It would be interesting to know, who owns the land the park sits on along with the surrounding lots. Did Reinsforf sell it to the state in exchange to having the stadium built in the late 80s? Or did Reinsforf lease it to the state? Keep in mind, Reinsdorf is a Real Estate guru, wouldn't put it past him to even have suckered the state to building the stadium on his land.

I honestly don't think this was even a discussion when the team was riding as high as it was, even after the bounce out from the Astros. Probably the only discussion was doing something similar to what the Bulls did with passing the team control to JR's son or someone close to the board. I think the two leading factors here are: a) the complete implosion of the Roster b) Steve Cohen

I think Reinsdorf and Co might own the lots where the old ballpark stood, along with any parking lots from the old ballpark.

What's crazy, NONE of this is being discussed right now if Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez, Tim Anderson, Yazmani Grandal, Andrew Vaughn, Rick Hahn would not have sucked at their jobs as they have the last 2 years. That's what's crazy here. This complete implosion of the "Core" Rick Hahn built has basically turned the franchise upside down to the point of Ownership now trying to get out / relocate. When the Sox rebuild started, their trajectory was put side by side as those of the Braves and Rays. You can't tell me this ownership would be looking to getting out if we'd be performing like those teams right now.

Cease pitching his way to having to fire Scott Borass.

Charlie Blackmon is so gonna be a White Sox next year.

Jason almost talking to himself exclusively, hope Steve is doing OK.

LOL, this clown thinks it's still April.

Jose Rondon with the .818 OPS, shocked Hahn did not extend him w/ a 10 year deal after that performance.

Another 10+ runs to a bad Rockies team. The more embarrassments the better. Doubt it changes anything, but the opposite would give Hahn a crutch to stand on at the end.

Robert is flirting with a 40/80 season. 40 HRs and 80 RBIs. Would be by far the lowest ever for a 40 HR season ( i believe Bonds had a 40/90). Speaks about the ineptitude surrounding him on this lineup.

Luis Robert HR and another White Sox loss. Yes, more of this please. All the way to the end.

The epic failure of the Chris Sale trade is the #1 reason the rebuild went to s%*#.

Soldier Field for The Sox, with that downtown backdrop. Yes, it be a nightmare trying to get to 81 games there, but who cares.

Could say the same about TA and Moncada. I have no idea how these guys can't get the ball out of the park anymore.

Well, "the money ended up getting spent." Unfortunately it was spent on a complete pile of s%*#.

People continue to make the argument that attendance doesn't matter, completely false. It's not just about $$$ in ticket sales, bad attendance creates a domino effect in a lot of other revenue sources. Empty stadiums are a marketing nightmare. A team cannot solely operate on TV revenue and revenue sharing. You have to still be a marketable product.

"The money will be spent"

I think you're probably in the right direction, dead weight for dead weight. Although Perez is tied up for 3 more years, therefore a lot more money would need to be coming back our way. It's just a bad situation every season it feels, we're always carrying a guy on our roster who is too expenses to cut lose (for this owner) and then we have to carry him into June / July.

Reinsdorf is a pro-labor guy. He won't send you home without getting at least half a year of service.

The Moncada situation for next season is getting close to having to unload him for another team's bad contract. He's that bad (or physically broken)

Other than Hahn, all other teams understand not to invest heavy $$$ on the bullpen. Plug and play, they don't work, discard and try the next man. Bullpens are a crapshoot.

Well, it has allowed him to pitch through 7 BB games. So yes, only when you have elite stuff can you get away with that.

I guess Steve Stone agrees with me, Dylan Cease still has elite stuff. But what does he know about pitching.

If anything, let's home these last 2 months make something out of Andrew Vaughn. The Sox badly need for him to be force in this line-up.
