Locked On White Sox - Daily Podcast On The Chicago White Sox

The Chicago White Sox had a chance to complete a comeback victory over the Seattle Mariners and win another series. Instead, the bullpen blew a lead like it usually does. Even if winning and losing does not matter, it gets frustrating watching the pen ruin some more chances to win ballgames. Then, it is time to stop comparing this year's team to last year's historic losing squad.

Host Todd Welter also goes over the upcoming roster shakeup with Andrew Benintendi set to return from the injured list and how Joshua Palacios might not be the player who gets DFA'd.

The Chicago White Sox bullpen blew a 1-0 lead in the ninth, but thanks to Chase Meidroth and Miguel Vargas, the Sox still beat the Cincinnati Reds 5-1 in 10 innings. Before the blown 1-0 lead, it was looking like the Edgar Quero leading the Sox to victory game with the big night he had. This victory is another reason to have hope for better days ahead for the Pale Hose.

Host Todd Welter discusses if Miguel Vargas is owed a figurative apology from the folks who doubted he would be anything after his terrible production in 2024 after he was acquired in a trade deadline deal.

Then a couple players on the 10-day IL are making rehab assignments which will force the Sox front office to make some interesting roster decisions that could impact youngsters such as Brooks Baldwin and Tim Elko.

Finally, it is Wayback Wednesday, and there is huge news involving Shoeless Joe Jackson being removed from the banned for life list by MLB commissioner Rob Manfred.

Tim Elko hit a three-run home run to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 4-2 victory over the Miami Marlins on Sunday. His arrival in Chicago also indirectly got Andrew Vaughn to play better with two dingers over the weekend and key RBI yesterday.

Host Todd Welter discusses how hopefully Elko's presence pushes Vaughn to produce better so he can increase his trade value. Todd also goes over the latest trade rumor involving Luis Robert Jr. and how the Sox might take even less than what they were seeking in the offseason. Finally, it is a Minor League Monday report as Todd goes over MLB Pipeline's update top 100 list and how Colson Montgomery finally was left off the list.
