Ozzie Guillen's son leaves White Sox after comments on Twitter, radio

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen made it clear he was upset with his son Oney for comments he made in a Chicago radio interview, the latest twist in a Twitter saga involving the family and the organization.

"I do mind," the elder Guillen said Monday.

Oney Guillen told WSCR-AM earlier in the day that he didn't agree with his father that he made a mistake in posting blunt comments on his Twitter account and that he resigned last week to avoid more trouble with the team. Oney, 24, had a position in the team's scouting and video departments.

He said "no, not at all," when asked if he made a mistake. He also said he resigned because, "My dad let me know he didn't want me to be there because it was going to make it uncomfortable for him, because of what they were asking from me."

All this drama seems like something straight out of a reality TV series, which, by the way, the White Sox have in the works. The show, starring Ozzie Guillen, owner Jerry Reinsdorf and general manager Ken Williams, will run on MLB Network this summer.

The Twitter trouble started when the outspoken and colorful Ozzie Guillen started an account in February. Williams wasn't happy, even though his manager wasn't breaking news on his site.

The tension escalated Friday when Oney Guillen resigned after several Tweets that were deemed critical. Ozzie Guillen stormed out of the team's complex that day without speaking to reporters and then Tweeted in Spanish, saying that the team, presumably, "touched me where it hurts me the most and I have to be ready for what comes, like I have always done."

A day later, he said he told Oney to resign and he reiterated that on Monday, saying: "The White Sox didn't fire my kid; I did."

He said Oney "hurt my feelings a little bit" and that he "has to respect his dad's work. And to me, this is a temple. In this temple, you have to be [respectful]. And I hope it's over with."
