Rundown

• [Intro] Chicago White Sox general manager Chris Getz hosts his end of the regular season press conference. Touching on many topics including highlights of the season, what to do about the catching situation, plans for Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith, and what to hope for in 2026.
• [16:33] Baltimore series recap, which was another dud for the White Sox as they have lost six straight games. James Fegan provides additional insight from the Getz presser as we will get a clearer picture from him at the GM Meetings in November. 
• [25:24] Martin Perez left Wednesday's game early with a sore shoulder. The injury is not career threatening but there is the mutual option that the White Sox will be declining. So what's next for Perez? 
• [31:24] With nine games to go, a quick look at the White Sox stat leaders. Before the Padres series, Shane Smith / Davis Martin / Adrian Houser are all tied with six wins. Will any pitcher get to seven wins for the White Sox? 
• [37:27] Josh Nelson got a FromThe108 bobblehead from Tuesday's game. If Sox Machine had a bobblehead, what would be the beverage choices? Also a marketing idea for the White Sox to use for 50/50 raffles next season. 
• [40:20] Series Preview: San Diego Padres. Can the White Sox snap their losing streak? Plus, Jose Abreu returns this weekend. Is a retirement announcement coming?
