Locked On White Sox - Daily Podcast On The Chicago White Sox

As expectations plummet, this episode explores the intriguing possibility of an even a modest win total possibly garnering new White Sox manager Will Venable some award consideration. It also speaks to just how bad things are that a 100-loss season would still be considered a success.

Dive into the challenges of maintaining optimism about the White Sox's future, largely due to Jerry Reinsdorf's management style and reluctance to invest in top talent.

Host Todd Welter shares his top five favorite White Sox seasons, with the 2005 World Series win taking the crown. The discussion also covers the team's recent struggles, including setting negative records in 2024 and the looming threat of consecutive 100-loss seasons.

Examine how Jerry Reinsdorf's ownership decisions impact the team's competitiveness and talent retention.

Tune in for a deep analysis of the Chicago White Sox's past, present, and potential future.
