FutureSox making one more call for affiliate correspondents

As we approach the season, FutureSox is making one more call for local correspondents at the White Sox affiliates. In particular, we are seeking locals for the following areas:

  • NC I-85 corridor (to cover Charlotte and/or Kannapolis primarily, possibly also Winston-Salem)
  • Great Falls or elsewhere around the PIoneer League cities (mostly MT, ID)
  • Phoenix area (for Spring Training, AZL, and fall leagues)

We already have people lined up for Birmingham and Winston-Salem, and one for the AZL but not the shoulder season leagues (and more coverage there is better). We have a local media person for Great Falls too, but he is employed in media already so he is limited in what he can do for us there. Our hope is to have dedicated people for every team if possible.

Here is what we are looking for: in-person coverage to include one or more of written stories, interviews, video, photography, podcast appearances. Once on-boarded and established to make sure the trust is there, we will credential these people as media at those affiliates. Currently our writers are ALL volunteer, however we are aiming at making these paid roles as the year goes on (no guarantee of that yet). What we certainly can offer today is a platform that reaches a pretty large audience, being part of a media site with a strong reputation and a wonderful team of contributors. This is a hobby for most folks, but if you are interested in a future career in the field, note that FutureSox writers have gone on to roles with two Major League teams, Baseball Prospectus, Hardball Times, NBC Sports, Boras Corp and more over the years.

If you are interested, or even just know someone who is, send an email to futuresox at gmail with any related background in media or sports (or something related) and why they would be interested in, and effective at, a correspondent role with FutureSox.

NOTHING TO REPORT.  White Sox will never sign another player from this region unless someone sends KW some random videotape of a JPL middle infielder.

I asked Hahn about this topic specifically when I interviewed him. You can read it here
