Texsox Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also noticed there are a few TLR types as advisors. Plus some titles I didn't expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a graphic shown last year (if someone finds it, that would be great) that showed how many employees were in each analytics department and sales teams. Teams like the Astros, Dodgers, Rays, Cubs, Yankees(?) were significantly higher in analytics than the White Sox. It was an embarrassingly low number in comparison. It was the opposite for the sales team: Sox were significantly higher than those other teams. The Rays literally have a blueprint for how to spend cheaply on players and be successful and Jerry's like "Nah, I'm good."

Texsox Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 2 hours ago, TaylorStSox said: It's a $2B business. 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.
