That’s what I’m wondering because if MLB says something, the allegations are unfounded but it prevents or hinders a contract for the player, they have a different issue on their hands. still does not absolve the Sox of doing due diligence

If the MLB has known about these allegations, either someone there fucked up or the Sox did. I wonder if the MLB could even let the Sox know?

It’s hard to see a scenario where he takes the field again.

Sounds like a challenge. Just wait til Luis Robert falls off a Bird scooter

Yeah he better be a former White Sox as soon as they can possibly do it

I can understand if Jason wants to move on, but please don't replace him with Len. Hell, Len wanted to get off of TV

Will be interesting to see how the WBC affects him

I'm guessing the White Sox didn't have anything to do with it

Well, I mean if it doesn't work it hurts him far more than anyone else with a contract coming up. I'm sure he's not making any changes lightly

Contract year coming up

Really good article on the Athletic about Liam and the people he's reached out to since coming to town. https://theathletic.com/4082449/2023/01/13/liam-hendriks-cancer-lymphoma-charitable-work/ Without stealing too much from the article: He's been helping the community in a whole lot of ways.

There's some incentives, but he gave up a little guaranteed money

does it matter that hes never played second

Kevin Warren to the Bears, huh

Kimbrel to Philly

Speaking purely out of my ass here, but I've read people on here talk about back surgery, and I've seen athletes talk about it, and it really seems like last resort and you don't want to do it unless its the last option.

I don't need "subdued" for baseball though. He is good on baseball, though I agree he's best with a faster pace.

To answer the original question, you roll into the season with Yas and Seby. With limited resources, I'd rather try to address 2B or the outfield.

Again, I think he's fine. There is something for me - the fact that Jason's a Sox fan. It doesn't always make a difference, but I know he does actually care about the franchise. To that end, I've interacted with him twice, as well as knowing others that have, and he's truly a good dude. I do think he gets a little nerdy and weird at times, but my actual criticism with him is that he should work more on bringing things like new age stats and sabermetrics and be willing to present what he actually knows about baseball. He does dive into things like Baseball Savant and things like that - present more of that stuff in discussion to Stoney. He's very deferential to Steve and I understand why, but I do wish he'd actually present what he knows about baseball. I think it's much harder to be on radio than on TV, and he's still learning that. I've heard Jason do basketball on radio (NCAA Tournament) and he's very, very good at it.

Oh, I'm aware. Just expressing frustration that I can't literally give them my money. I understand this is to protect RSN's like NBC Sports Chicago, but figure it out! Might even give you more money to watch MLB.tv premium! But without them figuring out a way where I can stream my favorite team without having to get something like Fubo....I don't want another streaming platform to watch the Sox. So until then I've got a buddys YTTV login.

So, I never listened to Sox games with Rooney doing them, only Farmio and Kasper. Kasper is fine on radio for me, but I' a masochist and I miss Farmer and DJ and their weird ass chemistry. Watching Sox games in central Iowa since going to college in 2005 has been such an adventure. The cable provider in town has never carried whatever you called the channel the Sox were on, so the only times I got to watch for the longest time were WCIU games that were occasionally picked up in standard definition on sub channels of local channels. It wasn't until a couple years ago where I either logged in with a friends NBC Sports login or YouTube TV login that I've been able to watch most games. Where I live I'm unable to get DirecTV. The frustrating thing is I'm willing to pay for MLB.tv! If it wasn't blacked out I'd happily give them money! The long way of saying, make sure Jason and Steve are back.

Kasper seems like a perfectly nice human being, but if he replaces Jason for 2023 I'll be hoping for more national games where I can listen to Adam Amin on FS1 or something like that.
