caulfield12 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Three new names from the previous article… Connor Onion, who grew up in La Grange and lives in Chicago, also figures to be considered. He works for Big Ten Network and ESPN and called minor-league baseball from 2017 to 2022, including the Kane County Cougars when they were in the Diamondbacks’ system (2018-19). Two potential candidates with name recognition are Chris and Stefan Caray, the twin sons of former Cubs announcer Chip Caray and the great-grandsons of the late Harry Caray, who called Sox and Cubs games. For the last two seasons, the identical twins have called games together for the Diamondbacks’ Double-A affiliate, the Amarillo Sod Poodles, in the Texas League. It’s unknown whether they’re a package deal or if they’re willing to work apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CentralChamps21 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 16 hours ago, fathom said: Where does it say this is due to his disability? If it is, then of course Boyer should be gone. 16 hours ago, reiks12 said: To think Boyer told him that due to his condition is grasping at straws Whether it was intended that way or not, someone with a visible disability is likely to receive the word "normal" in a specific way, and Boyer is at best ignorant for not understanding that. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superstar Lamar Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 That's a hatchet job by von showen. The two facts are unrelated and he has to know how it will be read by putting them next to each other. The biggest of Bennetti supporters would admit he has an unusual (not normal) personality. The truth of the story is right there very early. He left for more money and greater flexibility than the sox offered. That truth just wasn't sufficiently sensational. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree, Jason wanted to be a White Sox announcer and money had nothing to do with it because he was already under contract. It was the Sox who let him out of his contract, they could have held him to it if they really wanted him to announce games this year. Brooks is and ass for saying that regardless of how he may have intended the comment to sound. It sounds bad, and someone on his level of management should refrain from making a comment that could be perceived as ignorant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not even sure what is considered a "normal" personality vs "not normal." Regardless, part of Brooks' job is to manage different personalities and egos. If he needs it to be a very specific type of personality, maybe he just sucks at that part of his job? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't leave because of Brooks. He left for more money and greater flexibility. All things being equal, he would have stayed. It's rare to have a perfect relationship with a boss. If what is reported was the biggest complaint, that is a good working relationship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed 35 White Sox games in 2023. What is the greater flexibility? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox chose to let him go and his talent brought more money on the open market. Nowhere have I read or heard that Jason demanded more money. Get a clue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palehose1 Posted November 17 Share Posted November 17 Where there's smoke there is fire. Boyer is a controversial person within the White Sox organization, he has a reputation for arrogance. Hawk, the ultimate White Sox homer, called him out in his interview with AJP saying that Boyer was ruining the organization and feeding JR his perspectives. Benetti was certainly pushing for more schedule flexibility and more $ but the out of touch White Sox management don't understand how popular Jason was to the fans. He's not for everybody, but his PBP skills and knowledge are among the best out there. It should not have gotten to this point, it certainly re-enforces the image is that the Sox are not a desirable organization to work for whether its a player, coach, announcer, etc. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harkness99 Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 Jason is a solid announcer and seems like a decent guy but we really don't know him. However, he always annoyed the s%*# out of me as much as i thought he was good. I couldn't care less tbh honest that he is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
