Jerry Reinsdorf’s White Sox Way

Jerry Reinsdorf doesn't care. How else could the same people stay in positions of power within the White Sox for decades with poor results? Can fan ire sway the billionaire? How about a Reverse Boycott? Only what matters to Jerry will bring about actual change. So, what is that? Let's get into the weeds and bring in the Sox Nerd in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

White Sox Trades & Lies

The Sox Nerd also reveals a White Sox record that one departing pitcher may keep forever in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

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!"
