Show Notes
The White Sox are adding a top-ranked international prospect to their farm system with the signing of Yoelqui Céspedes. And that might not be all, as they could have interest in Oscar Colas, a "Shohei Ohtani-esque" two-way player. To discuss how the White Sox landed Céspedes and break down what fans should expect should they sign Colas, Chuck Garfien brings in Baseball America senior editor Ben Badler. Later, Chuck is joined by James Fox, co-host of the Future Sox podcast and writer for Southside Sox, who has even more info on Céspedes and Colas.
