• [39:20] White Sox Catchers Review: With how well Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero hit, do the White Sox have a Top 10 catching unit in baseball? Also, is it automatic that both Teel and Quero are with the White Sox to start 2026? What possibility is there of one being dealt to help address other areas in the roster?
• [50:31] White Sox Outfielders Review: This is a unit that sorely needs to be addressed, as only five outfielders are on the current 40-man roster, and both Mike Tauchman and Derek Hill could be non-tender candidates. What kind of outfielders should the White Sox target this offseason, and what are the odds Jerry Reinsdorf shocks the world by signing a big free agent?
