Brooks Boyer. Either ESPN or the Score would have him on all the time time extolling his marketing virtues for all the gimmicky things he did to successfully get fans in to watch bad Sox teams. |

Everyone's been working hard to bury McDonough as a micromanaging tyrant who makes people live in constant fear, the strong implication being that he is a relic of a bygone era when today's management figures deploy a much softer touch. He'll never work for anyone again, good thing he made a ton of money. |

Isn't Rocky Wirtz buying the Sox sometime in the not too distant future? |

Reinsdorf supposedly told his sons to sell the team when he dies, so I think we're going to find out over the next 10 years. I know some on here, like America/Antarctica, are adamant that MLB does not want teams relocated, but if somebody from Chicago doesn't buy them, I think there is at least a reasonable probability that they will be moved. |

They are a founding member of the American League. What market had a baseball tradition and a population to match what the Sox have here? I mean, look how the St. Petersburg market has worked out for MLB. To me, with sports gambling coming in Vegas is not nearly as attractive. What other markets would work? Maybe Nashville, but there is no MLB guarantee it catches on the south. It's not like Florida or Atlanta are great baseball markets now. |

What percent of the Sox does Jerry actually own? |

JR was saved from himself from being viewed as similar to Lurie. He would have moved a profitable franchise from its historic roots, then, once he had bilked the people of St. Pete's out of their money and found the location was not profitable, he would have been looking to move again. JR's image has really been saved by his Bulls success. He spent his first couple of decades of Sox ownership earning the way he was being stereotyped. |
