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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you take 5 championships in 14 seasons? I would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

greg775 Posted December 9, 2023 Share Posted December 9, 2023 Scary thing is the Sox have until about Jan. 10 to drastically change the roster. After that spring training will be just around the corner. I bet the Sox will sell dozens of season tickets the next six weeks or so.

Has no one really showed him a $/WAR curve? 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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).?
