Sox In The Basement

After some fans get denied entry with valid tickets, we're asking what the White Sox are doing. You would think this team would want people in the ballpark. Tim Elko is here and you can add him to a list of players that should be featured the rest of the season. Very soon, though, decisions will have to be made as a roster crunch approaches.

A secret table with an add-on for your bobblehead. New special tickets that don't include watching the game. The new fan trend in the neighborhood. We've got some stories that popped up recently in and around the field some of us still call Comiskey Park. What is happening at Rate Field? Plus, the success of two Rule-5 players begs a new question for the White Sox front office. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

Will Miguel Vargas work out? Is the team right to stick with Andrew Vaughn? Can Colson Montgomery be fixed? Is Tim Elko not ready yet? The answers depends on your belief in White Sox talent evaluation. Either they are going to prove us all wrong, or unfortunately very right.

Travel back in time to 1992 as we find an old, faded newspaper poll on the White Sox. Over 30 years ago fans wrote in their opinions on the team, players, front office and ownership. Their take in the 90's may give you a solid chuckle as we try to understand perplexing non-action being taken by those running today's team.

A vacation away from the White Sox brings stark observations from watching other MLB teams in action. Edgar Quero is so good his manager has even moved Andrew Vaughn out of the 4-spot a couple times. (Is he allowed to do that?) We also ask a question about clubhouse morale that Chris Getz needs to ask if he wants to find any positive momentum in this season.

James Fox of FutureSox joins Ed for one more show and talks about how quickly the hook comes for bad players and who is waiting to take their place. What's the real issue with White Sox TV revenue and does Danny Wirtz have a real beef with Jerry, or have mistakes been made all around? No rabbit ears needed for 30 Minutes of Sox!

James Fox of FutureSox sits down and talks about finding bright spots on a team with a dim outlook. Will the inevitable roster turnover that is coming be limited to easy decisions or will Chris Getz make some tough ones too? The catching situation is examined by James and Ed while the Sox Nerd gives you a history lesson on White Sox catchers...and sausage.

Chase Meidroth played well in AAA and was elevated to the majors. So far, so good. One thing he does well is get on base. Another AAA prospect is putting up similar numbers but hasn't gotten the call. We ask what the White Sox are waiting for as several everyday players are hitting in the .100's with no end in sight. Plus, we take a look at the ownership structure of the White Sox and still believe the Ishbias will own the team eventually.

With the exception of a couple $15,000,000 per year players, everyone on this team is being paid low enough that you could justify benching, optioning or releasing them. So, why are so many poor performers still in the lineup daily when kids are playing better in AAA? As Chase Meidroth is elevated to the White Sox we ask why Edgar Quero, Kyle Teel and others aren't getting a shot yet. How long will it take?

Why can a White Sox fan see the problem way before the team can see it? It isn't difficult to evaluate some key pieces on this roster. You just need eyes, a look at their baseball card and personal detachment. We're here to tell you guys like Miguel Vargas, Andrew Vaughn and even Luis Robert Jr are what they are. We're also presenting a few names we would like to see elevated to the big league roster in the next month or so. Are we wrong? Time to prove it.

You can't get too high or too low this season with the 2025 White Sox. You may also have a hard time being sure of much when evaluating them. Let's talk about what you can look for and enjoy in an up-and-down season that just got started. Maybe we can also define what a good pitching start actually looks like, and who needs to step it up immediately if they want to be on this team come June.

Yeah, we kind of had to title the show that way. Who knows when you get to say something like that again?! The pitching is really good to start the year. The hitting is hit or miss. The torpedo bat is a thing now in MLB, but would it help anyone on the White Sox? We tackle these topics, watch Jake Eder get sold to the Angels for cash and ask who loses a job when some spring injuries heal.

Opening Day was a lot more than just a victory. We also saw a very new White Sox team. Former White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson's interview, along with two cutthroat DFA moves, put a spotlight on a very different organizational philosophy. No matter if you think it matters, the 2025 White Sox are different that what you have been rooting for most of your life. Win or lose, this will be a unique season.

Brandon Drury broke his thumb and got released. Drew Thorpe is getting Tommy John surgery. Jacob Amaya is seemingly the starting shortstop. No...really. Only the White Sox know how to suck hope out of Spring Training before a season starts.

If you asked Chris Getz who he wanted to see make the 2025 White Sox Opening Day Roster, it wouldn't be what sits in front of him now. While the team has shown they will reward surprising pitchers, can they do the same with their infield? We attempt to create the lineup that should head to Chicago.

Kyle Teel and possibly even Edgar Quero could make it to Chicago this year, but they will not be in the bigs on Opening Day. We explain why there could still be open competition for other spots on the White Sox roster even if the catcher position was already decided before camp began. The only thing that should matter is if the team rewards good play over stature this season.

Mike Clevinger to be the closer? Brandon Drury an everyday player? Kyle Teel winning an Opening Day gig? The White Sox have four rotation spots locked in and several players making a case to do something unexpected for them in 2025.

Colson Montgomery is not making the Opening Day roster. Names like Vaughn, Drury, Sosa, Maton, Bergolla, Gray, Rojas and even Miguel Vargas are all fighting for a spot in the infield. Who has the upper hand? Plus, we ask if the White Sox will meet some pretty standard offensive marks in 2025 that they could not hit last season in "30 Minutes of Sox!"

We're reading your takes on Spring Training thus far as a fanbase starts picking their favorites to make the team. We also ask who would be leading if results were the deciding factor in filling out the 2025 roster. The Sox Nerd features Davis Martin, who may be starting on Opening Day.
