I just don't know if MLB will allow this to happen. Trust me I want it to happen by all means. But at the end of the day, MLB has the last say on who are the new owners. Reggie Jackson tried buying the A's and MLB sold the team to John Fisher instead.
Enough of Nashville, no ballpark, no location, no financing or a plan for one, when the Expos moved to Washington in 2005, there was a park ready to go
I'm a sox fan who does NOT want to see them move, but the move wouldn't be immediate. In this scenario, the team would be bought, would continue to be in chicago while negotiations for a ballpark happened. would take years and may even fall through, but it's not out of the question. personally I wish Bo Jackson had the cash...
As a lifelong White Sox fan now living in San Mateo, I hope the team is sold and kept in Chicago. If that doesn't happen, then I'd be ok with them coming to Oakland. No way on Nashville.
It's worth noting (in case there's any confusion) that if the White Sox would move to the proposed 78 Development site, it's only 2.2 miles north of Guaranteed Rate Field and is still in the south side of Chicago.
@@mariopalos9238 I didn't know about any disputes. I was simply adding some additional clarity to anyone watching or reading, in case there was any uncertainty.
The White Sox belong in Chicago like the Bears do. I used to watch the White Sox and Cubs on WGN before end of 2014. Hawk and Steve Stone; before that, Hawk and Wimpy
No tf they don’t. They’ve always been a 2nd team to us in Chicago and last season proves there nothing but BUMS!! Couldn’t have happened to a better organization, hope to see you guys leave!!!
@@carrerakiidthe Chicago metro area is still big enough to support two teams. They’ve been awful lately so it feels like the white Sox have very few fans, but they have a bigger fan base than most of the small market teams
Reinhorn is the reason the Cubs draw and the Blaggard Sox don't. After his group (Reinsdorf-Einhorn et al) bought the team, they took White Sox games off free TV and created a pay TV channel, thereby alienating a whole generation of baseball fans. This left the Cubbies as the only baseball team one could watch on TV in Chicago. As an owner, in my opinion, Reinsdorf is an A1 prime jerk ...
Tried-and-true tactics: TANK the entire season and then THREATEN to sell the team in order to move it. Why do owners try this? Because it works. This is familiar territory for Cincinnati Bengals fans.
I really want Nashville to land a team and I know Dave Stewart has a group that wants to bring a team to Music City and I really hope he gets it whether it's by expansion or relocation
"What an honor it would be to break that barrier." It isn't really a barrier nowadays like it might have been at one time. Nowadays, it's more of a milestone than anything else.
The Stew group can buy the White Sox, move them to Oakland and change their name to the Green Sox!!!😂😂😂 Just kidding. After what we've gone through, I don't want any teams to leave their cities going forward. Especially a historic franchise like the White Sox. I hope it all works out for Chicago.
I’m a White Sox fan, I appreciate you saying that. Being a White Sox fan is an important part of who I am. And I can only imagine what you guys in Oakland are feeling right now.
@Mr.E723 Carlton Fisk is the reason I wanted to play baseball and grew up a Sox fan on the NW side of the city. Jerry is a bum and wanted to move this damn team once. I'm not shocked by this possibly to Trashville now.
Most recently visited Guaranteed Rate Field when the A's were there last.... that ballpark is great. A new ballpark would be a waste of public money. (+ also agree that the Whiote Sox need to stay on the Southside!)
im 55 i grew up in CT a yankee fan; my father was born and raised across from the stadium on jerome avei; iwas an autograph hound as a kid at the old stadium; only the visiting teams bc the yankees had batting practice bf the gates opened back then; and dave stewart was without question the nicest guy i ever encountered as far as getting autos; always a fan of his
That would be awesome for Dave & baseball. I will say that I knew Dave as a player & in the Front Office of the Blue Jays & he definitely has the 'chops' to be an excellent owner. Go get it Dave!
At first I thought it was Dave Steward the founder and prey of World Wide Technologies that was in talks but it is actually the former major leaguer! Exciting
I have a hard time supporting any team in MLB. Remember, the vote from the owners to move the A's was unanimous. I suppose if Smoke is the leader of the new ownership team, that would make it a bit more palatable.
Yes, Reinsdorf will show a nice profit when he sells the team. However, if he had simply put that money into an S&P 500 index fund in 1981 instead of buying the team, that investment would now be worth $2,696,754,622.
If the Rays can't play in the Trop, they should play at Guarantee Rate Field (so that folks on the South Side can actually see a MLB team), while the White Stockings play in Summerlin (so the folks in Vegas can know what things will be like when or if the A's move there).
I wouldn’t mind the White Sox in Oakland especially since I’ve always been a fan of the logo and uniforms but I wouldn’t want to rip a team from another fan base.
Love your videos Brodie. I’m not from the Bay Area nor have I ever been but it broke my heart to see the A’s leave Oakland. However being born and raised in Illinois as a Sox fan it would break my heart even more to see them move to Cali
You can’t just move a team that’s been around for 123 years in the 3rd largest market In the country.. It makes absolutely no sense on any level whatsoever
@@michaelleroy9281 Chicago is declining in population, and soon the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area will surpass it in population to become the 3rd largest metropolitan area in the USA. Demographers project that DFW will reach 10 million people sometime in the 2030s, surpassing Chicago to become America’s third-largest metro area, according to the Kinder Institute Newsletter published by Rice University. Why should Chicago maintain two teams when other areas without an MLB team are more populous than some areas with an MLB team? A good example is that the combined population of NC and SC is over 16 million, yet there isn't a team in the Carolinas. The closest team to the Carolina's largest city, Charlotte, is over three and a half hours away. In 1958, two MLB teams moved away from the nation's largest city to California, which at the time had a very large and fast-growing population without an MLB team. Perhaps the White Sox could consider a move to Indianapolis. It wouldn't be a far move, and the White Sox would have the entire state of Indiana to themselves instead of competing with the more popular Cubs in greater Chicago.
Given that MLB is the only league to have two teams in Chicago and the Cubs will play all of the same players that the White Sox will (under the same rules), I think the only reason to have the White Sox in Chicago is because of tradition. Which has kind of been under attack in baseball for a while and by the Commissioner since around COVID.
All speculation at this point. However, if Dave Stewart buys the White Sox and moves them to Nashville, then that is far worse than what happened with the A's. Dave Stewart buying the Sox and keeping them in Chicago is the best thing for Chicago, baseball, and Dave Stewart.
No way it'll be that way. I heard this when I was 10(1970) and 27(1987). This city is humongous. After New York , we're IT. Why would anyone want to move from this market to one 1/7 th the size . All those place crying for a baseball team are no bigger than Milwaukee/ St Louis or Cleveland. 0:00
Chicagoan here. Why did Clay Bennett move the Supersonics to the ~43rd-biggest market? For pride. I think the White Sox group is in the saber-rattling stage of negotiations now, but Pritzker, as he has made clear, is not going to let Reinsdorf and the McCaskey family extort the state for a publicly-funded stadium. Johnson needs the money, but not JB. The Bears and Bulls are going nowhere and have little leverage, but the Sox are expendable.
That would be ironic considering the Sox came close to becoming the Tampa Bay White Sox back in 1990. That's the whole reason why the Trop was built in the first place.
If Stew successfully buys the Sox he will keep the team in Chicago and the 78 location in downtown is perfect. It's a good fit. Will the City of Chicago get on board and make this happen that's the big question
Twins, White Sox, probably more for sale has to lower the value/price of all teams, not to mention there's not a lot of folks with that kind of money to buy a team, I highly doubt Dave Stewart has the money to buy a MLB team, I.d love to own a pro Soccer team but my bank account says thats not gonna take place anytime soon,
No. However from my understanding on reading and watching several news reports Dave Stewart will be Co Owner (probably not majority Owner) and front man of the group that could buy the White Sox. Similar to say the role Magic Johnson has with the Dodgers or Hockey Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux has with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
@@michaelleroy9281 Dodgers beat Tony Larussa Oakland A's. Kirk Gibson home run. Great Series, I remember my Whitesox getting beat in 1983 playoffs by Cal Ripken's Orioles 😝
I’m down with new ownership for the White Sox but please don’t try to move the team. We are die hard fans and love the whitesox!!! There’s no bigger market and fans that’s looking for a winning franchise like Chicago SouthSide
It's Dave Stewart the pitcher. He is more or less the spokesman for the Nashvill group. I am sure he has some money in the pot too. But, he won't be the only owner.
If a team wants a new stadium, they (majority owner/team) should be required to give city 49% of team and first rights to controlling interest (2%) if owner decides to sell team or move the team.
I’m all for new ownership for the White Sox as long as they stay in Chicago.. 3rd largest market deserves 2 teams.. If anyone wants to relocate a team, move the Twins or Brewers😢
Dave Stewart = Smoke Chicago White Sox colors = Black, White, Grey (road) Smoke colors (often) = Black, White, Grey Seems like a fit to me. I hope Smoke gets it done.
Unlikely the Sox end up in Nashville. I'm not sure what the obsession is with that city. If the Sox are going to relocate, my guess the best and safest move would be down I-65 to Indianapolis. Especially if they build on the NW side of town. That would still give Chicago easy access to the Sox for loyal fans -- assuming there are any. A billion dollar stadium in Chicago seems unlikely as well. Hard to reward such a poorly performing franchise where little economic benefit would be gained. It is more likely that Indianapolis would build the stadium as it is a huge sports down.
Won’t any potential new owner of any of the teams currently on the block need permission to relocate to another City? Would that permission take at least a year to happen? Also, wouldn’t relocation come with its own huge cost? Look at the experience of the Oakland A’s. Had to leave Oakland, find a decent temporary home, get $$$$ from Vegas, buy land and build a brand new stadium. Seems like an incredibly mega expensive way to acquire a baseball team just to move it to a new location. But what do I know????
If the A’s relocation fee is waived. then must mlb waive fees for all others teams who relocate as well? Then where does it end? This can’t be good for baseball. It’s already losing market share and demographics by the year.
I think he bought the White Sox and Comiskey Park combined for 20 million. He also bought the Bulls for 15 million. I'd say he got a pretty good return on those investments.
This is awful for white sox fans honestly. It's a lose lose situation. Either jerry keeps the Sox or we lose our team. He's also really good friends with LaRussa. This just seems like one last attempt from Jerry to say screw the fans. This is not being taken well in Chicago right now from all media outlets
ChiSox aren't going anywhere the stadium is very nice and in a HUGE market. I do wonder if the ChiSox valuation has gone down recently due to their BRAND NEW regional sports network(CHSN). I've heard they aren't getting near the carriage fees they expected. Also, they're the worst team in the history of baseball, who would want to buy them unless they got a bargain basement price?, which will never happen.
Does Dave Stewart actually have the financial ability to pay over $1B for the White Sox, though, AND be the controlling partner? That's very doubtful. My guess is that this is just to build some goodwill back after such a dismal season. Jerry wants a publicly financed stadium and knows he's not in a position to demand it.
I obviously have no knowledge of Dave Stewart’s personal finances.. but it doesn’t add up that he would be a “majority” owner.. so you mean to tell me that someone that made 19 mil - pre tax- in his playing career all of the sudden has 500 mil dollars lol.. it just doesn’t add up
If Stewart leads a group that guys The Sox and moves them to Nashville, he's going to get trashed all day and every day by Oakland people. Not that I would care a lot about it, but with how emotional and upset he was about the A's leaving and with how A's fans feel about it (and the idea of other cities stealing teams, etc.) he's going to hear it forever. I just don't see him doing that with how he felt about A's leaving. If anything, I think he/they would buy it and keep in Chi. But I think this is more about what The Sox owner trying to get his stadium built with some leverage--what nothing personal guy argued, can't remember his name atm, lol. He said Stewart just does not have the chops, money, and JR is just using this as a threat. I can sell to him and he may move the team, so help build me a stadium.
Dave Stewart clearly doesn’t the money to be an mlb owner. He could be connected with ppl with deep pockets and Dave would be the in charge of baseball ops but that really is up to the new owners. I don’t anything comes from this.
Reinsdorf has completely ruined his new Chicago Sports Network. He’s made it damn near Impossible to watch my Bulls, Blackhawks, and eventually White Sox. sooner he’s out of the picture, the better. I just hope this isn’t one last middle finger to Chicago before the Sox get shipped off to Nashville
Dave Stewart has a net worth of 10 million , that’s not even close to being able to afford any MLB team ..Unless he goes in with a group and can get the city of Chicago to build the stadium it all sounds like a pipe dream ..
if Stew will keep thr team in Chicago, hell ya #SELL. If there is a fraction of a percentage that the team would be moved, then Stew can stay the hell away.
Would love for Stew to relocate them to Oakland but how good would we be as fans to have another fanbase ripped of their franchise like ours, nothing but the best for Stew and White Sox fans, FJF forever
Sounds like a game of poker - Reinsdorf isnt the same type of owner as Fischer to some degree. But he is willing to gamble the fate of the last multiple baseball city in Chicago. Like the old Tropicana Field that was used as leverage by both the White Sox and the Giants - This time Reinsdorf is using another viable market (Nashville) as leverage. Who paid for that replacement for Comiskey this last time? The MLB will not award any expansion teams until the ransom has been paid. Who is the advocate for the fans? As fans this sucks as it did for fans of the Oakland A's (the franchise that will have moved 3 times in it's existence.
@@JV510 Almost 10 million people in Chicagoland. Only need 20% of them to be fans to match Nashville's metro population. Theres plenty of Sox fans, just need a ownership that cares about winning and the fans.
@@HariSeldon913 Fans show up when they're treated right and have a watchable product. I think we're understandably a bit bitter considering how there's been 11 playoff appearances in franchise history and won only 3 playoff series in 100 years (all in 2005). 1 of 2 years not to give $100+ million contract despite playing in a big market (only other team is the A's). Not to mention they just had the worst team in modern history and are planning to cut spending next year.
Moving the team would be criminal. The Sox have a unique history and legacy that are inextricably bound up with the city. But if you're going to move the team, then you don't get to take the name with you. Call it whatever else you want, but leave the name to history.
Most teams kept their names when they moved. Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Giants to San Francisco Giants, Boston to Milwaukee to Atlanta Braves, and several others. Examples in other sports include Chicago to St. Louis to Phoenix (now Arizona) Cardinals in the NFL, and Minneapolis Lakers to LA and New Orleans Jazz to Utah in the NBA. Not all teams did that; i.e. two Washington Senators teams that became Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers, respectively, and Montreal Expos becoming the Washington Nationals. It should be the team's choice whether or not to keep the White Sox name if and when they move.
I would love to see an MLB team with a majority black owner, finally. Also, the White Sox and them moving to Oakland … as a former Illinoisan, I’d love to see that … and I think it would be a smart move.

I met Stew randomly 3 different times in the wild. He was super honorable and kind every time. Let’s go Stew…let’s GO OAKLAND
that's definitely stew
Stew is really nice, humble, and authentic.
If Stew successfully buys the Sox he will keep the team in Chicago and the 78 location in downtown is perfect. It's a good fit. Will the City of Chicago get on board and make this happen that's the big question
@@wongleebruce Yes, that would be most appropriate and very cool. I like the proposed location. I hope it works out for Stew.
Twins, White Sox, probably more for sale has to lower the value/price of all teams, not to mention there's not a lot of folks with that kind of money to buy a team, I highly doubt Dave Stewart has the money to buy a MLB team, I.d love to own a pro Soccer team but my bank account says thats not gonna take place anytime soon,
No. However from my understanding on reading and watching several news reports Dave Stewart will be Co Owner (probably not majority Owner) and front man of the group that could buy the White Sox. Similar to say the role Magic Johnson has with the Dodgers or Hockey Hall of Famer Mario Lemieux has with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
This would be good for baseball and a huge silver lining for the White Sox.
I’m all for Dave Stewart owning the White Sox IF AND ONLY IF HE AND HIS PATNERS CAN KEEP THE TEAM IN CHICAGO!!!
Dave Stewart? Will Annie Lennox be part of the deal?
wrong stew!!
@@brodiebrazil Pity. Sweet dreams were made of this sale. 😺😺😺
Messing with the Missionary Man can get you in trouble
Walking on broken glass can also get one into trouble.
Jerry Reinsdorf playing games again🙄 I will believe it when it happens, at least I saw 2005🏆
Unfortunately I saw 1988 don't want that to be near move 2.0
@@michaelleroy9281 Dodgers beat Tony Larussa Oakland A's. Kirk Gibson home run. Great Series, I remember my Whitesox getting beat in 1983 playoffs by Cal Ripken's Orioles 😝
I’m down with new ownership for the White Sox but please don’t try to move the team. We are die hard fans and love the whitesox!!! There’s no bigger market and fans that’s looking for a winning franchise like Chicago SouthSide
You sure this isn't actually David Steward and not David Stewart? The founder of World Wide Technology. Born in Chicago. 11-13 Billion Net Worth.
Hence why Brodie said, “former big leaguer”
@@andrewheitmeyer9945 Well the guy who first reported could of gotten it wrong
It's Dave Stewart the pitcher. He is more or less the spokesman for the Nashvill group.
I am sure he has some money in the pot too. But, he won't be the only owner.
No you are both wrong. It’s actually Dave Stewart, the guy from the Eurythmics. He and Annie Lennox are buying the White Sox
Sweet Dreams are made of these who am I do disagree
If a team wants a new stadium, they (majority owner/team) should be required to give city 49% of team and first rights to controlling interest (2%) if owner decides to sell team or move the team.
This is going to upset Reggie Jackson to no end.
I’m all for new ownership for the White Sox as long as they stay in Chicago.. 3rd largest market deserves 2 teams.. If anyone wants to relocate a team, move the Twins or Brewers😢
😂😂😂😂
Nashville doesn't have a stadium or financing plan for one yet. Wonder how they would handle a potential move if Stewart gets the ChiSox?
Dave wants to bring baseball back to OAK
MLB will never return to Oakland
TOUGH for Bulls fans
Shoot, didn't know Smoke had that amount of money. It would be dope he gets the team
Dave Stewart = Smoke
Chicago White Sox colors = Black, White, Grey (road)
Smoke colors (often) = Black, White, Grey
Seems like a fit to me. I hope Smoke gets it done.
If you and Stew are so tight, it’s hard to believe you didn’t have a hint.
Unlikely the Sox end up in Nashville. I'm not sure what the obsession is with that city. If the Sox are going to relocate, my guess the best and safest move would be down I-65 to Indianapolis. Especially if they build on the NW side of town. That would still give Chicago easy access to the Sox for loyal fans -- assuming there are any. A billion dollar stadium in Chicago seems unlikely as well. Hard to reward such a poorly performing franchise where little economic benefit would be gained. It is more likely that Indianapolis would build the stadium as it is a huge sports down.
Sell to the Miller's in Utah..... deep deep pockets. Shovel ready Stadium site. Legislature approved money ready to go.
Where do you think fisher is going
Why not!!!!
Won’t any potential new owner of any of the teams currently on the block need permission to relocate to another City? Would that permission take at least a year to happen? Also, wouldn’t relocation come with its own huge cost? Look at the experience of the Oakland A’s. Had to leave Oakland, find a decent temporary home, get $$$$ from Vegas, buy land and build a brand new stadium. Seems like an incredibly mega expensive way to acquire a baseball team just to move it to a new location. But what do I know????
We could use a massive upgrade from Chuck Garfien !
Jerry is bluffing, it's a leverage play to get money for the new ballpark... probably won't work this time.
It's a whole new ballgame since 1988 Reinsdorf is not bluffing this time
If the A’s relocation fee is waived. then must mlb waive fees for all others teams who relocate as well? Then where does it end? This can’t be good for baseball. It’s already losing market share and demographics by the year.
Jerry is just trying to use leverage once again. I’m sick of this guy and his will to not be a caring owner.
I'm just wondering why any other millionaires in Chicago dont demand a 2nd team in all the other sports ? New York has them , we could too .
2 teams have been in Chicago since 1901
I don’t know what I would do if the Sox left town…
Celebrate? Find a real team to follow?
Root for no team at all
2 billions minimum and 300m relocation fee to MLB !
Well the O’s sold for 1.725 billion. So if the White Sox went up for sale it would be for at least $2 Billion
I think he bought the White Sox and Comiskey Park combined for 20 million. He also bought the Bulls for 15 million. I'd say he got a pretty good return on those investments.
This is awful for white sox fans honestly. It's a lose lose situation. Either jerry keeps the Sox or we lose our team.
He's also really good friends with LaRussa. This just seems like one last attempt from Jerry to say screw the fans. This is not being taken well in Chicago right now from all media outlets
Jerry might not be around in 2029 when the lease ends
ChiSox aren't going anywhere the stadium is very nice and in a HUGE market.
I do wonder if the ChiSox valuation has gone down recently due to their BRAND NEW regional sports network(CHSN). I've heard they aren't getting near the carriage fees they expected.
Also, they're the worst team in the history of baseball, who would want to buy them unless they got a bargain basement price?, which will never happen.
Hoping he keeps the Sox in Chicago, anyone saying it’s only a Cubs city isn’t from here.
Does Dave Stewart actually have the financial ability to pay over $1B for the White Sox, though, AND be the controlling partner? That's very doubtful.
My guess is that this is just to build some goodwill back after such a dismal season. Jerry wants a publicly financed stadium and knows he's not in a position to demand it.
I obviously have no knowledge of Dave Stewart’s personal finances.. but it doesn’t add up that he would be a “majority” owner.. so you mean to tell me that someone that made 19 mil - pre tax- in his playing career all of the sudden has 500 mil dollars lol.. it just doesn’t add up
nashville or oakland orsalt lake
If Stewart leads a group that guys The Sox and moves them to Nashville, he's going to get trashed all day and every day by Oakland people. Not that I would care a lot about it, but with how emotional and upset he was about the A's leaving and with how A's fans feel about it (and the idea of other cities stealing teams, etc.) he's going to hear it forever. I just don't see him doing that with how he felt about A's leaving. If anything, I think he/they would buy it and keep in Chi. But I think this is more about what The Sox owner trying to get his stadium built with some leverage--what nothing personal guy argued, can't remember his name atm, lol. He said Stewart just does not have the chops, money, and JR is just using this as a threat. I can sell to him and he may move the team, so help build me a stadium.
Name you're looking for is David Samson.
Dave Stewart clearly doesn’t the money to be an mlb owner. He could be connected with ppl with deep pockets and Dave would be the in charge of baseball ops but that really is up to the new owners. I don’t anything comes from this.
Dave buys the sox brodie needs to come to chicago and be apart of the on air talent. Nbc sport chicago is done anyway so come on over
Reinsdorf has completely ruined his new Chicago Sports Network. He’s made it damn near Impossible to watch my Bulls, Blackhawks, and eventually White Sox. sooner he’s out of the picture, the better. I just hope this isn’t one last middle finger to Chicago before the Sox get shipped off to Nashville
Dave Stewart has a net worth of 10 million , that’s not even close to being able to afford any MLB team ..Unless he goes in with a group and can get the city of Chicago to build the stadium it all sounds like a pipe dream ..
I would ask a big corporate company, like maybe Chicago Utilities ❓
based on your past videos, major-league baseball, will have no problem of relocating the White Sox to another city
Reinsdorf. He gone. The Hawk made me say that.
Chicago Nashville Oakland
So why didn’t they let them buy A’s. So sad but happy for stew
A’s crappy owner has never had interest in selling the team unfortunately
💐💚💛
Sell to Stew and then Stew trades White Sox to Fisher for A’s. Las Vegas White Sox. Solved it.
Considering what a disaster Stewart was as the Diamondbacks GM, it's more likely that he'd trade the White Sox for the Hartford Yard Goats.
if Stew will keep thr team in Chicago, hell ya #SELL. If there is a fraction of a percentage that the team would be moved, then Stew can stay the hell away.
Sox fans don't understand that they only have 2 options. Support the new stadium at the 78 or lose the team to Nashville
Too bad Dave Stewart couldn't buy the As...
That information is already public. He made offers.
I feel like if the bay area gets another team it'll probably be san jose instead of oakland
Would love for Stew to relocate them to Oakland but how good would we be as fans to have another fanbase ripped of their franchise like ours, nothing but the best for Stew and White Sox fans, FJF forever
Who has the big money in the group?
Like when they claimed Jetter bought the Marlins.
Apparently the taxpayers who aren't being asked. I doubt they'd approve paying $1B for a new stadium that will be 90% empty seats.
Chicago Utilities
Sounds like a game of poker - Reinsdorf isnt the same type of owner as Fischer to some degree. But he is willing to gamble the fate of the last multiple baseball city in Chicago. Like the old Tropicana Field that was used as leverage by both the White Sox and the Giants - This time Reinsdorf is using another viable market (Nashville) as leverage. Who paid for that replacement for Comiskey this last time?
The MLB will not award any expansion teams until the ransom has been paid. Who is the advocate for the fans?
As fans this sucks as it did for fans of the Oakland A's (the franchise that will have moved 3 times in it's existence.
There a whole a lot of teams going up for sale what does that mean 🤔🤔 are we finna lose our American teams to overseas owners soon ?
Dave Stewart was a disaster running the diamondbacks. He would continue to run the White Sox into the ground.
Do you consider Derek Jeter a Black owner even though he is bi-racial?
I believe he only owned 4% not sure that was majority interest situation.
@@brodiebrazil I posted before hearing your oral statement of majority owner
Please don't move the Sox from Chicago. That would be an unimaginable tragedy.
Way more cubs fans in that city
@@JV510 Almost 10 million people in Chicagoland. Only need 20% of them to be fans to match Nashville's metro population. Theres plenty of Sox fans, just need a ownership that cares about winning and the fans.
@@owenschaufelberger6662 And then for 1% of that 20% to actually attend games. They were lucky to get that in the year they won the WS.
@@HariSeldon913 Fans show up when they're treated right and have a watchable product. I think we're understandably a bit bitter considering how there's been 11 playoff appearances in franchise history and won only 3 playoff series in 100 years (all in 2005). 1 of 2 years not to give $100+ million contract despite playing in a big market (only other team is the A's). Not to mention they just had the worst team in modern history and are planning to cut spending next year.
Dave Stewart? The retired pitcher, or the musician? 🤔
First he wanted to buy the A's and that failed, what makes you think it will happen again?
🤣🤣 please please move them to oakland this would be great
Moving the team would be criminal. The Sox have a unique history and legacy that are inextricably bound up with the city.
But if you're going to move the team, then you don't get to take the name with you. Call it whatever else you want, but leave the name to history.
Most teams kept their names when they moved. Brooklyn Dodgers to Los Angeles Dodgers, New York Giants to San Francisco Giants, Boston to Milwaukee to Atlanta Braves, and several others. Examples in other sports include Chicago to St. Louis to Phoenix (now Arizona) Cardinals in the NFL, and Minneapolis Lakers to LA and New Orleans Jazz to Utah in the NBA. Not all teams did that; i.e. two Washington Senators teams that became Minnesota Twins and Texas Rangers, respectively, and Montreal Expos becoming the Washington Nationals. It should be the team's choice whether or not to keep the White Sox name if and when they move.
Their field isn’t that old. Yo owner, build your own, amortize for 50 years.
How rich is Dave Stewart?
Not rich enough to do this, surely he has a wealthy group behind him if this is legit
Move the White Sox to Oakland!! 😂
I would love to see an MLB team with a majority black owner, finally. Also, the White Sox and them moving to Oakland … as a former Illinoisan, I’d love to see that … and I think it would be a smart move.
