On this episode of FutureSox Hot Takes & Heaters Nick Murawski and Danny Miller discuss White Sox getting a little help with the bats back.  Also the Sox are still very bad. Will it relent? What can be taken from any of the performances on the field?  When is Getz going to put us out our misery and launch Pedro into the sun and give Montoyo the gig? This and much more!

On this episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox talk White Sox development system with former Sox prospect, and 2022 High A batting champ, Tyler Osik. He goes through his path in the Sox system, the training staff, workouts, and hitting programs. He goes through how he feels the system was handled, what was done right and what they could improve upon.

Afterwards, James and Ian talked about performances this week across the different affiliates, and who's making big statements in the first couple weeks.

All team meeting doesn't yield a win after a great start and good relief pitching in Nick Nastrini's debut. Nick and Danny are somehow not at the end of their ropes. So many things have gone wrong, but they somehow soldier through it and go over the Nastrini start, Jonathan Cannon coming up, and the optional stretching tweet that popped out earlier today.

They discuss the continually complicated nature of the 40-man roster and express excitement around two top pitching prospects making their MLB debuts this week. Then, they dive into discussing top performers from each affiliate within the organization highlighted by our new weekly segment featuring minor league hitter of the week, Edgar Quero, and pitcher of the week, Aldrin Batista.
