Rundown

• [Intro] The Chicago White Sox are 14-17 after sweeping the Los Angeles Angels. But they went May only 1.5 games back of Cleveland and Detroit for first place in the AL Central. They are 13-12 in their last 25 games. So how is the clubhouse feeling about this stretch? Do the White Sox believe they can stick around longer than expected?
• [17:33] Colson Montgomery ranks in the top three of many categories for American League shortstops. Should we pay him more attention to how he's been starting in 2026?
• [31:54] Davis Martin is performing like a Top 10 pitcher in MLB. Is he buying into his start in what could be his breakout season?
• [39:48] Drew Romo hit two home runs in his last game. Should the White Sox split up 50/50 playing time between Romo and Edgar Quero?
• [44:03] Braden Montgomery and Caleb Bonemer are raking to start 2026. Is a promotion incoming for both?
• [55:29] Series preview against San Diego Padres. If Anthony Kay struggles again, is it time to find another starting pitcher?

Rundown

• [Intro] Audio from the press conference held by Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz prior to the start of the Nationals series. His early thoughts on Munetaka Murakami, and if there have been discussions about a contract extension. Plus, injury updates on Kyle Teel and Tanner McDougal. Manager Will Venable explains the rationale of the White Sox DFA'ing Reese McGuire for Drew Romo.
• [9:51] James Fegan joins the show to recap the news and action from Rate Field. The offense's dependence on the home run was a factor in the series loss. Also, what's wrong with Jordan Leasure? Why replace McGuire with Romo? And how Kyle Teel is far more important than we originally thought (and we thought he was important).
• [30:46] Jim Margalus recaps the first month of 2026. Why the 11-17 start could have been worse. Looking at Munetaka Murakami's on pace stats, which is most likely to happen: 64 home runs, 115 RBI, 127 walks, or 237 strikeouts? Josh Nelson also shares his desire for the White Sox front office to make a decision on Grant Taylor's role on the pitching staff.
