We just found $50,000,000 for Chris Getz to spend AFTER Jerry Reinsdorf reduces the White Sox to the bottom five in payroll next season. How did we do it? We just followed the blueprint of bottom-feeding MLB franchises and did some simple math. Time for the White Sox GM to prove he can do his job. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen.

Chris Getz spoke. He probably shouldn't do that. We ask how one of the dealers could be confused by the cards he was dealt this season. Our suggestion is the next time he speaks, it should be with honesty. As the White Sox march to historic losing records, where is the professional pride? Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park!

The 2024 White Sox are the worst baseball team you have ever seen. We would rather talk about the 2025 White Sox, who better not be this bad. They don't have to be. It all depends on the front office being smarter this off-season...and ruthless. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share.

The White Sox can finish the 2024 MLB season with the worst winning percentage in the modern baseball era. Can this team of ragtag misfits put Jerry Reinsdorf's failure into the history books? We also have fans asking why Yoan Moncada would even join the team in September and if Luis Robert Jr should be playing. Let's tackle some ideas thrown our way, hear from The Sox Nerd, and have a few laughs entering the last month of the season in "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At T...

We take a fresh look at the hiring and first season of Chris Getz to ask if this season is on him, and if he should remain as the General Manager of the White Sox.

Before the availability of advanced statistics, would people be as critical of the White Sox? We use a time machine back to 1986 to ask if fans recognized bad the same way as they do in the modern era, and look for any rays of hope on the 2024 White Sox. One thing is for certain. They don't make ballplayers like the used to. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe. Share. Call 708-459-8406 and leave your comments and questions for the next episode!

What's up with Miguel Vargas? The centerpiece received for Erick Fedde, Michael Kopech and Tommy Pham is not doing so well to start his White Sox career. We start going around the playing field looking for those we expect to see on this team in 2025 and find some target areas that will require additions by Chris Getz.

The White Sox seem to be evaluating players and hoping to turn their new efforts into a few more wins. Meanwhile, Major League Baseball wants to force starting pitchers to pitch longer.

The Grady Sizemore (temporary) era may have just begun, but you can see some legit changes in how players are viewed by the organization. More consistant lineups have produced greater offensive results and roles seem defined. As Chris Gets gets ready to speed date every managerial candidate he can prior to the 2025 season, we can already see the type of skipper that would work best for the White Sox. Can Jerry Reinsdorf stay out of the way? Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. ...

Can the interim skipper finally move forward with Chris Getz's baseball philosophy? What should we see in the final two months of the season? Does it matter if Jerry Reinsdorf still owns the team? Hear what we have heard, along with mid-episode fireworks, in "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought t...

The White Sox snapped a 21-game losing streak on Tuesday night. Does it matter? After this season, no amount of support from lame-duck manager Pedro Grifol can reverse the failure of White Sox majority owner Jerry Reinsdorf. His lack of action lately, for whatever the reason, is already harming future seasons as a fanbase waits for the end of his reign. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. Subscribe.

Scott Merkin of MLB.com joins us for an in-depth look at who is likely leaving the White Sox in the next week, what the current team plan seems to be and the goals for 2025. Is Pedro Grifol leaving? Can anyone pay the prospect price for Garrett Crochet? Is there a name on the trade block you may not expect? And don't just look at prospects as the only possible return in these deals. Chris Getz may also be looking at MLB rosters as the trade deadline approaches. Brought to you by Cork And Kerry ...

Brooks Baldwin, Nick Senzel and Chuckie Robinson join the lineup. Danny Mendick and Lenyn Sosa head to AAA. Martin Maldonado probably heads into retirement. It is just the beginning of a second half that should feature a youth movement and more examples of a different organizational focus on personnel. We're breaking it down and explaining why the White Sox keep rejecting offers for Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert Jr in "30 Minutes of Sox!" Brought to you by Cork And Kerry At The Park! Listen. ...
