Ryan said that the new ownership group won’t go crazy spending money, but they are committed to making decisions that will lead to a championship. Sounds like there will be some money to spend on free agents, but not until after the 2010 season.
This bothers me
But any impactful decision regarding the baseball team (trade, free-agent signing, hiring, firing) will go to the board and ultimately be signed off by Greenberg, who could carry the title of CEO.
So this board of non-baseball people and Greenberg will be signing-off on trades? I don’t like that. They should agree on the budget and then let management (Ryan and Daniels) run the team.
thats not how businesses are run
If a shipping company is run by a board of investors, they have to sign off on any major acquisition, as will these guys… trading for a guy who needs to be paid $5mill more the rest of the year is a major decision, and the guys who put up the money to run the team get a say. Sorry.

I would imagine as long as Ryan and Daniels stay within the yearly budget the board won't have much to do.
But acquisitions during or after a season that either involve multiple years or will exceed the yearly budget will have to go before the committee where Greenberg will have the ultimate say.
For instance if in 2010 the board sets a 82 million dollar budget and at midseason our payroll is in the mid 70s and we want to go acquire someone as long as the remaining pay that season doesn’t put us over 82 million it will just have to be signed off by Greenberg. But if the guy we target is signed beyond 2010 or his pay will put us over 82 million it will

I think this new owner will mean more payroll
But not to the level some want….ie 100 million.
