Sox In The Basement

Brooks Baldwin, Nick Senzel and Chuckie Robinson join the lineup. Danny Mendick and Lenyn Sosa head to AAA. Martin Maldonado probably heads into retirement. It is just the beginning of a second half that should feature a youth movement and more examples of a different organizational focus on personnel.

James Fox of FutureSox not only previews the White Sox and their upcoming MLB Draft, but also tells you the group you should expect to see join the big league club in the back-half of 2024 and by the start of next season. We go inside how the selection process is different under Chris Getz, and give the three likely names that the White Sox could take at #5 this weekend. Plus, the only team that would probably give the world for Luis Robert Jr doesn't have enough to give. That's why we still believe both Crochet and Robert will remain after the trade deadline.

Three ballplayers head from AA to AAA this week, each with their own path. Ky Bush is part of the most positive thing this season. He is a pitcher in an organization of promising pitchers. Edgar Quero is a budding star catcher, but the jump to MLB is hardest at his position Then we have a guy just making quick jumps level-to-level in spite of the way it normally goes for White Sox development.

The national baseball media is openly trying to trade him to a contender. His own manager has already idicated he cannot keep up a regular workload in the second half. Insiders insist the White Sox struck out on an extension, but the message from those around the team is mixed. We get into the weeds on what is likely happening with Garrett Crochet and why he may not be at peak value.

As June comes to a close it is a good practice to take a fresh look at a few everyday players on the Chicago White Sox. What exactly is Korey Lee? Sure he has been a bright spot in a dismal season, but what is the long-term role of the young catcher? We're also looking at the Andrew Vaughn / Gavin Sheets paradox.

The doom and gloom narrative is that a long rebuild is afoot. We say nonsense and poppycock! The White Sox have the arms that allow for a quicker turnaround for a front office with vision.

As alluded to on our last episode, the White Sox promoted straight from AA and started Drew Thorpe on Tuesday night. Corey Julks continues to lead off with Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham nearing a return. What will the White Sox do with their outfield? The real question, though, is if any of these young guys matter while Pedro Grifol remains manager of the team.

The White Sox are in the middle of a historically bad season, but Major League Baseball may be on the cusp of their next historically big scandal. Several players were suspended for gambling, including a former Sox farmhand. One player is banned for life. The timing of the announcement has us questioning what is really going on.

It is one thing to sell off players. The smart teams are shopping while selling. Dual injuries to Baltimore Orioles starters got us thinking about a trade, and what would be acceptable if a quality pitcher was shipped off to the East Coast. Meanwhile, Pedro Grifol had a few quotes that we can't let slide by without pointing out that they were bold-faced lies. One of the best parts about baseball keeps the White Sox skipper in check.

No matter how bad the team plays, the White Sox will always give you something absurd to talk about. After Pedro Grifol projected a lot of his own shortcomings on his players, a notable group of them pushed back.

In the modern baseball era a tale has been told that teams must tear down, acquire prospects and fail for years. If they do this, they'll win a championship. We're here to say that system doesn't work as well as some think. Rather than consider moving names like Crochet, Robert, Fedde and others, the White Sox should consider a different way to contend yearly in Major League Baseball.
