Something seems to be terribly wrong with Carlos Correa...that, and they can never keep Royce Lewis/Buxton both 100% healthy and on the field.

I thought that was because Jerry swooped in and offered them a better deal? Edited Tuesday at 09:30 PM by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about him, he is getting all of his sads out with his passive aggressive laugh reacts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tray Posted Tuesday at 09:54 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 09:54 PM 5 hours ago, GreatScott82 said: The most intruiging part about this whole Ishiba thing is the timeline. I'm assuming the Reinsdorf family ensured the Ishiba brothers that they will have first dibs to purchasing the Reinsdorf shares within a specific time frame. Why else would they purchase more shares and leave the Minnesota offer? My question is, what is that specific timeline? We could all speculate because of the age of Jerry, but could it be possible that Jerry is willing to sell his shares while still alive? An option is not a likely reason that Ishbia sought a minority share. Legally, a minority shareholder maintains certain rights, such as the right to examine the financials of the corporation and access to other corporation documents (i.e., meeting minutes from the last few years, copies of leases and contracts, etc.). Those would be critical to Ishbia for whatever his long term strategy might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, definitely not a top MLB player, but he is 89 so he probably wants to make sure he sets up his family and being a businessman, of course he wants to work the deal.

The reporting is that he has had a minority share (~5%) for a number of years, and this just expanded his ownership position. He's not a new owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - wouldn't it suck to have a team incapable of keeping its cornerstone position players healthy and contributing? I can't possibly imagine what that would be like. It must be disappointing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the ingress / egress challenges and lack of parking! Some people may have to take public transportation with all the common folk!! You forgot to mention that the 78 is practically a Superfund site (based on past posts that I've read here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
