Jerry Reinsdorf gives an interview where he says he recommends his kids sell the interest in the Sox "down the road".
Well, if I am a child of Jerry Reinsdorf, I think I would realize that Dad is one of the best deal cutters in the history of this town.
I highly doubt that I would wait until Dad has passed on to sell the team. I would assume Dad could line up potential buyers.

I think Reinsdorf in reality has placed the FOR SALE sign out at 35th Street.

Fact is, they dont make much cash flow for Jerry....or the State of Illinois...and they are quite a pain in the ass to run.

Add that to the fact his stake in the Sox is worth another $50 to $100 mill, I think thats why he said it.

However, I don't think he would ever put the sign out for sale, but more than ready to listen to offers.

The Bulls, not for sale, pretty much ever.

Also, his kids dont need the money.

If I was investor, I would be wondering why JR would think I would want his kids to be managing the asset I bought into with their father as the manager.

He probably just sees what is going on with the Yankees. The kids don't have the same passion for the game as their dad. There are better ways to make more money when you are rich than owning a sports team. Most owners buy teams to be celebrities these days.

Not sure how it works but isn't there a tax reason to give this to your kids either before or after?

Bulls are just easy to manage, lotsa cash to do as needed, own a great building, which spits off more cash, MR has been acting as the Alternate President and going to NBA meetings for close to 10 years now, you have a GM , have a President in place, etc. So the Bulls are a dont screw it up job.

With regards to the Sox, it's a pain in the ass and I would tell you the investors would love to have JR's kids run it one day, because it will not be easy to find someone they will approve.

That wouldn't happen if Jerry was broke.

JR should invite Ozzie Guillen to throw out a ceremonial first pitch this weekend with the Marlins in town.

He is looking at it from a purely investor perspective. He bought stock that went up like 10,000%, it may go higher, however there are some things on the horizon that may very well devalue the stock (stadium deal in 2029 and half a decade trend of declining attendance). Sell, take your money and still remain in the public eye with the Bulls if you want.

I have this funny feeling if JR bought Comiskular, you would see more concerts, football games, soccer games, etc.
