Sox In The Basement

The White Sox drafting well is important, but what they do after the draft will say more about the future. Does Chris Getz' track record suggest anything about how this plays out? Or will Sox fans just have to wait and hope things...and players...develop for the best. The Sox Nerd pay homage to Bobby Jenks and recaps some notable beef from the Sox' past all in 30 minutes oh White Sox talk. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

July will bring the All Star Game and a weekend celebration around the 2005 World Championship team, but there are more important things to look for this month when watching the current White Sox roster. A couple of true ballplayers have emerged, and a few guys are on the cusp of joining them as true members of the next core. There are series to be one and careers to be impacted forever this month.

The next few weeks have a lot of different offerrings for the fanbase at the ballpark. So, what gets you out to a White Sox game? We're also asking if this team has a late-season burst of wins in it, if anyone wants Luis Robert Jr for the second half and what Jerry Reinsdorf's lair looks like in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

The White Sox have made a great deal of moves over the past week as the team has gone into a pre-trade dealine mode. Propsects and possible trade pieces look to dominate playing time and the roster. We talk about the neames to watch, why the Andrew Vaughn trade is amazing, and a young pitcher in the bullpen to watch closely. Enjoy "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

ANDREW VAUGHN IS GONE!! That matters! Aaron Civale arrives. That matters! Grant Taylor matters! We know that Chase Meidroth, Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero matter. James Fox of Future Sox joins in the discussion to talk about the other players that matter and who might matter real soon, including what type of return in the next big trade might matter the most.

The White Sox have some real ballplayers and the youth movement is suddenly on after this past weekend. We have a perplexing question about Joshua Palacios, though. It goes something like "why is Joshua Palacios stealing at bats from Edgar Quero?" Another question has to do with next season. Are the White Sox closer to getting out of the basement in the AL Central than previously thought? Enjoy "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

Jerry Reinsdorf is selling his team. It could happen between 4 and 9 years from now. So are White Sox fans in The Good Place or The Bad Place? We break down the real reason for the deal and if there is any good to find in it for the fanbase. Meanwhile Kyle Teal makes his debut and the Sox Nerd joins us as well in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Jerry Reinsdorf had another bad day this week as the Chicago Fire swooped in with a privately owned stadium for The 78. Turns out threats to move your baseball team and demands for public funding are so 1980's. Meanwhile Luis Robert Jr looks cooked and the only question remaining is what kind of team would give anything up for him. We tackle these topics and more in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

The Miguel Vargas turnaround continues to astound, but is he the prototype for the ideal White Sox hitter? The return for the Matt Thaiss trade matches other acquisitions, and the internal hitters that are performing have some traits that are starting to define the Sox offensive type. But this new White Sox way may have a flaw. The Sox Nerd talks catchers, homers and the Pope while Chris trolls Twins fans and sets his expectations for the rest of this season in 30 minutes of White Sox.

Now Will Venable gets to set a lineup that looks a lot like what we were suggesting months ago.

There is a reason the White Sox had to sign a 5th starter rather than promote from within. The arms down on the farm aren't quite ready. Some of the bats are, though, but supporting teammates for the next wave of talent is needed sooner rather than later. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

Will Venable has been trying something new with his lineups. It isn't old school. It isn't new school. The White Sox manager is stacking OBP because he has an incomplete lineup. In Cincinnati it actually worked very well. We also update the White Sox Gatekeeping Affair from last Saturday night as it becomes more apparent that there may be a security issue at the ballpark.

After some fans get denied entry with valid tickets, we're asking what the White Sox are doing. You would think this team would want people in the ballpark. Tim Elko is here and you can add him to a list of players that should be featured the rest of the season. Very soon, though, decisions will have to be made as a roster crunch approaches.

A vacation away from the White Sox brings stark observations from watching other MLB teams in action. Edgar Quero is so good his manager has even moved Andrew Vaughn out of the 4-spot a couple times. (Is he allowed to do that?) We also ask a question about clubhouse morale that Chris Getz needs to ask if he wants to find any positive momentum in this season.

Chase Meidroth played well in AAA and was elevated to the majors. So far, so good. One thing he does well is get on base. Another AAA prospect is putting up similar numbers but hasn't gotten the call. We ask what the White Sox are waiting for as several everyday players are hitting in the .100's with no end in sight. Plus, we take a look at the ownership structure of the White Sox and still believe the Ishbias will own the team eventually.

With the exception of a couple $15,000,000 per year players, everyone on this team is being paid low enough that you could justify benching, optioning or releasing them. So, why are so many poor performers still in the lineup daily when kids are playing better in AAA? As Chase Meidroth is elevated to the White Sox we ask why Edgar Quero, Kyle Teel and others aren't getting a shot yet. How long will it take?

You just need eyes, a look at their baseball card and personal detachment. We're here to tell you guys like Miguel Vargas, Andrew Vaughn and even Luis Robert Jr are what they are.

You can't get too high or too low this season with the 2025 White Sox. You may also have a hard time being sure of much when evaluating them. Let's talk about what you can look for and enjoy in an up-and-down season that just got started. Maybe we can also define what a good pitching start actually looks like, and who needs to step it up immediately if they want to be on this team come June.

Yeah, we kind of had to title the show that way. Who knows when you get to say something like that again?! The pitching is really good to start the year. The hitting is hit or miss. The torpedo bat is a thing now in MLB, but would it help anyone on the White Sox?

Opening Day was a lot more than just a victory. We also saw a very new White Sox team. Former White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson's interview, along with two cutthroat DFA moves, put a spotlight on a very different organizational philosophy. No matter if you think it matters, the 2025 White Sox are different that what you have been rooting for most of your life. Win or lose, this will be a unique season.

Kyle Teel and possibly even Edgar Quero could make it to Chicago this year, but they will not be in the bigs on Opening Day. We explain why there could still be open competition for other spots on the White Sox roster even if the catcher position was already decided before camp began.

Early results don't match organizational hopes this Spring Training. The plan at shortstop has back spasms. The plan at third is being outplayed by a lot of contenders for that position. Some of the younger starting pitching is begging for real consideration. The story of the Spring may be if performance will win (or lose) a job with the big club this season.
