If it’s not Roch Cholowsky, could the White Sox draft Grady Emerson instead?
Chuck Garfien welcomes former major leaguer and current head coach for Fort Worth Christian Rusty Greer for an inside look at one of the most talked-about names heading into the 2026 MLB draft, Grady Emerson.

Why Sam Antonacci IGNORES the Numbers and Focuses on Winning
Chuck Garfien sits down with White Sox rookie Sam Antonacci for a discussion that dives into both his personality and the style of baseball that has quickly connected him with fans on the South Side.

He also reflects on his first career home run that turned into an unforgettable inside-the-park moment and explains why winning means far more to him than any individual stat line. Chuck and Sam also get into the relationships that have helped shape his rookie season, from sharing a locker area with Mike Vasil to reuniting in the organization with former teammate Rikuu Nishida.

Can the White Sox win the AL Central?!
Chuck Garfien chats with The Athletic's Dan Hayes to break down a surprisingly competitive American League Central race and why the division may be more wide open than expected, including for the Chicago White Sox. They discuss how the Cleveland Guardians continue to win despite losing one of baseball’s top closers, while the Minnesota Twins have struggled to protect leads even with strong starting pitching and one of the league’s highest-scoring offenses. Chuck also lays out what the White Sox need to do to seriously contend for the division, especially in head-to-head games against Cleveland. Chuck and Dan explore why the idea of the White Sox winning the AL Central may not sound as unrealistic as people think, including comparisons between the Sox’ current momentum and Cleveland’s 2022 run. They revisit the memorable 15-inning Twins-Guardians game from 2022, examine why Chicago now has several “Guardian-like” players on the roster, and debate which team is best positioned to finish on top when the season ends. The episode wraps up with Dan’s prediction for the eventual AL Central winner and Chuck offering some playful advice to noted Sox-killer Byron Buxton before the next White Sox-Twins series.

Chuck also revisits a powerful 2021 quote from Orsino about life in professional baseball. Later, Hill shares what stands out about the current White Sox clubhouse, from the chemistry between younger players and veterans to the growing buzz surrounding names like Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami.
