The “control person” has changed over the years (Magowan, Neukom, Baer, Johnson the Younger) but the investor group that owns the team hasn’t changed significantly since the sale of the shares once owned by the heirs of Sue Burns (the largest share holder until her death in 2009).  That sale occurred in 2011 when Charles Johnson became the club’s largest shareholder.

Yep.  I believe Johnson bought Burns share.  But however it’s sliced, it appears to me the group has become more, to be kind, “thrifty.”  I’ll stop now on this  (at least till the deadline nears) as I think I’ve  beaten this dead horse….

You say “thrifty”, I say “sensible”.

Yeah, we have beaten this one to death.  No big deal.  Time to move on to a topic I think we agree upon.

At the 2022 quarter pole, I think it is safe to say that Keith Law of the The Athletic was correct when, prior to the 2018 MLB draft, he wrote that Bart would struggle making contact at the big league level.  

You can’t miss when you have the #2 selection in the draft and I am beginning to believe SF blew that choice.
