southsider2k5 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Are these Forbes #'s or MLB's numbers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI1020 Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 Baseball in Florida has been a smashing success. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted July 23, 2003 Share Posted July 23, 2003 If Forbes numbers show a profit, then I'm guessing the real profit is a bit more then that. Probably around 4 mill or so. I won't gripe though, I want JR to make money, but I want him to do it because the Cell is sold out game after game with the Sox as a freaking dynasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDF Posted July 24, 2003 Author Share Posted July 24, 2003 what get me is if the sox were barely making a profit, think about the extra money spent on the likes of clayton, the slug we got for well and fogg. how much did that cost the team?
