White Sox rookie Shane Smith's recent struggles THREATENING an All-Star season | Is he out of gas? Jun 24, 2025

Show notes

Chicago White Sox face pitching dilemmas as rookie Shane Smith struggles. Is the promising All-Star candidate running out of gas?

Host Todd Welter goes over another poor start from Smith likely being from getting tired out as he already approaches his career high in innings. Then Todd goes over the White Sox signing Noah Snydergaard to a minor-league deal. Good depth signing but if it is a preview of the team having a back up plan when they trade Adrian Houser and Aaron Civale, it might be better to just keep the two veteran starters.

Then Todd wraps up the show discussing GM Chris Getz's comments on a possibly low-spending upcoming offseason.

Time to DEMAND the White Sox end these positional experiments | Will management FINALLY listen? Jun 18, 2025

Show notes

The Chicago White Sox have got to stop thinking Lenyn Sosa is a first baseman. It would also be nice if they move on from Vinny Capra and Josh Rojas. If the team is going to experiment, try it out at Triple-A first like with what the team is doing with Brooks Baldwin playing the in the outfield.

Host Todd Welter then tackles hoping this White Sox rebuild produces players through the draft and international free agency who can produce better value than the previous rebuild did.

Finally, it is a Wayback Wednesday. Time to revisit Leury Garcia's time as a super-utility player that the White Sox are trying to develop Brooks Baldwin into.

White Sox Stadium SAGA: Can TWO Teams SHARE the 78 Development? Jun 17, 2025

Show notes

The Chicago Fire released more renderings of their proposed privately funded new stadium on the vacant land in the South Loop known as the 78. The property the White Sox want to build a new ballpark on. The renderings make it looks like the Fire will not share the land with the White Sox, but sharing the development may still be in the cards according to reports.

Host Todd Welter explores why the Sox and Fire can share the land along with other places the White Sox could build a ballpark on, so long as potential new owner Justin Ishbia finances it.

Then Todd discusses the recent mock drafts to get an idea of who the White Sox may take in next month's draft. Finally, Boston fans must stop acting their like tortured. White Sox fans have it way worse.
