Think so? Jerry already knows he can't control him. He would be better than most candidates.

it's not like i think it'd be a good thing. i just think it's a thing reinsdork would do.

That's a bummer - I really liked Benetti, but unlike me - the Sox made him watch every Sox game last year.

I understand a guy named Mike Monaco is rumored to be the next broadcaster.

At least he got paid for it.

Yeah - that's a good point.

Doesn't sound like they were going to let him do all the extra stuff he wanted, flexibility etc

Bennetti has the perfect broadcasting voice. He'll be missed.

On a more positive note:

White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. wins first career Silver Slugger award

After a stellar season in which he hit 38 home runs, 36 doubles and stole 20 bases, White Sox star Luis Robert Jr. has been honored with one of baseball’s most coveted awards.

Wonder if he'll also get the Gold Glove. Regardless, a hearty congrats to La Pantera, well deserved.

Benetti is a fantastic announcer. Love when he calls college ftball and basketball gms but I found him unbearable during sox gms. The A whole Stone and him bad jokes/cringy banter wasn’t for me

just realized moncada is getting $24 million in '24. holy SHIT! he's a more 'not worth it' that yasmani was!

If he would bring some return - I'd pay some of his salary in a trade. I think Getz was dissing him when he suggested he could play Moncada at 2nd and even 1st base (which also disses Vaughn).

FYI, he's calling the Washington-Utah game right now. And yes, he's outstanding when calling such games.

There's a lot a can't tell you about the NBA in season tournament, but I've seen enough to hope MLB does something similar.

Sox trade Aaron Bummer to the Braves, get five back in return:

White Sox trade reliever Aaron Bummer to Braves, receive three pitchers, two infielders

The Sox acquired right-hander Mike Soroka, left-hander Jared Shuster, infielders Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake and minor-league pitcher Riley Gowens.

Seems like mostly castoffs from the Braves, even tho there is some pedigree there, including a one time all star and two former 1st round picks. So even if just one pans out it will have been worth it. Bummer is a shell of his former self, altho perhaps the Braves pitching staff can coax some former glory out of him.

I just realized I should have posted this in the preseason activities thread. Oh well, my blonde moment for the day.
