TV money. -They have time to make up some of the recent missing revenue from said contract, plus the years of straight listed losses. -They have a team worth adding to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 7 minutes ago, caulfield12 said: Uh oh...here we go again. Maybe someone should interview Ishbia on this topic? Why? Ishbia has no power to prevent the WSox and ISFA from signing a long term Lease at 35th street that would allow the Sox to remain at Rate field for a decade or more, and, if they can obtaining financing or public funding, build a new stadium and sell excess land to private developers. That would be a win-win for the Sox and IL taxpayers and any future owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
