shakes Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 The Tigers are now talking to Pavano. I know it's only talks, but where are they getting there money? http://www.freep.com/sports/tigers/metro2e_20041202.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchetman Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 metro detroit has about 5.5 million people. if the tigers get rolling they could become the dominant team in the AL Central. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
False Alarm Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 also, i'm pretty sure the owner's also the owner of the red wings. since he doesn't need to pour anything into his normal cash cow, he can spend it on reviving the tigers.

False Alarm Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Haha, I know what you're thinking. i don't. it was just off-the-top-of-my-head speculation about why they're buying so many players all of a sudden the last two years. could be that a coupla their ridiculous contracts expired and freed up money too i dunno. could be that domino's breadsticks went thru the roof. the hell do i know? just making conversation. maybe the topic blew up before and i missed it or something; my bad.

No bad on your part. Someone else suggested previously that he use the Wings $$ to pay Tiger's salaries.. which isn't allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Showtime Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 i don't. it was just off-the-top-of-my-head speculation about why they're buying so many players all of a sudden the last two years. could be that a coupla their ridiculous contracts expired and freed up money too i dunno. could be that domino's breadsticks went thru the roof. the hell do i know? just making conversation. maybe the topic blew up before and i missed it or something; my bad. Two things. 1. The owner of the Tigers/Red Wings also owns Little Ceasers, not Dominos. 2. The topic was brought up before, because thought he was taking money out of the hockey team and putting it into baseball. You can't do that.. Point is that Ilitch has lots of money and with the ASG coming to town, he's spending it knowing he'll make it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beast Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Its not who is richer, its who isn't spending money. Thats exactly what that bastard JR won't do, spend money to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's only talks, but where are they getting there money? http://www.freep.com/sports/tigers/metro2e_20041202.htm From having a non-exsistant payroll for the last few years?

knightni Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Maybe if the NBA got locked out again, Reinsdorf would spend his Bulls $$ on the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molto Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 the "owner" of Detroit is, I believe, the second richest baseball owner next to the Twins guy. not sure if that makes the Tigers richer though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnthraxFan93 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Maybe if the NBA got locked out again, Reinsdorf would spend his Bulls $$ on the Sox. Why does there have to be a lock-out not like he is paying anyone on the Bulls! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Why does there have to be a lock-out? It's not like he is paying anyone on the Bulls! They're paying E-Rob $10 million to NOT play on the Bulls. The NBA also has a salary floor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickman Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 seattle mariners are owned by the owner of Nintendo and several Microsoft multimillionaires. They run the team like a business. They are business men like JR and the Detriot guy. Detriot has not spent alot of money the past three seasons. They were rebuilding forming a team in which they can just add some pieces. Now they are doing that. Its a classic approach to how to re-build a team with a core of farm players. Its something we will be trying one day.

Well i do know he is worth 2.1 billion. http://www.forbes.com/finance/lists/54/200...datatype=Person Edit: As of last year he is worth 2.1 and worth 2.2 billion in 2004. George steinbrenner is not on the least from what i can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchman33 Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Our payroll will still be higher than Detroits next year. They're full of minimum contracts and can afford a few bad contracts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
