As June comes to a close it is a good practice to take a fresh look at a few everyday players on the Chicago White Sox. What exactly is Korey Lee? Sure he has been a bright spot in a dismal season, but what is the long-term role of the young catcher? We're also looking at the Andrew Vaughn / Gavin Sheets paradox. Can this team really move forward with both of them in the lineup? The Sox Nerd gets deep on 1-run games too! Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share. Ca...

A tiny blurb from a trusted source paints the picture of Pedro Grifol departing this offseason for Skip Schumaker due to Tony La Russa's influence Then Tony gives a local interview acting like he has no influence? Something is fishy like a Marlins manager. We're on the case along with outlining storylines worth watching, such as Eloy Jimenez's inevitable end. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park!

The doom and gloom narrative is that a long rebuild is afoot. We say nonsense and poppycock! The White Sox have the arms that allow for a quicker turnaround for a front office with vision. You're not winning a World Series in 2025, but you can be a much different team without selling everyone off at this year's trade deadline. Listen as we build a realistic roster. Plus, Sox Nerd finds a south side connection to Willie Mays. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share...

A listener complaint gets Chris fired up and defending the idea that pitchers, not throwers, are the key to the White Sox once again becoming a professional baseball team. Why doesn't the speed of your fastball matter? Ask some of the more successful pitchers in MLB this year, and of course a couple guys who have not waivered on Drew Thorpe. Plus, Chris Getz spoke but did he really say anything? Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share. Call 708-459-8406 and leave ...

The Drew Thorpe debut shines a favorable light on the future of the White Sox rotation, but makes the unfavorable light on their lack of hitting all that more glaring. Steve Paradzinski of On Tap Sports Net talks about Garret Crochet's adjustments and Brian Bannister's impact. White Sox media continues to make an Ozzie Guillen dugout return a story that feels like it needs to come true. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

As alluded to on our last episode, the White Sox promoted straight from AA and started Drew Thorpe on Tuesday night. Corey Julks continues to lead off with Andrew Benintendi and Tommy Pham nearing a return. What will the White Sox do with their outfield? The real question, though, is if any of these young guys matter while Pedro Grifol remains manager of the team. We look at ways the team showed their stubborn tendencies again this week from Jerry Reinsdorf on down. Brought to you by Cork And K...

Our good friend James Fox of FutureSox returns to discuss if the White Sox are really going to trade away Luis Robert Jr and Garrett Crochet. What are the chances, and more importantly what should the team actually do? We also talk about the high-end pitching in AA and when it could arrive.

The White Sox are in the middle of a historically bad season, but Major League Baseball may be on the cusp of their next historically big scandal. Several players were suspended for gambling, including a former Sox farmhand. One player is banned for life. The timing of the announcement has us questioning what is really going on.

It is one thing to sell off players. The smart teams are shopping while selling. Dual injuries to Baltimore Orioles starters got us thinking about a trade, and what would be acceptable if a quality pitcher was shipped off to the East Coast. Meanwhile, Pedro Grifol had a few quotes that we can't let slide by without pointing out that they were bold-faced lies. One of the best parts about baseball keeps the White Sox skipper in check.

No matter how bad the team plays, the White Sox will always give you something absurd to talk about. After Pedro Grifol projected a lot of his own shortcomings on his players, a notable group of them pushed back. Now fans can choose to buy a PR push that the locker room has no issues with their manager or what they can see with their own eyes. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe.

At this point in the season, you are who you are. It's time for the White Sox to take a fresh look at the roster and hand out jobs to the most deserving players. Take a look at a solid lineup that can be created if you just conducted fresh job interviews. We're also asking the Sox Nerd what it was like watching the worst ending to a White Sox game in years!

What is more interesting to a White Sox fan? Would they rather watch Andrew Benintendi and Andrew Vaughn fail at the top of the order, or would they rather see what Korey Lee, Corey Julks, Dominic Fletcher and Nick Nastrini? The time is now to let the kids play and start holding the underperformers accountable. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

In the modern baseball era a tale has been told that teams must tear down, acquire prospects and fail for years. If they do this, they'll win a championship. We're here to say that system doesn't work as well as some think. Rather than consider moving names like Crochet, Robert, Fedde and others, the White Sox should consider a different way to contend yearly in Major League Baseball.

Is it predestined that the White Sox will make the same old mistakes and cling to players that they traded for instead of letting young talent prove themselves in the majors?

Something snaps when looking at recent White Sox lineups and leads to a compelling case for giving Ozzie Guillen another go at managing on the south side.

When your team is this bad, everyone starts looking at players they can pluck. Several names are already on the White Sox trading block. Do they all make sense for mid-season moves? What are we really going to get? We think the players being offered open a glimpse into Chris Getz's plan. At least, we hope he has a plan. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen.

Why is everyone in Chicago media turning on one of their own in John Schriffen? Maybe it is because he isn't one of their own. We'll explain why the Chicago Media Club is dogpiling on the new White Sox play-by-play man.

The late April addition of a journeyman pro sparked the White Sox over this past weekend. He may never help the White Sox make it to the postseason, but Tommy Pham matters to the development of a better team.

Would a radical idea for a new MLB draft help the White Sox or just give them another chance to prove their incompetence? Can the Sox Nerd even find anything interesting about this team?

Is Pedro Grifol the worst White Sox manager of your lifetime? He's checking all the boxes, even when he's being tossed from a game. Jerry Reinsdorf keeps trying his old tricks, but this time the billionaire doesn't seem to be crafty enough to even deliver a proper threat. As the White Sox continue to be historically bad, we ask why they also seem intent on not delivering any entertainment value. Join us for "30 Minutes of Sox!"

If you are looking for something to watch with hope, look no further than the rotation of the Chicago White Sox. Chris Flexen is out and two young pitchers with upside join a legit ace-in-the-making and a solid back-end veteran. Mike Clevinger may push out Mike Soroka soon and Drew Thorpe seems as inevitable as Thanos. Most managers could do something with these arms finally rising to the surface, but is Pedro Grifol the right guy? Recent decisions have us showing the White Sox skipper the door....

Former World Series champion A.J. Pierzynski is taking shots at the organization. Pedro Grifol is trying to put Gavin Sheets in the OF while his GM is signing Tommy Pham. Chris Getz is seemingly selling players for cash to gather cash for free agent purchases. Jerry Reinsdorf is moving his team coverage from one media company he owns by majority to another media company he owns by majority. What's next? A Campfire Milkshake scandal?

Oscar Colas may not be able to get an opportunity after the usual suspects went down with long-term injury, but that doesn't mean a few prospects with minor league track records can't get an extended look for the White Sox.

Flipping the White Sox roster into something competative is not that hard. It all depends on if Chris Getz sees what we see. Let us show you in "30 Minutes of Sox" that identifies the stories and players that still matter this season. We also think you can squeeze some more offense out of the current team.
