Expand I don't agree with this. If Jerry has a side deal to sell new shares then he needs to make the current group "whole". Telling the current holders to sell at $1.8B valuation isn't doing that, when he's on record that it will be worth twice that much in 2 years. I still think someone was misquoted (Reifort talking out of his ass again) and Ishbia is just buying out all the rest of the investors (maybe including Mellody).

Expand I was not actually making fun of Tray there. I thought the same thing at the beginning of the thread. I generally think it's good news but you're dealing with JR and a guy who just used the Twins to get a good position to own the Sox. Being level headed is prudent.

caulfield12 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 "Reinsdorf has given his blessing to Ishbia’s plan to buy out other minority partners, the New York Times reported Friday, but the team denied that any long-term agreement has been reached to give the brothers a controlling interest. For the Twins, Ishbia’s decision removes one potential bidder from the process, which the Pohlad family, which has owned the Twins since 1984, initiated in October. The franchise is believed to be worth at least $1.5 billion, but no other potential bidders have been publicly identified." startribune.com/sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
