The San Diego Padres did not do the White Sox any favors. Not the ball club, but the ownership. The franchise just sold for nearly $4 billion dollars. Yikes... and not in one of the major markets in America.
This is just going to create more problems for the White Sox as they look to a future sale. This will make the sale of the Sox even more expensive and more complicated looking for that kind of coin as they do not even yet have a locked-in plan for a new Chicago ball park. In fact, it might even tip the scales more toward the franchise being moved out of Chicago.
This is not what Sox fans need right now. Nor is is another sub-.500 start to this season.
Baseball is supposed to be fun, isn’t it?
