Dunno.  JA never did open the books like he promised Melewski.  Do you have any inside knowledge?

Considering he has no other skill or obvious source of income, I’m assuming it all comes from the team.

What about the wife's music career?

I know we all laugh about this but I really don’t know anything about his wife or her music career.

We need good pitchers, we don't need a LH staff just because of the wall. Good pitching from either side of the plate will neutralize the wall or the short trip to the flag court.

I would like to agree with you, but then Bruce Bochy proved otherwise with how he forced lineup matchups to utilize the wall in his favor during the ALDS.

There are a lot of starting pitchers available to sign this offseason.  ERod and Glasnow are available!

As far as personal income is concerned, I assume that some of it comes from the team, some from the law firm, some from investments and some is his wife's income.  Maybe he sits on a couple of boards.  But I'm just assuming. 

I know of no requirement for him to make all the revenues generated from the team public and by what method he chooses to reinvest what percentage in the team.  If and when that knowledge becomes public then we will have a basis for concluding whether it's sufficient or not.  It's pretty clear that he has no appetite for deficit funding, but hey John, prove me wrong.

I meant Snell, I don't know if Glasnow is a FA?

You think the firm is making a profit?

I live a couple of miles south of Nashville and given how much I've heard about her, her income is probably at least enough for Sunday dinner at Hattie B's Hot Chicken with all the fixin's.  Whether there's enough left over for the Uber ride home is unclear.

She isn’t Taylor Swift.  She could buy some free agents.

Not until next year according to BBREF.
