Sleepy Harold Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) Quote Longtime majority owner Jerry Reinsdorf is open to selling the Chicago White Sox, sources briefed on the matter but not authorized to discuss it publicly told The Athletic, and the 88-year-old Reinsdorf is in active discussions with a group led by former big leaguer Dave Stewart.

Dick Allen Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Dave Stewart is the guy leading the charge on an expansion team in Nashville. To me, this is a plant to try to force public opinion and politicians. Call his bluff. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buehrle>Wood Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) Reinsdorf found the one person on Earth who'd be a worse owner than himself. Interesting. Edited October 16 by Buehrle>Wood 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be good: The Dodgers are a group-owned organization and they drastically turned things around post-McCourts. It's just that Dave Stewart would be catastrophic.

fathom Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 There’s never been a doubt in my mind Jerry would force a sell of the Sox to someone who will own a team like he thinks they should be. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 (edited) Tony Larussa is the glue for this. The same Dave Stewart that allowed TLR to hire a vet to be their analytics guy and traded Shelby Miller for Dansby Swanson? That guy. Stewart would move this franchise to Nashville in a heartbeat. Tony is basically Thanos. Edited October 16 by southsideirish71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This group also tried buying the Rays and Marlins. They failed both times because they don't have the money and no billionaire backer. Almost seems like a scam, but one Jerry can use for leverage I guess. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This 1000 percent will be the case. I guess in this situation if they were to truly move to Nashville under the exact same type of owner as Jerry I would be okay with it if someone with a fresh idea to spend money started a new franchise here. The whole Dave Stewart / TLR conneftion has me wanting to puke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 To really dump my raw thoughts: It'd be so fucking Reinsdorfian to f*** over fans in a city that has given him everything: He paid a pittance for the Sox and Bulls and got 7 rings, a stadium, and 2 billion dollar franchises. In return he broke up a the 90s Bulls and has strung along two fanbases cause he doesn't want to invest and cause computers are hard. And all because Hawk had to have the worst single fucking season by a GM in the history of baseball when you consider the ramifications, fans have to deal with Reinsdorf blowing up the latest rebuild by hiring TLR, then hiring Getz on TLR's recommendation and now, if they sell to Stewart, it'll surely be with TLR's blessing. f*** Jerry and f*** TLR. 3 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sucks all around I definitely could not have a rooting interest in a baseball organization outside of Chicago. The only hopes for me staying a baseball fan would be if they brought in a 2nd franchise. Just couldn’t take the son to Wrigley and surely wouldn’t make a drive to Nashville to see this team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
