Brooks Boyer, Chief Revenue and Marketing Officer for the White Sox, recently gave public support for the much maligned John Schriffen. That's his job. We're here to tell you why he really did that. Schriffen isn't just the White Sox TV play-by-play guy. He's also seemingly part of a larger marketing plan you may have already figured out. Plus, the last week of MLB's regular season is about as exciting as it can be if your team isn't involved. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

James Fox of FutureSox joins us to take a look at the 2025 season. Did the White Sox accomplish what you hoped for? Let's talk about the new core, the moves that will likely be made and what the team should (and can easily) do to make this team far more interesting in 2026.

A week ago the White Sox losing 100 games seemed silly, but now they need to fix this slide before it becomes a reality. We take a look at starting pitching, asking if Martin Perez should return on his option and how many additional pitchers the team actually should sign this offseason. The money is there, even for an owner like this one. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

AJ Hinch called The White Sox "a problem" as they spend the second half playing solid baseball and the end of the season on a heater. Will the problem be added to in a good way by Chris Getz, or "solved" by mismanaging the offseason? A 12-Year-Old prepares to cash a big Jerry Reinsdorf check when he turns 16, and we discuss what kind of problems come from that decision. Chris has good problems with his voice, the Sox Nerd solves your trivia problems and Ed had problems getting the show posted on time so he's the real problem here. Need "30 Minutes of Sox"?

The White Sox are finishing 2025 very differently than 2024, and no matter the final record they look to have found enough to build a real baseball team for 2026. We're taking a look at what should (easily) be added and the team homerun race between Lenyn Sosa, Colson Montgomery and Andre Benintendi. Plus, the hard life that is being a consistant fantasy baseball champion. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

What do you do when someone sees you wearing your favorite team's gear and just yells "WHITE SOX" in your face? We ask the serious questions while working out how this upstart team of September Sluggers can avoid 100 losses. The race to 63 wins is on, and Colson Montgomery is leading the way with bombs!

Moving day away from the studio at the 9-foot home made oak bar leads to a look towards the future as 2025 starts the final stretch. An anonymous MLB player labeled the White Sox a "dumpster fire through and through", but somehow that's only an indictment of the past and not necessarily a sign of a bad future. A stretch, sure, but then the Sox Nerd stretches some facts about Miguel Vargas hitting a grand slam and catchers' batting positions. So get on back there? It will...with "30 Minutes of Sox!"

There was a loud voice telling you Lenyn Sosa was a good hitter. Ok, maybe two of them. We're taking a victory lap as the slugger without a position approaches 20 homeruns. Take a look at how the young guys are doing something very different in August as hope keeps springing up around a young team. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

The season will end with a lot more wins, but this is not a product close to contending. The changes needed, though, can be made quickly. Let;s talk about the good hitters and guys getting on base, but understand they are the anomaly. This offseason should be cutthroat and see additions to a very low payroll about to shed some dead weight. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

Chris is so positive about Lenyn Sosa's hitting that he is relying on him during a fantasy baseball postseason run. Is that crazy?

Colson Montgomery is red hot and it may be all in his head. No, we're not saying his play is a figment of his imagination. It could be the torpedo bat. It could also be the psychology behind using one. Plus, a listener message sparks more thoughts about what is wrong with the TV broadcast...or more like who is wrong with it.

Curtis Mead and two AAA pitchers came over from the Rays for Adrian Houser at the trade deadline and it looks like a great deal. Luis Robert Jr didn't get dealt away and we think the reason is because the general manager understands the miserly ways of his owner. Get the breakdowns and what the last few days mean for the White Sox long-term. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

Elijah Evans of Just Baseball and Future Sox gives his take on who the White Sox should move and what they will get at the Trade Deadline. We also take a look at what names to watch from their new draft class, how their next class of top prospects is doing and who will stick as real ballplayers out of the youngsters already on the big league club.
