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

Rundown:

• [Intro] Chris Getz pulled off a trade on Sunday as the Chicago White Sox acquired two right-handed pitchers in Jordan Hicks and David Sandlin. Getz shared how long he was working on this trade, the role Hicks will play with the White Sox, and how excited he is about adding another young pitcher like Sandlin. 
• [13:18] Jim, James, and Josh break down the trade. Why Sandlin is the big get, how the White Sox bullpen improves, and how refreshing it is to see the front office finally take on bad money for a chance to land a better prospect. 
• [32:03] Earlier in the weekend, the White Sox reportedly signed outfielder Austin Hays. A move that convinces Jim to now take the Over on 65.5 wins for the White Sox in 2026, as their Opening Day lineup appears to be much stronger than last year's edition. 
• [45:09] Sox Machine is celebrating 20 years covering the White Sox in 2026, with the official anniversary on February 1. Jim shares what it's been like writing about the White Sox daily for two decades.
