Chicago White Sox's talent drain: More ex-players made Baseball America's Top 100 Player rankings Mar 19, 2025

Show notes

Are the Chicago White Sox becoming invisible in the MLB landscape? With no players in Baseball America's top 100 rankings and zero national TV appearances, the White Sox are completely irrelevant now due to self-inflicted figurative wounds. The state of the talent has become so sad, the Sox have more ex-players in the Baseball America's 2025 top 100 player rankings.

The team has traded away five top 100 players in Garrett Crochet, Dylan Cease, Chris Sale, Marcus Semien, and Fernando Tatis Jr. That speaks to how this team has reached its current sad state.

Host Todd Welter discusses how the White Sox will not be on national TV this season and the revolving door at second base.

Chicago White Sox's Sean Burke named Opening Day starter + Joey Gallo's pitching dreams Mar 17, 2025

Show notes

Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable officially named Sean Burke as the Opening Day starter. This is the second straight Opening Day in a row where the White Sox will have an inexperienced pitcher get the honors. Hopefully, Sean Burke's season turns out like Garrett Crochet's 2024 did.

Former two-time All-Star Joey Gallo requested his release from the White Sox as he wants to become a pitcher. Good thing the Sox decided not be a part of that sideshow.

Finally, it is Monday so that means a Minor League Monday report going over the Sox Spring Breakout Showcase and an update on top 15 pitching prospect Mason Adams' elbow injury.

How the Padres possibly trading Dylan Cease could help the White Sox attempt to deal Luis Robert Jr Mar 14, 2025

Show notes

The Sox reportedly still want to move Luis Robert Jr. before Opening Day but have no trade partner. The San Diego Padres reportedly will only trade Dylan Cease if they can get an offensive upgrade in the outfield and a young pitcher. The Chicago White Sox could help a contender in that area by offering Luis Robert Jr. and a pitcher from the depth they have to the Padres in a three-team deal with the third team getting Cease and the Sox getting the prospect return they desire.

Tune in to hear host Todd Welter's suggestion for how that could work.

Then prospect Chase Meidroth has been getting the recent starts at shortstop in spring training. This might be a hint that he wins the starting job.

Finally, the White Sox prospects play in a marquee matchup this Sunday against the Colorado Rockies in the Spring Breakout Showcase.

Show notes

Baseball Isn't Boring's Courtney Finnicum was recently in Arizona checking out Chicago White Sox spring training. She goes over with host Todd Welter her surprise regarding the team not naming Colson Montgomery the Opening Day shortstop, the front office still motivated to trade Luis Robert Jr, who has been great in camp and who has not, and why Mike Clevinger on the roster is just gross.

Colson Montgomery will not be the Chicago White Sox Opening Day shortstop and that is okay Mar 11, 2025

Show notes

The Chicago White Sox announced Colson Montgomery has been re-assigned to Triple A despite it feeling like the starting shortstop position being skewed in his favor. This is actually a good thing for one of the team's top prospects development, and not a major reason to be concerned about him--at least for now.

Host Todd Welter also tackles a lot of good that happened in yesterday's 10-3 victory including Martin Perez making his case to be the Opening Day starter. Finally, another publication gave the Sox farm system a rave review, however there should be caution when it comes to believing the hype because the organization struggles to develop players to have sustained success.
