White Sox Business: A show about the Chicago White Sox

Jane the Virgin and James have a lot in common, including that fact that they're both still virgins...actually, we might need to fact check that one. I've not watched JTV. After Jimmy briefly synopsizes Jane the Virgin, the duo dive into the greatest trade in Chicago White Sox franchise history, Jon Garland for Matt Karchner (4:55). Why is this trade the greatest in the storied Sox history? Well, listen and find out. Oh, also, the guys deliver perspective on the increased value of prospects and embracing analytics during this time (10:45). White Sox Business' magnum opus is here (well...maybe until Monday); Tommy and Jimmy each draft a team of current White Sox players, and we want you to decide who the better GM is (18:55)!

James has bruised elbows from all the elbow daps (Elps? Baps?) exchanged at his family's Easter feast. The only Fegan without bruised elbows is Tiago. Poor Tiago. Tommy and Jimmy explore the minutia of a new baseball proposal that champions new divisions (5:00). How would the Sox fair in a division comprised of the Dodgers, Reds, Indians and Angels? The guys discuss The Time's Daryl Van Schouwen's, a real reporter, Carlos Rodon piece (16:30). Is there a scenario where Rodon and Kopech play in a truncated season? IT'S TIAGO TIME, OH YEAH (24:45)!Follow Tom on Twitter: @TomFornelliFollow James on Twitter: @JRFeganFollow Stonewall Jackson on Twitter: @WriteSoxSave 40% off your first-year subscription to The Athletic by visiting: theathletic.com/southside Hosted on Acast.

Tom and I are accepting applications from agents to represent Tiago Fegan since James is too timid and incompetent to properly steer his son's career to fecundation. The guys drop an update on the Eloy Jimenez endorsed "We're Not Playing" initiative in Chicago, despite being down with MLB's Arizona plan (7:00). The guys play a round of 10-Ty Questions and guess what; James is really good at it (19:30)! DID TIAGO ACCEPT A TRANSFER (26:30)?

Tom and James kickoff today's show by recapping Chicago mayor, Lori Lightfoot's, and Chicago sports teams' "We're Not Playing" initiative (3:30). And after, White Sox Business remembers late broadcaster Ed Farmer, and though the guys have few stories with Farmer, they recite tales from those close to him, including Paul Konerko and Darrin Jackson (6:30). Tommy and Jimmy react to Ken Rosenthal's feature on MLB's attempt at starting the baseball season despite the path being littered with obstacles (16:55). Last but certainly not least, the fruit of James' loins, Tiago Fegan, continues his ambition of being the best FIFA 20 created player ever (24:00).Save 40% off your first-year subscription to The Athletic by visiting: theathletic.com/southsideFollow Tom on Twitter: @TomFornelliFollow James on Twitter: @JRFeganFollow the guy who follows Tom: @WriteSox Hosted on Acast.

Three days away from what would have been the start of the MLB season, the lack of baseball has caused Tom to lament meaningless spring games, while James spent the weekend eating Red Lobster for the first time. With little happening around the ball club, Tom and James discuss The Athletic's Chicago sports poll that named the White Sox as the team most likely to win a championship next. Major League Baseball is committing to paying its minor leaguers during the COVID-19 interruption, but that's still only $400 a week...how are the players handling it? Plus, Tom and James discuss what they've been doing besides playing FIFA. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
