greg775 Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 So Jerry gets all that income as well? There's no reason the Sox aren't huge spenders in this s*** division. Let's face it, there are some Jerry apologists on here. He got us a WS title so I like him for that and all the Bulls titles, but let's face it, he is not a "good" baseball owner. He's just not. I won't go into all the rea$ons but it's my opinion and I'm sticking to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that the Sox are not huge spenders in this division can only mean you haven't paid any attention to the last 10 seasons. I think the frustration is watching the Tigers/Illitch spend so much money on Cabrera/Verlander/Fielder...of course, eventually that will catch up to them, but it might not happen for another 3-5 years. Illitch is an owner that all fans love, in the sense that he's willing to throw money at nearly every problem (except for the bullpen, so far). And it's likely he caught a lucky break with Scherzer turning down that long-term extension. As far as the NAV of Comcast, that's not the same thing as profits, and it's still just money on paper that's more or less illiquid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe him and his wife and child were driving on a country road in the dead of winter in North Dakota and they ran out of gas. He got out of his car to flag down other drivers, and he noticed a windshield scraper lying in the snow near a fence. Went to it, dug up the snow underneath, and found a briefcase full of money.

Marty34 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) Google, Netflix, or Apple bidding on broadcast rights for teams, specifically the Cubs in 2019, would be an interesting twist. Kenny says the Cubs having own channel is possible too. http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/jon-greenb...-business-plans Edited May 10, 2014 by Marty34 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Lopez's Ghost Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I wonder what would happen to the valuation if/when the Cubs leave for their own network. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty34 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 We're lamenting the length of games, but it may make baseball the perfect sport to watch on a mobile device. Say you want to catch 15 minutes of a game or an AB here or there when you don't have the time to watch an entire game. I'd imagine teams will make a killing on these rights in the near future.

Kyyle23 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 The game thread isn't up yet and I guess it applies to CSN, I was looking at my guide to see when the Sox game was on, and the pre-game has a random year applied to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 According to Wikipedia it's 20% NBCUniversal, 20% Ricketts, 20% Wirtz, and 40% Reinsdorf Is it actually 40% Reinsdorf or is it owned in the same ratios as the teams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ May 12, 2014 -> 06:59 AM) Is it actually 40% Reinsdorf or is it owned in the same ratios as the teams? It's definitely 20% Bulls and 20% White Sox. Since Reinsdorf is not the sole owner of the Sox, I don't know if that's Wikipedia being lazy or if he worked out a deal to be the only Sox owner with stake in CSN.

You jump at the chance to mention how expensive everything is at the baseball game nowadays but in the same token, you want the owner to spend more $$ on players. There is quite a disconnect here.
