The Chicago White Sox will not extend the contract of play-by-play broadcaster John Schriffen, marking the end of his tenure with the team after three seasons. Schriffen's time was characterized by an inability to connect with fans, especially during a tumultuous period for the franchise that included three consecutive seasons of over 100 losses. The decision follows Schriffen's controversial moments on air, which many observers deemed lackluster. The Sox organization is expected to seek a new broadcaster for the upcoming season.
