Of course Sox Machine might take him back if that came to pass. I have my doubts that Sox Machine will hire another beat writer.The site posted a story thanking him and saying for now they aren't hiring anyone else.

Obviously, I suspect this will impact the value of a subscription there, but they aren't really in a position to hire just some technically-qualified reporter. At least that's my suspicion. It was a risk and it's an unusual operation, so you need someone who isn't just competent but also really cares about the Sox and will basically be a passionate co-fan with those two. Not to mention that James's tendencies to dive deep and go for less news-of-the-day kind of stuff really suits Sox Machine well but isn't necessarily the standard fare of a beat reporter. A place like Sox Machine can contribute by doing the standard "Hey Will, take me through today's big win" kind of reporting, but it's really not their lane so if you're going to invest you need someone who will bring some extra/different points of view like James did.
