White Sox Business: A show about the Chicago White Sox

I subscribed to the Athletic to read more about the White Sox and could not appreciate James’ reporting more. Dude is top notch as a beat reporter and a features writer and his statistical/analytical stories are always great. He’s got a great eye for the game and you can tell he’s done his homework on this team and has important institutional knowledge at this point. All that being said, Greenberg’s gotta go. Came here to say that, ended up praising Fegan which I’d do all over again.

IMHO James’ analysis of the players, management and the progression of the Sox has been deeper and more insightful since the switch in podcast partners. While I miss the banter with Tom, (the show is a bit less whimsical,) there are more baseball nuggets in each episode, which I appreciate. James is “wicked smart” about baseball, and it’s well-worth tuning in for Sox fans.

I’m an athletic subscriber and James is one of the best in the biz, but the “tongue in cheek” way that Greenberg continues to make it clear that he’s not a fan of the Sox is ham fisted. It’s like listening to a Sox podcast through the eyes of a rival team and makes this hard to listen to sometimes. The little brother syndrome already exists for the Sox, but goddamn we can’t even have a passionate fan at the helm of a podcast delivered by a service that has a monthly fee. Pretty whack

This was the top notch White Sox podcast since its inception. Fegan is absolutely fantastic and his interplay with Tom Fornelli was so enjoyable. Times being as they are, for budgetary/covid reasons Tom was cut and replaced with Jon Greenberg. Good lord this guy is dull and he drags Fegan down with him. I’m an Athletic subscriber and Greenberg does a good job as EIC but is total bleh on this podcast.
