About this episode
This episode is presented by Ankin Law - Injury Law Made Personal.
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.
