How are the Chicago White Sox a product of their AL Central environment? Dec 13, 2022

Show notes

How are the Chicago White Sox a product of their AL Central environment? If the Cleveland Guardians or Minnesota Twins were spending big money would the White Sox follow suit and try to compete? If the AL Central behaved more like the NL East, would the Chicago White Sox will be more aggressive? Several free agents have been signed and we are now seeing trades happening throughout MLB. When will the dust settle in just the right way for the White Sox to make a move? Also, Guaranteed Rate Field might be getting a few new spots to drink your sorrows away. Would the White Sox ever seriously consider signing Nelson Cruz? It sure seems like he would sign himself, if he could.

Is Tim Anderson just as frustrated as the fans are with the Chicago White Sox organization? Dec 12, 2022

Show notes

Is Tim Anderson just as frustrated as the fans are with the Chicago White Sox organization? Some buzz was created last week when a Tweet about Anderson wearing something other than a White Sox jersey eventually received a 'like' by Tim Anderson, or someone controlling his account. It could be just pointless drama but maybe Anderson wants to chance a championship and does not see it happening on the South Side. Plus, with what shortstops are making in free agency, maybe the Sox simply can't afford the supposed face of the franchise. Also, what is the real motivation for Jerry Reinsdorf to spend like other owners throughout baseball and build a winning team? If the Sox are profitable right now... why do anything different? The White Sox added outfield depth in Victor Reyes and selected relief pitcher Nick Avila in last week's Rule 5 draft.

Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf made a joke but it was not very funny Dec 09, 2022

Show notes

Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf made a joke but it was not very funny and general manger Rick Hahn delivers a message that is destined to fail. The Chicago White Sox won the 2022 Selig Award for Philanthropic Excellence from MLB in recognition of the Amateur City Elite (ACE) program, which for 16 years has provided educational and baseball resources for underserved kids in Chicago. Sox owner, Jerry Reisndorf, was on hand for the ceremony and tried his hand at humor. Reinsdorf said, “It’s so much more important than winning a baseball game, which is good because we don’t win that many.” It was supposed to be a joke and probably was viewed that way during the ceremony but it was the wrong time and during the wrong week. The White Sox have failed to spend any money to seriously upgrade their roster and the owner decided to make a joke about winning games. Unfortunately, the joke has been on the fans for a long time. The only thing that Reinsdorf is serious about when it comes to success and the White Sox is that the team is profitable. What a joke.

It's the season of hope and the Chicago White Sox are asking fans to be patient as the dust settles Dec 08, 2022

Show notes

It's the season of hope and the Chicago White Sox are asking fans to be patient as the dust settles. The White Sox have yet to be terribly active at all during this off-season and the MLB Winter Meetings did not produce the excitement Sox fans hoped for. The organization seems to be content on waiting until the perfect deal is laid before them. It sounds like the White Sox are still focused on operating via the trade to get better but there needs to be other things to happen throughout the rest of MLB before the Sox get what they need. Are the White Sox still in their competitive window? If they are, they sure do not act like it. Rick Hahn and the front office are hopeful players bounce back to accustomed levels and stay healthy. Does that strategy separate you from the other American League teams? Also, Pedro Grifol spoke to the media in San Diego and seems to be excited that White Sox players are participating in the World Baseball Classic.

Chicago White Sox GM, Rick Hahn, said a lot of things without saying much at all Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

At the Winter Meetings Chicago White Sox GM, Rick Hahn, said a lot of things without saying much at all. Are the White Sox looking to trade core players to get younger and set themselves up for success down the road? Maybe. Will the White Sox look to address needs via free agency? Perhaps. When will the White Sox orchestrate a trade to improve the roster? Wait and see. Rick Hahn was guarded in his comments but did seem to give off the impression that the White Sox will be waiting for other moves to occur throughout MLB before they act. What kind of market his Hahn waiting for? If they have a player they are targeting, why not just be proactive and address the need now instead of waiting for a market to hopefully emerge. Liam Hendriks is a player that other teams around baseball have been contacting the White Sox about with regards to a trade. Could Hendriks or even Tim Anderson be on the move this off-season?

Six years ago the Chicago White Sox traded away Chris Sale and chose a whole new direction Dec 06, 2022

Show notes

Six years ago the Chicago White Sox traded away Chris Sale and chose a whole new direction. On December 6, 2016 the Chicago White Sox began the great rebuild that was rumored during the season. White Sox ace, Chris Sale, was shipped to the Boston Red Sox for essentially Yoan Moncada and Michael Kopech. It was an exciting time for the White Sox fan base. The organization chose a direction and took a very bold step forward. Shortly after the trade, the Red Sox won the World Series while the White Sox are still waiting to win a playoff series. When, if ever, will White Sox fans see Kopech and Moncada reach their assumed potential? Also, the Mike Clevinger deal is official. Clevinger spoke to the media recently and seems to be very excited to be pitching on the South Side in 2023.

The MLB Winter Meetings are underway and the Chicago White Sox need to be busy Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

The MLB Winter Meetings are underway and the Chicago White Sox need to be busy. The White Sox have been active in the month of December in recent years. The organization has "won the offseason" a few times since 2016 but has produced zero ALCS or World Series appearances from the destinction. Will the Sox try to get creative via the trade or will they make a splash to fill one of their many voids? Michael Conforto's name keeps popping up. Jacob deGrom's new deal with the Texas Rangers should make a White Sox fan blush. The Sox have never spent anywhere near what deGrom got from Texas. Throwing money at problems is not the South Side way. Nickel and dining our way through the off-season is more of the approach we as Sox fans are used to. The Nomar Mazara, Edwin Encarnacion, Ivan Nova type deals is more our speed. The rumor season is also underway. Could the Kansas City Royals really trade Salvy Perez to the Sox and could Lucas Giolito be on his way to Tampa for Brandon Lowe? The Winter Meetings... a time of hope, wonder and sometimes irrational thinking.

The Chicago White Sox finalized their 2023 coaching staff with plenty of new faces and a few familiar ones Dec 02, 2022

Show notes

The Chicago White Sox finalized their 2023 coaching staff with plenty of new faces and a few familiar ones. Ethan Katz, Curt Hasler and Daryl Boston will be returning in 2023 but there are several new additions. Jose Castro will be the new hitting coach. Chris Johnson will be the new assistant hitting coach. Eddie Rodriguez will be the new third base coach. Mike Tosar will take on the role of major league field coordinator. Geoff Head will be the new senior director of sports performance. Daryl Boston is the longest tenured coach by far as he will embark on his 11th season as the first base coach. It was tough to see Jose Abreu in a Houston Astros jersey this past week. The Sox organization had some parting words and Abreu explained his decision in a press conference. The initial 2023 promotional schedule has been released. Bobbleheads, Hawaiian shirt, hockey jersey and more to look forward to this coming season.

Can Mike Clevinger return to form and are the risks worth the potential reward for the Chicago White Sox? Nov 30, 2022

Show notes

Can Mike Clevinger return to form and are the risks worth the potential reward for the Chicago White Sox? The host of Locked on Padres, Javier Reyes, joins the episode to provide his perspective on what Mike Clevinger did in a San Diego Padres uniform and what he could provide for the White Sox in 2023. What were some of the positives to Clevinger over the last few years and what were some of the low points? Why didn't things work out between the Padres and Mike Clevinger? Why did they let him walk after trading for him in August of 2020? Javier Reyes provides insight about Clevinger as a teammate as well as why he could be a good fit for the White Sox. It's a low risk, potential high reward move but only time will tell.
