Reinsdorf led a group that bought the Chicago White Sox baseball team in 1981 for $19 million. He still owns an estimated 19% stake.
White Sox 2020 Team Value $1.9 BILLION. (Jerry’s share $361 Mil)
Jerry and investors bought a controlling stake in the NBA’s Chicago Bulls for $9.2 million in 1985; one year after the team drafted Michael Jordan.
The Bulls are now worth $2..5 BILLION.; Reinsdorf still owns an estimated 40%.
(Jerry’s share $ 1 Billion)
Nicky Delmonaco, Ross Detwiler. Cheslor Cuthbert, Gio Gonzalez, REALLY?
What’s next…resign Mark Buehrle ?
Hey Jerry, you can’t take that cash with you, and you are almost ready to go.
SPEND some money. WE are sick of this.
Chicago fans suffer via your Bulls, the last place Hawks, Bears (Another disaster) and even the North side idiots.
We deserve a break or you deserve a fan boycott at the gate and on your new Cable channel.

FELONY FRAUD!!

I thought it was the Cubs who had their own new network. In any case, you seem to be quite good at spending Mr. Reinsdorf’s money. I wonder, though, why you don’t chide the other owners of 60% of the club, presuming your description of percentages owned is accurate. Finally, suppose the coffers are opened: who would want to sign and for how much money?
realsox
I see I made a mistake. You say JR owns 19%, not 40%. That means there are even more Sox owners to call on for the money to satisfy your craving.

I would ask Jerry to pay for a proof reader for trolls

Couldn’t have said it any better myself.
It might also be of interest to note that the group led by Jerry Reinsdorf purchased the Bulls from the ownership group that included one George Steinbrenner. I wonder what pact was made between those two in exchange for the Bulls acquisition. The White Sox have largely been irrelevant since Jerry bought the team. Plus, Jerry has been a staunch ally against the MLBPA. Conspiracy theorist could go wild with that.

Kepler for Snell? How the eff does something like this even become a logical thought in the brain, let alone something to ask in a chat?

They do not care to look at the needs of both sides. There are homers everywhere.

Pretty much a throw it up there and see if it sticks question. Got an easy answer. I haven’t had a question answered in over a year.

Fans are dumb.
