Guest: Dan Szymborski, Fangraphs The Rundown: Our best friend of the podcast, Dan Szymborski, joins the show to share his thoughts about the 2018 White Sox season. How players like Giolito and Moncada are not providing enough clarity with their play, why it might be best for the White Sox to stand pat this off-season, and how the Sox may have already lost the Chris Sale trade. We recap the Orioles series where we see Reynaldo Lopez continue his quality pitching in his last five starts. Daniel Palka keeps smashing home runs, but is he evolving as a hitter? Is 2018 finally the year that Avisail Garcia hits 20 homers in a season? Finally, we tackle your questions in P.O. Sox. Presented by SeatGeek Learn more about your ad choices.
