[NWinAZ]

The two time Mariner quitter has joined the worst ownership group in sports. What could go wrong?

Derek Jeter's HOF presence in Miami has not improved things there any at all over the past few years.

I hate to say it ... but since the Ms cannot sell or promote bobblehead games over the winter months, they figured this is the next best thing

Why so bitter for some?

Yeah he left, twice...who gives a shit. He played a majority of his career in Seattle, one of the best ever to play, came back for one last run, and now part owner. The team won't let you get over 95' cause thats all we have to celebrate, but time to move on from the bitterness. Randy pisses me off more in that he made the Mariners a cliff note during his retirement and HOF accolades even though he played 10 years for the M's. He will always be the face of the franchise, and if you want guys like Kelenic that come with a lot of attitude to stay in Seattle when we acquire them it's guys like Jr. that will keep them in Seattle. This is a much needed culture change, and just as Jr did in his youth I see him doing it now in changing the culture of this team.

play it again dave...............................

 

[ulmax]

ken says he did it...cuz he loved baseball...THAT..is the best reason...to do anything................job,.. ... family.....or to do........everything.........

A couple of questions.

A. What percentage of ownership does he truly have? It would be amazing if he had stipulations put into his ownership. Like say from the Natural where if the team doesn’t win the majority owners lose all stake in the team.

B. Did he resign his job with MLB? Seems weird you can be getting paid by MLB and be an owner of a specific team. Last I recall he was essentially the urban ambassador but it had a better title.

it says at the begining..of the video.a buy in so and so..ill have to view.......again.....

 

[ulmax]

in the middle..it says that he was able to buy a part...of one of the other partners interest...........that was..a part..of liquidity...for that partner...if..you can understand that.it does not say.....how much......

it also says.that the other partner did not sell out.......totaly......and had units left...and is still a partner...........maybe.its danny kaye ......shares....who knows

 

[ulmax]

i think...stanton..is the majority...partner...whoever...and however......the others are......minority...if that...makes sense........it does to me...
its like the ......stock market.......only a bit diff...........

..cuz...the units..where .........an offering.....non stock market...prob...but...anyway.................i do not know the exact...sell procedure........

they should be getting a new contract( the players)....so he was working for...mlb...now...he owns part of it.....he would not be able to work..


as a player.......and an owner...at the same time.........or prob a conflict.......

example.......
i own.....a part...of my contract buis...but i work at it ....as well..????????...yeah prob the bank owns the other part......lolol

 

[SeattleCoug]

I mean this is 100% a PR move. I dont really see it as a positive or negative but I'll call it what it is. Whatever percentage he has is minimal likely and dont see how it affects personnel or other decisions.

So when Kelenic comes to part owner Griffey and says "I am frustrated my homers fall short at Safeco (ya I know) and the team likes Julio better what should I do?" Does Griffey say, "Well son let me tell you a story about a primadonna who got his feelings hurt not once but twice a couple decades back".

Sorry, Griffey will never be my choice for anything Mariners. Edgar? Absolutely. Heck I would take Randy over him. I have every right to be bitter about what he did...twice...and am. It wasn't until they made him a statue and gave him a BS job that he came back. I have no problem with others thinking the total opposite. It's a soft world...lol.
