Sox In The Basement

Jake Burger Enjoys A Good Troll

Last week White Sox infielder Jake Burger put out video of his workouts at second base. This week he joins us to explain that while a positional shift is possible, he also likes to stir the pot. We talk with the troll-loving former first round draft pick about his new attitude towards social media, why Gavin Sheets is his best friend on the team and how even a pro athlete can drop a couple pop-ups in the same game. One thing is certain by the end of this interview: Jake Burger loves a good laugh!
