Guest: Mike Ferrin, MLB Network Radio

Rundown

• [Intro] Audio from Chris Getz who holds court in Monday's Winter Meetings. He talks about maintaining the current course, if he believes there's a contending core being built with players currently in hand, and what the White Sox have achieved in his three years as general manager.
• [6:16] Mike Ferrin of MLB Network Radio joins the show again to talk about the current Winter Meetings vibes. If there is a big move to be made, why it could be the Washington Nationals making big trade news. What Ferrin thinks about the White Sox, and who fans should know about in the upcoming draft class ahead of Tuesday's lottery.
• [28:55] Jim Margalus joins Josh Nelson as they hash out what they learned today. Yes, they can see where the White Sox are making improvements, and Getz may have a good long-term plan in place. But once again, a White Sox general manager speaks with no pressure to lose their job, as there are no set expectations. That might work internally at 35th and Shields, but that notion doesn't fly with Chicago White Sox fans.
