caulfield12 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) The AL Central sucks. Cleveland and Minnesota fans absolutely detest their owners...Indians’ fans have now gone through four rebuilds since the late 90s. Minnesota can’t even win a single playoff game, but no spending other than an aging Donaldson. The Ilitch kids in Detroit are the polar opposites of their dad in terms of doing whatever it takes to field a World Series contender. The Royals were villains with penny pinching David Glass of Wal-Mart fame but at least have John Sherman now. They’re the only team with fans currently at least neutral.

maloney.adam Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) All we hear are excuses after excuses on why they can’t afford premium players and now they can’t even acquire depth to finish the team. The Sox have thrown out crappy teams on the field during the rebuilding years and obviously saved a boatload of money to invest in these types of players but they are still coming up with excuses on why they can’t afford these types of players. The team needs to be sold to someone who actually cares about investing in players that will put this team over the top. Enough of the excuses already!

smellysox Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 (edited) I thought somebody wrote an article about this very subject of who's in charge or what happens to the whitesox when Jerry steps down, leaves, or passes. If I remember correctly They're not really sure what would happen. If there would be a new chairman of the board - from someone already serving on the board? Or a new invester buying in? I guess it's a complicated structure that has been kept from the public eyes. Edit: I guess he strongly urges to sell the team in his will. According to the Chicago Tribune article. Although in that same article one of his sons wasn't sure if he would sell Edited January 28, 2021 by smellysox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagahRagah Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 2 hours ago, fathom said: Twins thought they had enough offense going into 2020 and some regression and injuries happened and bang, their offense struggled and they couldn’t score in the postseason. If they start the season with Leury in the lineup and Lopez as 5th starter, then they failed this offseason. It's really weird. Seems like just yesterday I got lambasted for being "too negative." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a false claim that a high contract will never be paid here to try to make yourself right when you aren't. Highly unlikely doesn't mean it can't happen, and until it does or doesn't you need to stop being such a dick. I'm not really getting personal. You don't listen and you're being an asshole. That's just a fact. I don't have a problem with you thinking the Sox won't sign a big one because that's what I myself have been pushing hard lately. But I'm not trying to claim it can never happen or acting like a dick to people for holding out hope. Sorry you can't see the difference. On 12/6/2020 at 1:10 PM, RagahRagah said: You keep making these absurd assumptions that I keep invalidating and yet you continue to make them. But I'm going to be smart and wait until it doesn't happen rather than make assumptions and lose some of my dignity. I can see why your rep is what it is now.
