State Senator Bill Cunningham sits as the point person when it comes to stadium-related legislation and sits on the committee that approves appointments to the Illinois Sports Facility Authority which owns Rate Field. He gives us straight answers on the White Sox lease ending in 2029 and anything can be done to entice the team to stay in Bridgeport. Coming out of this conversation, though, it seems clear the White Sox are likely moving to the south loop, Amtrak is likely moving to Bridgeport and...

The beauty of a White Sox podcast is that we get to talk about this team year round. So, let's start with the base of this offseason. Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami are two 3-true-outcome lefthanded bats. Can you have two of those in your lineup? Does Montgomery actually have 3 outcomes?

Chris Getz has identified outfield help and starting pitching as main tagerts this offseason, and to do that right will cost money. Will owner Jerry Reinsdorf, who expressed his love for fans following the series win over Houston, put his money where his mouth is and support the young GM after a successful season? While Reinsdorf has been cheap in past seasons, history also points to what opens the pocketbook. Those circumstances may be back (hopefully) on the South Side. Video version on YouTu...

Decisions at the front office and managerial level have yielded bad results. Luis Castillo to the pen after acquiring him through 2027. Drew Thorpe to the minors. Openers that shouldn't open a jar of peanut butter. In-game moves even the announcers question as they happen. Yet, you can still win this divison. All the decision-makers have to do is learn from their mistakes. Video version on YouTube! Brought to you by Hayat Home Medical Equipment. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebert sit at a basement bar...

The season is on the line in Cleveland and this team is playing tight...at least they were when we recorded this right before the first game of the three-game set. With the series yet undecided, a season hangs in the balance. What adjustments can or should be made to the lineup? Who do you trust to push this offense? The emotional rollercoaster continues for White Sox fans in "30 Minutes of Sox!" Video version on YouTube! Brought to you by Hayat Home Medical Equipment. Chris Lanuti and Ed Siebe...

The ghosts of past White Sox tams that stumbled at the end are lurking. Can this team find a way into the postseason?

And we keep beating the drum for Drew Thorpe's return to the rotation as the White Sox try to hold off Cleveland in these final weeks. Video version on YouTube!

Luis Castillo doesn't look good. Did the White Sox fail in their pre-trade evaluation or ist his a case of a player not listening to adjustment coaching? (Not a crazy thought, as the press corps actually asked about this post-game on Thursday.) One thing not beings asked is "why not elevate Drew Thorpe" and that's odd. Only 22 games remain and the White Sox have some tough choices to make if they want to cross the finish line in first. Video version on YouTube! Brought to you by Hayat Home Medi...

The White Sox are not firing on all cylinders, but they continue to do enough to hold onto their AL Central lead. It would help if they had another starting pitcher, but somehow Drew Thorpe isn't ready yet? Why isn't he ready? Why isn't anyone asking why he isn't ready? Here comes the last month of an unexpected season. Are you ready? Video version on YouTube! Brought to you by Hayat Home Medical Equipment.

The White Sox will solve this starting pitching problem, right? If they don't, it could be big trouble. It won't be the kind of trouble that jumps multiple rows into an upper deck brawl, but it could be just as ugly! It isn't a real concern until the team chasing them in the standings gets to .500 baseball, right? Welp, don't look now.... Video version on YouTube! Brought to you by Hayat Home Medical Equipment.

The White Sox have a calculating, analytical manager who took a team projected to do nothing and turned them into something formitable. But...he has more to learn. We look at the good, bad and ugly from this week and ask if a young manager can evolve like a young player in "30 Minutes of Sox!" Video version on YouTube!

Everyone expected the White Sox to fade when they got to Detroit, but they swept in stunning fashion. Is that enough to mke you believe in this young team? Will Venable is moving away from development and managing for wins, but he's still developing himself. And what will the White Sox do with their rotation?
