Read the press release again (paragraphs 2 and 3). https://www.mlb.com/amp/press-release/press-release-white-sox-announce-long-term-ownership-investment-agreement.html Let’s actually be upset at the future owner of the White Sox for not spending money on the team when he is actually officially the owner. Meanwhile, Jerry hasn’t spent money on the team for years and yet you always seem to defend him.

Strange… Not to mention it is quite literally in there that he is paying off Jerry's debts, and that is what is spending his money on. That and (not listed) most likely a stadium. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, Jerry hasn’t spent money on the team for years and yet you always seem to defend him. Strange… Strange? That's some real bulshit. My ONLY concern about overblown allegations of Reinsdorf being "cheap" has been because the continued use of that specific term implies something quite ugly to certain people. The fact is that JR, like any Owner, relies on many people in order to make decisions on acquiring expensive players. He has learned, as have other owners, that spending on player contracts does not always guarantee a championship. Maybe stick to cooking hotdogs for the family. That you are good at my friend.

tray Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) Read the press release over and again, and then scratch your head. The Ishbia option makes little sense for Sox fans, investors, the ISFA, and the media....way too much uncertainty (see link below) Ishbia/Reinsdorf can take that uncertainty out with a sale this year. One idea might be for Ishbia to outright purchase the franchise for a few Billion and give Reinsdorf what he stated he wants - the right to remain as Chairman of the Board ... for perhaps 3 years , NOT for as long as he is alive. That's bulshit. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jessesilvertown/2025/06/09/chicago-white-sox-transaction-is-a-dispute-in-waiting/ Edited July 25 by tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants the team to transfer when he dies. Hence this structure. The whole world can see it. The only uncertainty is when Jerry is going to die.

Are you inferring that Jerry is cheap? Stop being racist please. Per Tray, that’s the only deduction that can be made if you question Jerry’s willingness to spend money.

WhiteSox2023 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 (edited) 14 hours ago, southsider2k5 said: Wait? Is this true? If so, there are some posts that just got a lot more ironic. Yes, it is true per both Ishbia brothers’ Wikipedia pages. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mat_Ishbia Quote Ishbia was raised in a Jewish family in Birmingham, Michigan. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Ishbia Quote Ishbia was raised in a Jewish family in Birmingham, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. Which is definitely ironic because we can now make the accusation that Tray is an anti-semite based on his own comments on the matter. Ishbia won’t spend money on the Sox because he is apparently cheap per Tray, which also illicits the same ugly connotation as those he says rip Jerry for the exact same thing. Once again, all Tray’s words. Does anyone stick their own damn foot in their mouth more than Tray? Edited July 27 by WhiteSox2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
