This is almost laughable.  The Sox have gone from 10s of millions to a couple of billions during the JR time frame.  Pretty sure the Sox market isn't giving that return.

 

Yeah, looking it up the Sox were bought for 20 million and are worth $1.685 billion during that 40 year span.  That is a return of 8425%.  The Dow closed at 948.89 on Jan 29, 1981 the day the Reinsdorf group bought the  White Sox.  Yesteday's close in the Dow wasd 35,768.86, or a return of 3777%, or less than half of the Sox return.

The reason Manfred is using this is because it was in some article a month  or two ago. They didn't bother to check the math. In today's world accuracy doesn't matter.

I'll guess it's a poor proposal and gets rejected honestly.

It will not be "accepted", but it will put the ball back in the PA's court to make their next counterproposal. 

That's exactly how things should work. The owners put something out that gives somewhere, the players put something out that gives somewhere. 

If we could stop with the "Wait 43 days to make an offer" and "remember when we said 2 days ago we'd give another counter offer, oops we won't be doing that, sit on your hands for another week and a half" bullshit, then there might be some actual progress. This was always going to take a lot of back and forth to get done when they started with actual issues they needed to deal with.
