Quote from: Billy Hoyle on June 05, 2025, 01:16:38 PMBoth run the Suns, Mat is the majority owner, Justin the minority owner.

Justin echoed Mat's excitement stating, "We are thrilled about the opportunity to make a positive impact on the Phoenix sports ecosystem and community through a people-first, family approach.  My brother and I look forward to bringing our passion for basketball and competitive spirit to The Valley."
It is impossible to tell if Justin will be a good owner of the Sox, but it is really hard to imagine him being worse the JR is now. IMO JR was a decent owner of the Bulls and Sox until recently (last 5-10 years). Now he is truly awful and I'd guess it is an age issue. But, there is at least some reason for hope on the Southside, which is a good thing.

Justin isn't involved in team operations. He's an investor.

I'd put the Sox new stadium chances about even with MU's D1 football return.

They're not good, but this Sox team is fun to watch and see them develop.

Very impressed with Meidroth.

Pretty sad when the profile he failed to reach was 'a singles hitter with no speed'.

Good trade for both teams.

Don't disagree, but surprised Boston wasn't able to extract a little more prospect capital, even with Devers' contract.  I've also been surprised that SF has been incapable of enticing significant free agent hitters considering they've got as much money as anyone to throw around, outside NYY, NYM, and LAD.  Is Oracle becoming to free agent hitters what Coors is to pitchers?

I think all of your points are correct. IMO, the reasoning from Boston is the long term contract combined with the return of Bergman and all of their young hitters.
