Major League Baseball's Winter Meetings run from 12/4-12/7 in San Diego, and we're prepping for what the White Sox should do - and will likely do - at the event. Andrew Borders covers the Sox for Overtime Heroics and joins us to give his best bet for a trade aquisition and trade chips he thinks are on the block. Meanwhile the retention of Daryl Boston on the coaching staff answers a long-asked question about the team. (We told you so.) Listen to "30 Minutes of Sox!"

The Chicago White Sox added Mike Clevinger to their starting rotation on a reported one year deal as Jose Abreu offically left the team for greener pastures. The starting pitcher should be a solid addition to the 2023 rotation. The length of the contract and current payroll restraints may point to the next move coming very soon. We break down what may happen next, explore Clevinger's value & learn more about him from Dave Marran, the Sox Nerd. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

Looking at the current White Sox roster, who do you trust on the mound? Even after Rick Hahn spent way too many resources on his bullpen, it still has issues. The starting rotation needs help. The question is how many arms need to be added? We find the guys we trust, the guys we're hopeful about and the guys who will likely not be relied upon in 2023.

After Rule 5 protections and arbitration tender decisions, the White Sox 40-man roster sits at 35. Looking only at positional players currently in the organization we ask the question "who do you trust?" There are lots of good reasons for optimism in 2023, even if the roster is incomplete. We go position-by-position to create a base lineup and identify a few target additions that could point the White Sox in the right direction. Brought to you by Family Waterproofing Solutions! Listen.

Reports are out on Tuesday 11/1 that Pedro Grifol is the new manager of the Chicago White Sox. In this updated episode, we break down the new skipper and ask some questions about the process. Meanwhile, Ozzie Guillen had two interviews. Kevin Long, Ron Washington & Carlos Mendoza also had at least one interview.

James Fox of FutureSox joins the show to explore a White Sox minor league system that has viable trade pieces that could help a re-shaping of the major league roster. They also have a couple future pieces unlikely to be moved unless the return is big, including their 2023 rightfielder Oscar Colas. We also peer into the managerial search as we imagine it behind closed doors at 35th & Shields. There is name other than Joe Espada that could be available after the World Series.

Can we find the positives in weird rumors that Jim Thome could be the next manager? Is it possible to stay positive looking at projections for starting position players?
