Despite Tim Anderson, Yoan Moncada, Jose Abreu, and Eloy Jimenez hitting, the White Sox continue to lose. That's because James McCann and Leury Garcia have struggled greatly since the All-Star Break, so much that the White Sox should consider other possible starters for 2020. Josh and Jim share ideas on who a couple of targets that would be great fits if the money will truly be spent. 

Plus, the transformation of Jorge Soler, and a preview of the upcoming series in Seattle.
