Rundown

• [Intro] The red hot Chicago White Sox have won seven of their last eight games. It's been a great change of pace, even though it feels a bit strange in trying make sense of what everyone is watching.
• [6:46] With a 23-24 record post All-Star Break, are the White Sox closer to contending than initially thought? While the crew doesn't see a Manny Machado / Bryce Harper situation like in 2019, there's a debate if the White Sox should change their sights this offseason. Instead of just looking for cheap, veteran fits to fill out the roster like they have done recently, should the White Sox look to make more meaningful upgrades. Especially what lies ahead with the 2027 season possibly impacted by CBA negotiations.
• [31:17] Lenyn Sosa is the first White Sox hitter in 2025 to reach 20 home runs. While it's likely he won't be the last, has Sosa's productive season earn him a guaranteed spot on the 2026 roster?
• [39:51] If you missed the play because of football, Will Robertson made one of the best defensive plays this season. Is his home run robbery the best play for the White Sox?
• [43:32] Series Preview: Tampa Bay Rays
• [50:32] Around MLB: Sox Machine Fantasy League, the home run Karen incident, and the Los Angeles Dodgers continue to struggle

Rundown

• [Intro] Chicago White Sox had a great time in Minneapolis, which is a rarity.
• [7:33] Helping drive the offense, outside of monster home runs from Colson Montgomery, are the catchers Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero. Are Montgomery's home runs overshadowing Teel's impressive season? Why the White Sox should continue to figure out a way to have both Teel and Quero in the lineup.
• [29:11] Series Preview: Detroit Tigers. Shane Smith has been on a roll in his last seven starts thanks to pounding the strike zone with two-seamers. But after four games feasting on the Twins pitching, the White Sox now have to face Tarik Skubal this weekend.
