Ozzie Guillen challenging an MLB reporter to a boxing match is the most fight the White Sox have shown all year

The 2022 Chicago White Sox remain ghastly underachievers.

Just in the last week they’ve dropped must-win matchups to the three division rivals and continue to watch manager Tony La Russa make baffling in-game decisions.

Not only has that led to some much-deserved criticism from fans and media alike, it’s also spilled over to the usually friendly pre-and post-game shows on NBC Sports Chicago, where former Sox manager Ozzie Guillen provides insight as an analyst.

Well, that insight appears to have rubbed MLB insider Jon Heyman the wrong way, because after Guillen chastised La Russa’s management, Heyman accused Ozzie of trying to insult his was back into the dugout.

Guillen responded by challenging Heyman to a boxing fight—for charity, of course—insisting that their feud was now personal.

Well then!

It doesn’t seem like this fight will actually happen, but let’s check out the tale of the tape anyways:

Jon Heyman Vs. Ozzie Guillen
61 Age 58
N/A Ht 5-11
N/A Wt 150+ lbs.

Hmm. Ok, not a ton to go off of there. Let’s set the line at Ozzie Guillen (-450), Jon Heyman (+550). Ozzie gets the significant edge considering A) he’s a former pro athlete and B) he clearly just wants a reason to throw a punch at a reporter without consequences.

Who ya got?
