Sox In The Basement

The White Sox Weary

Rick Hahn is spinning yarns about the return for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo López. The post-Crosstown hangover is worse for some more than others. It's also possible we almost fought a baby in the stands. At least Nancy Faust kept everyone happy on Tuesday! It's been a crazy week for these White Sox fans, and we'll break it all down in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

White Sox Prepare For The Sell-Off

The White Sox made a clear statement in Minnesota this past weekend: "It's Ovah." Now comes a sell-off of assets and an attempt to change the franchise's direction. Do any potential trades matter, though, if the same people that got us here are still in charge? We look at potential trade partners, available players, the clown show Pedro Grifol put on this weekend and expected shenanigans to come in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

Illogical White Sox Logic

A straw poll finds that most White Sox fans are in agreement of what needs to happen next, with the exception of their valuation of Eloy Jimenez. How do you look at the Sox hitter after factoring in injuries? The puzzling decision not to use the IL may only be matched by the reasoning behind Tim Anderson batting in the 2-spot these days. The Sox Nerd also finds an eclipse in the 2024 schedule in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

White Sox Trade Realities & Fantasies

The second half of a terrible White Sox season begins with trade rumors and the front office inexplicably still intact. We let you the listener chime in with ideas and questions, while explaining what a "Lucas Giolito to the Dodgers" rumor really means. Our friend James Fox of FutureSox gives us a surprise trade piece the Sox should move instead of Giolito, and takes us behind the scenes of this year's White Sox Draft in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

A Typical White Sox Week

Luis Robert Jr seems to have injured himself during the Homerun Derby, which was an absolute mess to watch. The White Sox had a very Rick Hahn Draft. Or was it a Kenny Williams Draft? It sure seemed like a typical draft for the White Sox. We'll break down the White Sox picks, have Dave "Sox Nerd" Marran blow your mind with All-Star tidbits, and listen to the most positive White Sox fan alive! For the 500th time we present "30 Minutes of Sox!"

White Sox Keepers

The very real prospects of a Luis Robert, Jr. win in the Home Run Derby along with an ingenious plan to take money from Jerry's pocket (and maybe even take the team over) should be reasons for Sox fans to be happy.  A rundown of who gets traded and who gets kept at the trade deadline drags up some typical reasons for Sox fans to be worried. Keep 'em, trade 'em, launch 'em...drink it all in during "30 Minutes of Sox!"

White Sox Need More Fireworks

After some recent duds, including one on a unique night to go to The Rate, the White Sox need to find more pop quickly. We ask if the coaching staff or player wives are more likely to fix some issues. We're also asking is you still want Tim Anderson batting high up in the order. Plus, celebrate another snub that justifies that chip on every White Sox fan's shoulder in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

James Fox of FutureSox talks the upcoming MLB Draft, the type of player the White Sox generally target, the state of pitching depth in the minors and what could fix a low-rated farm system.
