Rundown

- [6:46] With a 23-24 record post All-Star Break, are the White Sox closer to contending than initially thought? While the crew doesn't see a Manny Machado / Bryce Harper situation like in 2019, there's a debate if the White Sox should change their sights this offseason. Instead of just looking for cheap, veteran fits to fill out the roster like they have done recently, should the White Sox look to make more meaningful upgrades. Especially what lies ahead with the 2027 season possibly impacted by CBA negotiations.

- [39:51] If you missed the play because of football, Will Robertson made one of the best defensive plays this season. Is his home run robbery the best play for the White Sox?
- [43:32] Series Preview: Tampa Bay Rays
- [50:32] Around MLB: Sox Machine Fantasy League, the home run Karen incident, and the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to struggle
