It could be an investment that allows him in a few years to buy an NBA team. Why save up the coin, when the investment could yield a much bigger return. He isnt a dumb business man that is for sure. He prolly would love to invest into an NBA team like that but he is prolly not allowed too because he is still an active player. Also curious what plays out with his son being in the league and him trying to own or owning a team. Did Jordan's one son ever play in the league while he was the owner of the bobcats/hornets?

bruceb Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 In addition to the disgusting Dolan it is this type of thinking that makes this team irrelevant: https://www.cleveland.com/tribe/2021/03/jake-bauers-gets-his-chance-at-1st-base-for-cleveland-indians-bobby-bradley-kyle-nelson-bradley-zimmer-optioned.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl_sjunior Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 We burnt everything to the ground and we're still gonna win 80 games somehow. I'm pretty high on Naylor this year, hope he stays hot. He's an underrated young outfield piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's dipping his toe in the team ownership waters and he can't do that with the NBA until he retires. He also did this with Liverpool, they're part of some group that also owns the Red Sox. Hate them, but they're big brands worth tons of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an investment, not something he needs to take an active role in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruceb Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 This disgusts me: https://www.si.com/mlb/indians/opinion/the-indians-must-determine-how-long-jake-bauers-has-to-prove-himself What kind of a message does this send to Bradley and the rest of the players? I give the FO and Francola an F- on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketheadsdad Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 We've sold Adam Plutko to the Orioles! Fantastic news! We'll be able to buy brand name laundry detergent to clean our uniforms this year. As we'll be changing our team name in the near future, Mr. Dolan (have to respect the team owner), has decided to forego washing the players uniforms this year, since we'll be changing them next year anyways. Rumor has it that he has decided to take all $75 dollars received from the Orioles, and invest them to help benefit the club. If you look at the above gif closely, you get a pretty good indication that Paul Dolan has already made a decision on the new name for the club. Cleveland Ticks? Not sure I like that .

Not sure I like that . “Plutko is out of minor league options, so the trade allows Cleveland to receive at least a modest return for a player who wasn’t likely to make their Opening Day roster, rather than lose Plutko for nothing on the waiver wire. Plutko’s 40-man roster space can now be filled by Bryan Shaw, who was in camp on a minor league contract and had already been told that he will make the team.”. I already despised Shaw......let’s now trade an actual arm for peanuts, to allow him to take up a roster spot. thank you Hulu for not coming to terms with Fox sports Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd seen that Shaw made the roster, and I'm not thrilled that he has made the roster either. Maybe simply because he's not playing at altitude anymore things will look better? (Doubt it though.) To parrot your last line. Thank goodness for Australian Rules Football. It has made my summers so much fun over the last 5 years. I am rather disturbed that Sinclair (Bally's Great Lakes) or whatever the hell they're calling it, haven't been able to reach a deal. This isn't a Cleveland thing, but rather all over the country. It is amazing that a business that doesn't actually have to create their product, has decided to accept 100% of NOTHING, rather than 65% (guessing on the figure here) of something to put their product on Hulu Live, Youtube TV and I also believe Fubo TV.

TypicalBrowns10 Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 Do we really watch this team at this point? **** Dolan. If you see any of them just hit them square in the mouth. It’s sickening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
