Big Hurtin Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 2 minutes ago, ChiSox59 said: Why would Bennetti leave if Sox allow him to continue to double dip? It’s not like any other sports he calls are daily during the summer. As far as I know, he doesn't have a contract. Takes 2 sides. Why would they not want him back, no idea. Maybe they have someone else in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they have someone else in mind. I've been told details on this situation and am trying to get more confirmation. What I can say is that the Sox have an "option" on Jason for the 2023 and 2024 seasons but as of right now there is no signed contract. His deal with Fox is causing some issues with some members of the front office because of the number of days he needs to be "off" working for them instead of doing Sox games. Jason tried to avoid this situation by wanting to work out his White Sox deal first but was told to go ahead and get his other deals done, then get back to the Sox and they'd work out something. It sounds like Jason isn't at fault here if what I'm being told is accurate. And the individuals I've spoken with (and will speak with more this coming week) really don't know what Stone's status will be either since his deal is up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 That Reddit post.... I don't know some might be fiction. But this ain't the first time Jerry has a cluster f*** going on. If that would be true about Hahn he should have quit. That's why I have no respect for him. I can see the machado thing being mostly accurate. That's the bullshit the loyal Sox fans have had to endure for 41 yrs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I read this before he removed the backstory. The backstory didn't make a whole lot of sense. Apparently he works at Panera and at the ER? Maybe I misread that part or am misremembering it. Either way, I find it hard to believe anybody would talk this long and in this detail to a stranger about gossip at their job. All this must have taken hours to talk about. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The disgusting bottom line is, the Sox are still owned and run by the worst pathetic owner in baseball. Sadly nothing is going to change until JR passes away and the team is sold, or he let's his son Michael run it and completely stays out of any decisions and involvement whatsoever. I would like to know whether there was talk about removing TLR during the season. It was a most logical move. The Jays and Phillies were scuffling and replaced their managers and now are in the playoffs. We stood pat and basically threw the towel with TLR at the helm. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes the fact that he wasn’t called up even more horseshit. 12 hours ago, joejoesox said: * 2 - TLR answered to nobody but Jerry, everytime there was an issue he went straight to Jerry and Jerry either told a player to shut up or they would be traded, or threatened a firing on a staff member Not surprised. f*** off Bologna. 12 hours ago, joejoesox said: * 4 - Rick Hahn has wanted to quit for some time and will possibly resign in the off-season. He is extremely upset that he cannot run the team the way he wants and cannot spend Not surprised about this at all. We’ve wondered for a long while if he’s neutered and this stuff takes the entire 🤡 show into another level on an organizational level. 12 hours ago, joejoesox said: 6 - The real offer to Machado was 8 years for 190m with roughly 150m in incentives/playing bonuses. The worst part was that Machado WANTED to play here. The "hold-up" with Machado was him trying to negotiate with the Sox to sign here. The Padres had their offer on the table for longer and he didn't sign it to see if it would work out here. Manny, is that you? 12 hours ago, joejoesox said: 15 - Jerry has no interest in hiring Espada You already got your choice asshole. 12 hours ago, joejoesox said: * 16 - The team isn't going to change all that much/a lot this offseason. They dont view many holes being fixable besides right field But everyone is available? Yea. 12 hours ago, joejoesox said: * 17 - Rodon was not offered a QO by the front office because they "wanted to do him right." Hahn was not happy about it Again not surprised. I also wonder still if something Boras related played into that. 12 hours ago, joejoesox said: * 18 - Menechino is apparently the only coach that is potentially going to be removed/fired. They looked at Mcewing and Boston and probably aren't replacing them, they're considering bringing up the AAA hitting coach I don’t believe this for a second.

The whole reason Kasper left the Cubs to do radio was because he wanted to call postseason games. Well, these are the White Sox and they don't really go to the playoffs that often. And when they do, they get dismissed rather quickly. I would not be surprised if Kasper ended up leaving here for a team that regularly makes postseason appearances.

JoshPR Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 On the Jason thing.... I love his passion for the sox and that after all the obstacles he's done what he's done. That's highly admirable and deserves a ton of respect. But on the flip side there is some things about Jason that annoy the s%*# out of me and if he moves on I wouldn't be totally sad 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper was also interested in playing here, not as much as Machado ~ whatever the real number was, he sure would have looked good in a White Sox uniform. * 12 - The Sox offer for Ohtani was Cease, Kopech, Eloy, Vaughn. The angels asked for all that plus Colas, Montgomery and Raudy Read. The Sox said no. ~ Ha Ha Ha * 21 - They have been talking with Benetti since after the ASB to try to get him to continue to cast Sox games ~ I'd be extremely surprised if both are not in the booth next year. Anyway, most of this stuff I have seen at different places online, all year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 The cool thing about it Jason leaves is all the people who complained about hawk ad nauseum and the Jason ad nauseum will definitely not be complaining about the announcers not just monotonely commenting on the action packed ball game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
