Rundown:
- [Intro] Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz explains the rationale of trading Luis Robert Jr. to the New York Mets. James Fegan asks Getz about Luisangel Acuna's expected playing time and what's next for Getz this offseason.
- [11:47] What is Luis Robert Jr.'s lasting legacy with the White Sox? The potential was real and flashed on several occasions, but is it all right to feel that the whole experience was lacking?
- [24:16] Why did this trade happen now? That's the question former White Sox catcher AJ Pierzynski is asking on his show, Foul Territory. Josh, James, and Jim attempt to provide clarity on Getz's rationale, even though it doesn't appear the White Sox are marching to a meaningful goal in 2026.
- [38:46] Finally, with the White Sox now finding themselves with extra cash, how would you spend $20 million with the options left in free agency?
