He is a graduate of Vanderbilt University and sits on its board. There has been no talk of a stadium situation in a while. I think this deal was done to facilitate a move. Their business is headquartered in Chicago, and the purchasing brother is building a nine figure house in the burbs. Just because we haven't heard of talk, doesn't mean their hasn't been something happening behind the scenes. That is typically how this is done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are the Sox still viable as a franchise with three more sub .500 records and still stuck in GRF? I guess they could still sink to 28th-30th in attendance...although Minnesota might pass them on their descent downwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Again MLB wants the money expansion teams would bring, possibly two billion dollars according to Sports Illustrated as opposed to moving any clubs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two billion per team. That’s 4 billion dollars split 30 ways, or about 133 million per owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it would be the ultimate Jerry move - a final middle finger to the fans. Ishbia's intentions are a total mystery since he hasn't said a single word publicly about his plans for the Sox. After spending over $1B in public money on a new Titans stadium, I don't know if they've going to spend another $1B on a MLB stadium. But they might be willing to spend some public money toward a stadium. Here in Chicago, I'm not sure they'd even spend on infrastructure for a new stadium. There's definitely an enthusiasm problem for keeping the Sox here. Heck, even some die-hard Sox fans seem to be ready to show the team the door out of state!

It'll be very interesting to see what happens as we approach 2029 with both the stadium lease expiring and the window for selling to Ishbia opens. Something has to change. For those who say "just win!" - how is that working out for the Brewers, Phillies, Mets, Padres and other teams who are trying to win? The Sox will at least always be ahead of the Marlins in attendance. The Rays and A's might see a huge boost as they move into new, state-of-the art stadiums. With the Rogers Centre being in the spotlight the last few weeks during the playoffs, it's interesting to see how much they've improved the place. There's some good YouTube videos about their massive renovations. I don't think it'll be ranked down around the same level as Rate Field in MLB stadium surveys anymore.

The White Sox just set a major league record for the worst season in the 125 year history of major league baseball, and the 2nd worst ever for 2 and 3 seasons combined. Give me trying and failing over not caring at all. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be working out very well for the teams you mentioned. Milwaukee, Philadelphia and San Diego gets lots of attendance, makes the playoffs on a regular basis and is putting themselves to get a lot of marketing and advertising chances. And the Mets while not making the post season regularly are still packing them in. Would love for the Sox to be in that position instead of a doormat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted Wednesday at 01:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:48 PM In public funded stadium news San Antonio voters approved money for a new Spurs Stadium. That will mean San Antonio will have three stadiums in current operation that have all hosted NBA games and meet current NBA standards. We would easily approve a NFL training facility or a MLB stadium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they want a downtown stadium with an entertainment district. I don't know about SA/Austin, but I could see MLB putting the 2 expansion franchise in Salt Lake City AND Portland. I believe they have said they want 1 team in the east and one in the west, but Utah and Oregon are committing $900M and $800M in public funding for a new baseball stadium. Unless Nashville (or any other city in the east) is going to cough up a similar amount of money for a stadium, I don't think MLB is treating them as a shoe-in for a team by any means.
