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

If Luis Robert Jr. is traded before Opening Day, the Chicago White Sox 26-man roster is going to lack star power. At least that is what host Todd Welter has in his first crack at predicting the White Sox Opening Day roster. Also, former front office head, Kenny Williams may deserve more blame for the team's decay than owner Jerry Reinsdorf.

Finally, Joey Gallo has been added to the team on a minor-league deal.

Sound bites from the Athletic's Keith Law are courtesy of Sox Machine Podcast.

Is Luis Robert Jr. on the brink of leaving the Chicago White Sox? As spring training unfolds, the buzz around potential trades and player movements intensifies. The Chicago White Sox are making headlines with the signing of Michael A. Taylor, a strategic move that could either provide cover if the Sox do trade LRJ before Opening Day or at least provides better defensive depth to lighten Robert Jr's workload in the field.

Ky Bush is going to miss the season after needing Tommy John surgery. Host Todd Welter discusses why this is another example to have guarded optimism about the team's future.

Finally, it is Wayback Wednesday that discusses some players who had strong spring trainings and did not do squat in the big leagues.

One of the biggest questions the Chicago White Sox have this spring training is who the Opening Day starter will be now that Garrett Crochet is gone. Right now, it looks like it is either Jonathan Cannon, Martin Perez, or Davis Martin which makes one wonder if the White Sox should add another veteran free-agent starter.

Host Todd Welter also breaks down three minor moves the Sox made on Friday which included reliever Steven Wilson getting DFA'd and veteran infielder Brandon Drury being added with the hope of a bounce-back season.

Finally, Gavin Sheets is going to get one more shot to stay in the big leagues as the San Diego Padres added the former Sox DH on a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training.

Plus, Adam Dubbin of Blessyouboys.com (SB Nation's Tigers fan site) goes over how the Detroit Tigers went from losing 119 games in 2003 to the World Series in 2006 and the parallels that can be drawn with the White Sox current state.

Could the Chicago White Sox trade star player Luis Robert Jr. to a division rival? SB Nation's Royal Review and Bleacher Report has thrown out the idea that the Kansas City Royals should trade for the former All-Star outfielder. However, if the Sox reportedly refused to trade pitcher Erick Fedde to the Twins last year, it is unlikely they would change their stance of not wanting to help a division rival get better.

Then host Todd Welter tackles a listener question regarding if the team should consider bringing back Tommy Pham. Finally, it is a Minor League Monday report going over the five non-top 30 prospects who got an invite to spring training.
