About this listen

George Springer could have completed the last White Sox rebuild. Instead, his three-run home run sent the Blue Jays to the World Series. Hopefully, this current rebuild does not miss out on the chance to add elite players like Springer.

Host Todd Welter dissects the Chicago White Sox's recent struggles, from questionable roster moves to the impact of Luis Robert Jr.'s $20 million contract. He addresses your mailbag questions and comments. He explores potential infield lineups featuring prospects like Colson Montgomery and Billy Carlson, while addressing Andrew Vaughn's role in the team's performance. The discussion shifts to Jerry Reinsdorf's ownership, balancing criticism with hope for future changes. Welter also examines the fleeting nature of contention windows, drawing parallels to the crosstown Cubs.
