Let's hope so...maybe then the Sox can trade him for anything.

All 30 MLB have reached local broadcasting agreements

Story says most employees will simply slide over to new company. Also talks about the issues the new RSN is going to have: https://chicago.suntimes.com/sports-media/2024/04/16/chicago-white-sox-bulls-blackhawks-stadium-nbc-sports-chicago-jerry-reinsdorf-diamond-sports-group-bally-sinclair-comcast-directv Stadium’s biggest challenge in its efforts to convert to a regional sports network will be gaining carriage on providers such as Comcast and DirecTV. Stadium will know what it’s up against when Diamond Sports Group, which owns the Bally Sports-branded RSNs and is working through bankruptcy court, settles on distribution deals with those carriers. Talks are ongoing. Comcast and DirecTV could place Diamond’s costly channels on a higher programming tier, which Comcast recently did with Mid-Atlantic Sports Network (MASN), home of MLB’s Orioles and Nationals. Such placement would limit Stadium’s penetration in the market.

Is it wrong to want the Sox to embarrass themselves?
Lip Man 1 replied to reiks12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
According to the story I read this morning the AJ interview was with Garfien on his latest podcast. Story said Chuck was clearly uncomfortable with the way AJ was ripping the organization. -
More flotsam and jetsam, won't move the needle a lot on this disaster.

Six guys in the starting lineup tonight were hitting under .200 for the year. Words fail me.

From DVS post game story: "Trying to avoid getting shut out for the sixth time before a paid attendance of 10,569 – there were fewer fans in the stands, some of whom were heard booing — the Sox were blanked for seven innings on four hits."

"Changing RSNs won’t solve that problem, and it could create one by trying to gain carriage on cable and satellite providers such as Comcast and DirecTV." That could be a big issue. DISH Network is already out since they no longer carry any regional sports networks.

Add new players? Getz' response - "Easier said than done"
Lip Man 1 replied to tray's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I feel your pain but I think it was someone on the board who posted that MLB has even more parity and more chances for teams to get to the World series than the NBA. They posted the numbers I recall over the past 15-20 years or so. The bottom line is incompetent, dysfunctional and inept ownership. Nothing can drag a franchise down quicker than that. -
Don't stop now boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🤡

Stop the presses: Sox hold team meeting
Lip Man 1 replied to southsider2k5's topic in Pale Hose Talk
In the long run they can have 100 meetings and they won't do a damn thing. -
Classic White Sox Jackie/#42 story: '86 Jack Perconte

Spelled his name wrong...typical. 😄 -
Stassi is more wasted JR money it seems, I think the Angels are paying at least some of it but still, more stupidity.
-
Let's put it this way, speaking just for myself, I'm willing to take that gamble that new ownership won't be as tone-deaf both on and off the field when running the franchise.
-
Pretty hard to think any ownership group (it won't be a single guy probably a corporation) will be as bad.

JR won't last that long. When new ownership arrives Getz will be fired. -

Wilson may be traded as soon as this July. Can't see him staying for the length of his deal.

Watch they'll sell off somebody. That seems to be the organizational M.O. lately.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over this happening. It's not.
