What are the Sox trying to do here, really?

Like it makes me wonder if the issue is really just JR insisting on surrounding himself exclusively with spineless yes-men, that won’t push back on anything, because it’s not like JR LIKES to waste money. Has no one really showed him a $/WAR curve?

Or Jerry trusts those guys and he doesn't push back. We just know it doesn't work.

Okay? Would you take 5 championships in 14 seasons? I would.

Not arguing the point just clarifying that it wasn't the senior. And the son eventually got into serious trouble with the league and was forced to sell the franchise. I don't remember exactly what he was accused of.

Worst that would've happened is that Reinsdorf would've bought the team then, and at that point, we have 5 championships in 14 years to celebrate.

You think Jerry cares about $/WAR? 

I think he cares about $/TWTW. 

This is the guy that said his favorite player of all time is David Eckstein.

He was also the owner of the San Francisco 49ers during the 1980s and 1990s when they won 5 championships in 14 seasons. I don't care if he was affiliated with the mafia, he knew how to build a winning franchise.

He was a shopping center developer and we could have seen him sell off players to pay the gas bills when all those shopping centers went bad (like most of them have).?
