Episode Notes
Rundown
- [Intro] After losing another series to Cleveland dropping to 8-22 vs. AL Central, are the Chicago White Sox concerned about their division record? Or is it still too soon in the rebuild cycle to be overly worried?
- [5:21] Plenty of roster transactions for the White Sox this past weekend as they are running out of fresh arms. What's the plan to help manager Will Venable have enough arms to finish 2025?
- [13:31] Did you know that Lenyn Sosa now has an above average wRC+ in 2025? Despite his overly aggressive approach, Sosa appears to be hitting well enough to merit being considered as a regular going into 2026.
- [28:45] Fan question about Colson Montgomery and if this is the best rookie position player season since Jose Abreu?
@soxmachine_josh is Colson Montgomery going to have the best rookie season for a Sox position player since Jose Abreu? Right now he has a higher wRC+ than Eloy and he’s certainly going to surpass Eloy in WAR for his rookie season.
