On this special episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox welcome Tyler Jennings of Prospects Live for some serious draft chat. They discuss what Tyler feels is the strength of the draft and who you can expect to end up in the top 10 at this point. As White Sox fans, we are all pretty much disgusted that the Guardians ended up with the first pick in the draft, but Ian and James asked Tyler where he thought their strategy would take them with the first overall pick.

Once they got past the names everybody knows and expects to be called in the top 10, Tyler was asked who his favorite guys outside of the top 10 are. He had some interesting answers and probably a few you either don't know or don't expect.

Of course the most important question the FutureSox Podcast has for Tyler is who he thinks the White Sox will go with at number 5, and who will be available.

Nick Murawski and Danny Miller discuss the first game of the annual White Sox/Cubs series live. They also discuss the recent roster moves that have seen Lenyn Sosa. Luis Robert Jr., Zach DeLoach all return. Meanwhile Zach Remillard gets DFA'd for the 3rd time, Dom Fletcher is in a sling, Tommy Pham has a sprained ankle. It's been a long week already, and it is getting longer with the winless streak reaching 12 despite HR's from Lenyn Sosa and Luis Robert and a big diving catch from Gavin Sheets. The bullpen just couldn't hold the lead after the rain delay. Danny's 74 win prediction is looking like it may be in peril.

Ian Eskridge and James Fox of FutureSox took some time with White Sox 2023 13th round selection Ryan Galanie. He goes into his storied high school and talks about the insane alumni from Moeller High School, including Ken Griffey Jr and Barry Larkin among many others. Galanie also went into detail about his college career with the Wofford Terriers, and his eventual draft day.

Ryan was asked to tell Ian and James what is making Kannapolis the place to be in the Carolina league in 2024, what the differences are to last year, and what he is focusing on this year and for the future.

Galanie is slashing an insane .352/.436/.592 in 2024, and has been putting on a show. The masses need to take a look and see what he is doing with the Cannon Ballers.
