    How Chris Getz has fixed the White Sox clubhouse

    Chuck Garfien takes an inside look at how new White Sox GM Chris Getz has gone about fixing the clubhouse after last season's team broke into pieces on the way to a 101-loss season. Chuck speaks with outfielder Brett Phillips who was a World Series hero with the Tampa Bay Rays in 2020. He gives Sox fans a peek behind the curtain as to what's been happening with the team during spring training and how it will translate on the field this season. Then, new White Sox reliever John Brebbia talks about the team that's been put together, the importance of clubhouse intangibles, and his very catchy entrance song that will likely become a thing on the South Side this season.

Best Sox podcast!

Love all the coverage of the players at spring training. Multiple episodes a week and all the players on the show. Definitely recommended this if you are a fan of the Sox.

Back for my annual punishment…

I’ve been way way in the dark since early last year. Time to get caught up. Do we have a team with guts yet??

Tim in 2024

This is by far the most informed and objective news and analysis of the White Sox out there. Your episode on Tim was very insightful. I took away that Tim was a casualty of the toxic clubhouse rather than a contributor. I think he deserves a chance to redeem himself with this team next year. Given his friendly team option, relatively low trade value, and his willingness to play 2nd, what downside would there be to keeping him around?
