White Sox REKAP Podcast

Send us Fan Mail

The #whitesox are inching closer to #openingday and #guff BA & #jhood get together on the podcast to discuss whether or not #shanesmith and #colsonmontgomery can take the next step towards stardom.  Smith was a Rule 5 'great story' in 2025 and, after an #allstar season, now takes the reigns as Opening Day starter for the Sox when they face the #milwaukeebrewers in a few weeks.  The guys build the case as to why it can continue as well as why he may just settle in to a good spot in the rotation.  As for Montgomery, the guys all say that 2025 was for real and that a star in in the making on the Southside, despite a subpar spring.  But, BA discusses why stats don't 'really' matter when you're getting your work in in the desert.  Plus, the guys discuss the White Sox style of play as they've performed as one of the best in all of the Cactus League.  And, a great BA story on #kennywilliams that leads to thoughts on his playing career.

Spring Training games are here, which means we’ll have baseball games for almost the next 9 months. As the 2026 season draws closer #guff & Brian Anderson go in depth on their break out players for the #whitesox in 2026. Guff explains why the list is longer than a typical season, mainly because the Sox have such a good, strong nucleus. The duo explain why they’re excluding #munetakamurakami & #colsonmontgomery from the list because in a sense, they’ve already been there and done that. Guff asks BA how players deal with setbacks and why or why we shouldn’t read into Spring Training statistics.

Pitchers and catchers report - 4 of the best words in sports!  And, as the #whitesox enter #springtraining, there is a different buzz in the air after 243 losses the last 2 seasons. #guff is joined by Brian Anderson & Jonathan Hood as the trio goes through their 5 biggest questions for the Sox entering the 2026 season. Do they have enough pitching?  Who is in the outfield especially knowing #bradenmontgomery isn’t here yet?  Is the core ready to take another step forward?  What about the addition of #munetakamurakami?  What if he’s a star?  And can we allow ourselves to be excited about the 2026 White Sox?  We answer all of this and more on a spirited edition of the podcast!

#guff catches up with #whitesox pitchers #davismartin  #anthonykay & #granttaylor as well as catcher #kyleteel at #soxfest.  Great stuff from an excited group of players.  Among highlights in these interviews is the excitement surrounding Japanese slugger #munetakamurakami and the raw power he brings to the lineup.  Kay says 'he's a $100 million dollar player', while Martin responds by saying he's already received baseball cards from Japanese fans.  Teel wants to be an All-Star in 2026, while Taylor is focused on being a dominant reliever for the White Sox in 2026.  It's a 'Best of SoxFest' edition of the podcast and it starts RIGHT NOW!

The #chicago #whitesox have certainly become one of the more intriguing teams in #mlb this offseason with the roster moves that they have made to add to an exciting young core.  GM #chrisgetz is back in the REKAP®  studios for a lengthy sit-down with #guff and #kap on the podcast.  The guys dissect what went right last year, specifically, the decision to send #colsonmontgomery down to Arizona before having a smoking hot start to his career in the 2nd half.  They discuss landing the #1 pick in the 2026 MLB Draft and the behind the scenes story about #jerryreinsdorf that was unveiled.  When did the Sox get involved with the #munetakamurakami and why the time was right to trade #luisrobert.  Plus, does Getz still see this as a rebuild now that many of the fruits of the labor are at the big league level.  And, did #benjohnson and his impact on the #chicagobears feed into his excitement about the 2026 Sox?  It's a deep dive of the Chicago White Sox on this edition of the White Sox REKAP®  Podcast!

Guff and Hoody talk about the #whitesox offseason. With the Sox signing #munetakamurakami - many are considering the offseason a positive one. Do the guys have other items on their wish list that they hope #chrisgetz can still make happen?

Plus, the duo spinoff of #mlb Network who recently losted their all-time favorite Sox players by position  it didnt work for them, so #guff & Jonathan Hood gave a much more educated opinion

The #whitesox surprised most of #mlb on Sunday by signing Japanese star #munetakamurakami to a 2-year $34 million dollar deal to bolster a young, rising lineup and raising the question, what’s next?  #guff and BA discuss the low risk, high reward move and why moving #luisrobert makes even more sense now. They added reliever #seannewcomb and Guff predicts more moves are coming after the Sox added this surprise signing.

#mlbfreeagency is off and running and the #whitesox have yet to make a splash of note, especially in their bullpen.  #kenleyjansen and #kylefinnegan have been signed by the #detroittigers.  #guff and Brian Anderson discuss the Sox slow march into free agency and if they'll do anything of note going forward.  Plus, the duo discuss the Sox getting the #1 pick in next year's #mlb draft.  Will #rochcholowsky be the guy?   It appears to be the case, but Guff says don't let the #1 pick mask the need to upgrade.

Plus - the guys are joined by new bullpen catcher Bennett Markinson - a 22 year old former player for BA at #northwestern.

Will they or won’t they?  The #whitesox are coming off of another 100+ loss season, but this one is different than a year ago when they set an #mlb record with a 141 loss season. They had promise and hope from many of the prospects in the latest rebuild. #guff believes that they can compete for the 3rd #wildcard spot if they spend wisely…say $100 million on a payroll. The #wintermeetings are on deck, but does it mean #chrisgetz and company will have any type of green light to spend?

Guff brings on Whitesox.com’s Scott Merkin to ask him these questions and whether he believes #luisrobert or #andrewbenintendi could be traded. Will Guff get his wish or will Merk squash it?  All that and more on this edition of the White Sox REKAP Podcast!
