I'd hire him in a heartbeat. I wouldn't be playing for the Sox, Boras' players tend to go to teams like the Mets, Dodgers, Astros, etc.

Wow, our manager got ejected, I'm going to play better starting right now!

I didn't know Scott spoke Korean.

We'll eventually sign those guys at the end of their careers.

I'm more interested in how fast they could be in Chicago.

It's how I got through Grad School.

I think a shorter way to look at it is in baseball there are fewer movements and fewer skillful opportunities necessary to be successful. If any of those are diminished your value drops precipitously.

Obviously to be competitive baseball players have to be in prime condition. Hockey is so easy you can play hurt kind of like pickleball. /Sarcasm

Duh. It increases his trade value

I'm really happy to hear how well life is going for you.

And that's what I'm alluding to. There are several ways of defining healthy. The absence of disease is the old school definition. Now we look at vitality, fitness, mental, and emotional health. I could see at some point him taking the Chairman Emeritus route and being more ceremonial. I think semi-retirement is more likely than selling. That could be a step in the right direction.

Great point and after I looked at the list it made sense. They also have a really odd payroll. Their most junior "employees" are guaranteed $750,000 per year and they spend millions on others. While the people who technically are senior to them make way less. And most of those sales people I'm guessing are calling on corporate sponsors and companies to cross promote. The lack of corporation headquarters is a reason that San Antonio isn't as attractive of a market despite being such a huge population center.

Bannister is doing the same for pitching.

So retirement isn't an option? Doesn't that really depend on how long he lives and his medical condition?

But will he retire?

Actually I think if they are winning the sales department would increase to handle the additional interest and maximize profits.

I should say, that's more management than I expected. I also noticed there are a few TLR types as advisors. Plus some titles I didn't expect.

https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/team/front-office I was looking at the Board of Directors and seeing if any of them would be likely successors if JR ever retired and started scrolling. That's a big payroll.

Which is more likely? JR retires and sells his shares Or JR retires and keeps his shares?

POTY

Sometimes you have to cheer for the lion.

**Just discussing the concept, not TLR specifically** Baseball moves slower than any other sport. The manager is not really calling plays or making substitutions in and out. Also, if being out of the game causes it to pass you by the following would be true. No one here really knows anything about the game because they were never in. Plus, ten years from now, you'll really know nothing. I'm not certain that's true.

I was not a fan of the move. It seemed less about baseball and more about egos.

Which is why so many Sox fans want Ozzie back. Alcohol? Check. Hasn't managed in years? Check. Old prick? Check. It will work the second time! Lol
