After some jerk sabotaged a cable in his neighborhood the day before, West Coast correspondent Will Allan was able to fire up his copper wire to connect with duty geezer and father, Leigh ... on the Isle of Man!

Yes, No. 146 is the first international edition of Sharing Sox and most likely the only international podcast in the South Side Sox/Sox Populi annals.

The never-before MLB podcast from the Isle of Man began with talk of the Andrew Vaughn-Aaron Civale trade — including Civale's possible trade value a month from now. That led to other possible trade values of White Sox gettables, including Luis Robert Jr., Mike Tauchman, Miguel Vargas, Mike Vasil and Adrian Houser ... which led to the wild difference between ERAs and FIPs for Vasil and Houser.

Then it was onto great praise for Chase Meidroth offset by great concern over the hole at first base (Leigh again brought up the idea of plunking Andrew Benintendi there).

The podcast ended up with the Athletic feature about the deadened ball flying about four feet shorter this year.
