it's not like i think it'd be a good thing. i just think it's a thing reinsdork would do.Think so? Jerry already knows he can't control him. He would be better than most candidates.

That's a bummer - I really liked Benetti, but unlike me - the Sox made him watch every Sox game last year.Benetti leaving to be the Tigers announcer:
Beloved White Sox announcer Jason Benetti heading to Detroit Tigers
Renowned White Sox announcer Jason Benetti will be leaving Chicago and heading to the Detroit Tigers, the team announced Thursday.www.nbcsportschicago.com
i won't miss him at all! his cornball banter/word association humor made me ill.That's a bummer - I really liked Benetti, but unlike me - the Sox made him watch every Sox game last year.
I understand a guy named Mike Monaco is rumored to be the next broadcaster.i won't miss him at all! his cornball banter/word association humor made me ill.
At least he got paid for it.That's a bummer - I really liked Benetti, but unlike me - the Sox made him watch every Sox game last year.
Yeah - that's a good point.At least he got paid for it.
Doesn't sound like they were going to let him do all the extra stuff he wanted, flexibility etcYeah - that's a good point.
i hope he wins the "Laid off the outside slider" award next year.Bennetti has the perfect broadcasting voice. He'll be missed.
On a more positive note:
White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. wins first career Silver Slugger award
After a stellar season in which he hit 38 home runs, 36 doubles and stole 20 bases, White Sox star Luis Robert Jr. has been honored with one of baseball’s most coveted awards.www.nbcsportschicago.com
Wonder if he'll also get the Gold Glove. Regardless, a hearty congrats to La Pantera, well deserved.
If he would bring some return - I'd pay some of his salary in a trade. I think Getz was dissing him when he suggested he could play Moncada at 2nd and even 1st base (which also disses Vaughn).just realized moncada is getting $24 million in '24. holy SHIT! he's a more 'not worth it' that yasmani was!
well, he did say he didn't like the team ..... and i won't argue with him.If he would bring some return - I'd pay some of his salary in a trade. I think Getz was dissing him when he suggested he could play Moncada at 2nd and even 1st base (which also disses Vaughn).
FYI, he's calling the Washington-Utah game right now. And yes, he's outstanding when calling such games.Benetti is a fantastic announcer. Love when he calls college ftball and basketball gms but I found him unbearable during sox gms. The A whole Stone and him bad jokes/cringy banter wasn’t for me
I just realized I should have posted this in the preseason activities thread. Oh well, my blonde moment for the day.Sox trade Aaron Bummer to the Braves, get five back in return:
White Sox trade reliever Aaron Bummer to Braves, receive three pitchers, two infielders
The Sox acquired right-hander Mike Soroka, left-hander Jared Shuster, infielders Nicky Lopez and Braden Shewmake and minor-league pitcher Riley Gowens.chicago.suntimes.com
Seems like mostly castoffs from the Braves, even tho there is some pedigree there, including a one time all star and two former 1st round picks. So even if just one pans out it will have been worth it. Bummer is a shell of his former self, altho perhaps the Braves pitching staff can coax some former glory out of him.
