Yeah, this should be telling to anyone who is trying to sell tickets to a Sox game right now.

Actually...the best question is who would Tray actually approve of as owner if it's not a Reinsdorf?

They would clearly have to announce intentions to remain at 35th & Shields until at least 2100.

 

Voted dramatically better.

Dramatically better.

So far ownership changes haven't brought dramatic changes, so we are over due.

Certainly the FA spending going into the 1983 season was a pretty dramatic change.  But that's over 40 years ago, so...

Perhaps JR could make Ishbar managing partner while protecting his own status until the day comes for an estate sale. Give Ishbar right of first refusal. If a guy leaves a club to family eg spouse or a buyer the league still has to approve them.

It really depends on any new owner's motivation in buying an MLB team. If it is for sporting reasons and they want to bankroll a successful franchise then dramatic improvement could happen. If they are buying it as an 'investment' then moderate improvement will happen as they will want a more successful on field team but won't want to throw massive money at it as the spreadsheet is the bottom line.
