  • The Chicago White Sox manager search is finally down to four candidates with wow-or-bust potential
    Oct 29 2024

    With the search narrowed to Grady Sizemore, Phil Nevin, Will Venable, and Craig Albernaz, the stakes are high as hiring Venable or Albernaz would be amazing hires while Nevin would be disappointing, and Sizemore would be a meh hiring.

Meanwhile, the Chicago Sports Network's rocky launch and the potential $19.99/month streaming fee for White Sox games spark debate. Is this pricing justified for a struggling team? The episode also critiques the regional sports network model, questioning its sustainability in today's media landscape.

    Tune in for a deep dive into the future of the Chicago White Sox and the evolving sports media environment.

  • Why Chicago White Sox ownership may change soon + Garrett Crochet's season was more than a comeback
    Oct 23 2024

    Could the Chicago White Sox be on the brink of a new era? With Jerry Reinsdorf potentially open to selling the team, the end of his controversial ownership could be near. This episode explores the transformative journey of Garrett Crochet, who has been nominated for the MLBPA's AL Comeback Player of the Year, highlighting his evolution from a reliever to an ace starting pitcher.

    Host Todd Welter also revisits the 1988 relocation attempt when the White Sox nearly moved to Tampa/St. Petersburg, saved only by last-minute political maneuvers in Illinois. The discussion extends to the challenges of securing public funding for stadiums in today's political climate and the collapse of the regional sports network business model, which might be pushing Reinsdorf towards a sale.
