Ex-Red Sox Brock Holt Jokingly Takes Shot At Andrew Benintendi, White Sox

'Now he plays for the White Sox, nobody's ever going to watch him play anymore'

Former Boston Red Sox fan favorite has yet to pass up an opportunity to take a shot at his old teammate, Andrew Benintendi -- one of his closest friends.

Last year Holt tried to get Red Sox Nation to boo Benny in his return to Fenway Park. Last week he found another way to put down his buddy.

Holt was explaining who his son Griff's favorite players are and brought up his former "Flow Bro" -- Benintendi. 

"Now he plays for the White Sox, nobody's ever going to watch him play anymore," Holt told Steve Perrault and Joey Copponi while appearing on our very own ITM Podcast on Wednesday. "I told (Benintendi) we would come to Chicago to visit him. It's not too far from Nashville, but we're not coming to a White Sox game. We'll go watch the Cubs."

Benintendi signed a franchise record five-year, $75 million contract with the White Sox, but that will not be enough for Holt to attend Guaranteed Rate Field this season.

Holt alluded to potentially joining a broadcast team down the road, which will only allow him even more airtime to badger Benny any time his name comes up -- which is one of the best ongoing bits in the Red Sox media space.
