With the 40-man protection deadline approaching, which White Sox prospects get protected from the Rule 5 draft? [9:15] As the GM Meetings were wrapping up, Josh Nelson left for vacation. Biggest takeaway from James Fegan's reporting in Las Vegas is that the White Sox are not going to be big spenders, again. Sure seems like someone within the White Sox organization should be trying to figure out the revenue issue to spur more spending in free agency.

This episode is presented by Ankin Law - Injury Law Made Personal. Rundown [Intro] Thoughts on the World Series as it heads to Los Angeles tied one game apiece. Early on it seems clear that the Toronto Blue Jays have to get to the Dodgers bullpen earlier. With how the starting pitching stacks up, can the Blue Jays win at least one game in LA to get the series back home? [9:33] First Base Review: It seems the debate to start 2026 is "Who should get more of the playing time at first base: Miguel Vargas or Lenyn Sosa?" What can the White Sox do to help Sosa defensively? Can these two help get the White Sox closer to league average offense in 2026? [24:10] Second Base Review: What does Chase Meidroth need to accomplish to settle the question if he’s the White Sox long-term plan at second base? [36:46] Shortstop Review: The position belongs to Colson Montgomery, as long as he's healthy. If Montgomery does miss any time, who are the best backup options? Is this an area where the White Sox could look for outside help? [44:25] Third Base Review: Who is the White Sox primary starting third base before the offseason begins? Miguel Vargas doesn't grade as a good defender at the position, Curtis Mead didn't show much offensively, and Bryan Ramos is out of options. Is this a position of need for the White Sox to find outside help? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

[24:43] Two bold managerial hires with the San Francisco Giants, bringing Tony Vitello from college baseball, and Kurt Suzuki agreeing to a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Angels. [39:20] White Sox Catchers Review: With how well Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero hit, do the White Sox have a Top 10 catching unit in baseball? Also, is it automatic that both Teel and Quero are with the White Sox to start 2026? What possibility is there of one being dealt to help address other areas in the roster? [50:31] White Sox Outfielders Review: This is a unit that sorely needs to be addressed, as only five outfielders are on the current 40-man roster, and both Mike Tauchman and Derek Hill could be non-tender candidates. What kind of outfielders should the White Sox target this offseason, and what are the odds Jerry Reinsdorf shocks the world by signing a big free agent? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

This episode is presented by Ankin Law - Injury Law Made Personal. Rundown [Intro] The Chicago White Sox starting pitching staff had a 4.39 ERA, which ranked 21st in MLB. However, the starters FIP of 4.89 ranked 29th in MLB. So if the rotation pulled off a minor miracle carrying a better ERA with minimal defensive improvement, what did we like about the White Sox starting pitchers in 2025?

[10:50] The Bullpen Review is to help recap the previous season's production while looking ahead in how the White Sox could improve this unit. Starting with what we liked from the White Sox bullpen in 2025. [17:55] What we didn't like about the White Sox bullpen in 2025. [20:40] Does Will Venable believe in closers?

[6:00] Travis Sawchik wrote a feature story for Driveline Baseball about how power ages for MLB hitters. What he found was a bit surprising as bat speed decreases, power numbers dip, and even plate discipline typically doesn't improve with more experience. The prime power years appear to be ages 22 to 26. So why are MLB teams not being more aggressive with callups to take advantage of a player's athletic peak? And for aging hitters, why Air Pull% is key metric for staying power. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Guest Brenden Moore joins the show to share his unique insight covering Illinois politics and circles two important dates when a proposal could be voted on. [22:44] Dylan Cease is throwing harder in Spring Training than last year's camp. Why that's a good sign and why Cease thinks everyone is sleeping on the White Sox. [33:27] Erick Fedde made his first start for the White Sox and looked good against right-handers. However, there's a question about his attack plan against left-handed bats moving forward. [38:55] For two innings, Michael Kopech looked strong striking out five. Question now is how he looks when starts start to push more than four innings if he's purely just fastball / slider arsenal. [41:02] While Garrett Crochet is still searching for a second pitch to throw for strikes, his fastball seems to have recapture his missing velocity since Tommy John surgery [49:04] Pedro Grifol's comments about the second batter in the lineup causes confusion [58:35] After Matt Chapman signs for a small deal with the San Francisco Giants has Scott Boras overplayed his hand with his four big clients?

If this wasn’t your job, how many Sox games would you watch this upcoming season? The second half of last season I watched games around the league and realized how much good baseball there is to watch. I don’t see myself watching more than 40 Sox games this year [10:49] Michael In the spirit of a very old P.O. Sox question I asked where I wondered who would have the better career between Rodon, Kopech, and Alec Hansen. Which prospect that didn’t make the majors from the recent rebuild did you have the highest hopes on that didn’t pan out? What do you think went wrong? [18:16] John Phillips We will be going to Arizona again this year. We usually catch several Sox games and wander the practice fields. If you had this opportunity, where would you focus your attention? [21:43] Noah Amstadter In light of the Sox numerous AAAA acquisitions the past few weeks, are the team’s numbers in Ben Clemens’ metric looking any better? And isn’t strong AAA depth for this team as it currently stands kind of like carrying low deductible car insurance on a 17 year old beater with 300,000 miles? [27:52] Jordan How is BetterHelp not a sponsor of this podcast? I’m sure all of us Sox fans could greatly benefit from some professional help at this point….

[39:02] Bryan Dolan What is a realistic statistical goal for Noah Schultz this year/has there been any noticeable comments or changes (ie bannister) to avoid recent developmental struggles ie Crochet/Rodon/ dear god Carson Fulmer. Enjoy your trip Josh!! It’s a dream of mine to make it there. [47:42] Asinwreck If Brett Phillips isn't the starting RF on Opening Day, who would be a realistic option? Also, can Josh bring Dave Nilsson back from Australia to manage the Sox? [57:04] Stephen Millark After signing roughly a dozen defensive replacements to one year deals, it doesnt seem like the White Sox have a real long term plan and probably don't have the farm system to achieve a real competitive team in Luis Robert's window of control. Considering that, is this the time to trade him? Even if you only get 80 cents on the dollar, those 80 cents probably do more to help the Sox return to the playoffs in 2-3 years than Robert does before he leaves Learn more about your ad choices.

While his fastballs are getting awful results, Kuhl can help the Charlotte Knights with pitching depth that they didn't have last year. Or, because of his above average slider, could the White Sox help Kuhl transform into a reliever?
