Podcast appearances and mentions of Chris Getz

Chuck Garfien answers White Sox fans' questions in another Ask Me Anything episode of the White Sox Podcast, covering Will Venable's big-game management, the starting rotation, Chris Getz's trade deadline strategy, Jose Urquidy's future, and the team's chances of winning the AL Central. Chuck also shares his White Sox MVP, the player who has impressed him most, his ideal postseason rotation, and who he'd want to see again in the "White Sox" section of heaven.

The Chicago Cubs are riding high after Jed Hoyer delivered a great trade deadline, and now Pete Crow-Armstrong is becoming the new favorite for MVP. White Sox fans were left wanting more, disappointed in Chris Getz, who didn't make a bigger push at the trade deadline.

Chuck Garfien is joined by CHSN contributor and 670 The Score's David Haugh to react to the White Sox's busy trade deadline. They break down the additions of Luis Castillo, Brenton Doyle, Huascar Brazobán, and Joey Bart, hear from Chris Getz as he addresses the media following the trade deadline, and discuss the moves made by the division-rival Guardians and Twins.

The Chicago White Sox lead the Al Central by 3 games heading into the trade deadline. Chris Getz was a buyer as four trades were made this deadline with Castillo, Brazoban, Doyle, and Bart have new homes on the SouthSide. Slavko is back and the crew discussed each deal in detail and how the lineup looks to be afterwards. Tune into the pod as we prepare you for October baseball!

Joe Kiang-Resis, Malachi Hayes and the reformed, refurbished and revitalized Leonard Gore gathered together with Brett Ballantini to talk over the four moves made at the trade deadline by the White Sox, from good to ... puzzling. By the end, we speed-rounded grades for Chris Getz's first "buying" deadline, as well as whether or not Cleveland and its acquisition of Foster Griffin had a better deadline session than the White Sox.

Sox fans! The Chicago White Sox are in first place and it's August. Feels good to feel good. Goodbye Seranthony Dominguez, hello Luis Castillo. Fedde moves to the bullpen. Are there more moves on the way? Catcher? Another starter? Chris Getz seems ready to wheel and deal if the chemistry and fit is right. The Sox split with New York and took two of three in Tampa. The Sox outscored the Rays 15-3. Right now the South Siders are in control and if you have not started believing in this team to at least win the division, it's time to start. Another big week for our Sox and the jersey retirement for Ozzie Guillen is right around the corner. Thank you for the continued support. Go Sox. #WhiteSox

In this episode, Natalie Koop and Chris Getz sit down with Manny Galarza, owner of A Team Plumbing and Drain and a member of The New Flat Rate. Manny shares the raw truth about growing his plumbing company from a one-man show in 2018 to 13 employees across plumbing, HVAC, and septic — and how his average ticket jumped from $400 to $2,500 after joining TNFR. He gets honest about the sleepless nights, the cash flow struggles, the moment he realized his pricing was killing him, and why he says he wouldn't be in business today without a real system. If you're a contractor on the fence about pricing, stuck at one truck wondering if you should scale, or quietly stressed out from carrying it all on your own, this one is for you.Social Media Links:InstagramTNFR- ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/thenewflatrate⁠⁠FacebookTNFR- ⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/TheNewFlatRate⁠⁠LinkedInTNFR- ⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-new-flat-rate-inc-/posts/?feedView=all⁠⁠Links and Resources:https://thenewflatrate.com/https://a-teamplumbingandhvac.com/ 

Mike Mulligan and David Haugh reacts to audio from former general manager, Jim Bowden predicting that Chicago White general manager, Chris Getz will be active at the MLB Trade Deadline

As MLB reporters have conflicting takes on what the White Sox will target and pay in the marketplace, the message to MLB teams is pretty direct.

Welcome to Episode 177 of Tablesetters. The White Sox were baseball's biggest cautionary tale just one year ago. Today, they're tied atop the American League Central, fresh off selecting the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft, and facing a question few expected to ask this quickly: has the rebuild already given way to a legitimate contender? To help answer that, we're joined by Josh Nelson of Sox Machine. As the host of the Sox Machine Podcast, a contributor to 670 The Score, and lead writer for SoxMachine.com, Josh has documented every step of Chicago's transformation, from a 121-loss season to one of the biggest surprises in baseball. In Episode 177, we examine: • The origins of Sox Machine and how it became one of the most respected independent voices covering the White Sox • Why the White Sox believed Roch Cholowsky was the best player in the 2026 MLB Draft, and what his arrival could ultimately mean for Colson Montgomery and the rest of Chicago's infield • The organizational philosophy behind one of the draft's most celebrated classes, including the additions of Landon Thome, Cole Prosek, Joey Volchko, and more • The Jacob Gonzalez trade, why the White Sox were willing to move a recent first-round pick, and how acquiring the 34th overall selection reshaped their draft strategy • Whether Munetaka Murakami has already become one of the franchise's most impactful free-agent signings and why Chicago may have found its next cornerstone • Miguel Vargas' remarkable reinvention from struggling after the 2024 trade to becoming an All-Star, and what deserves the most credit for one of baseball's best breakout stories • Whether Vargas, Murakami, and Colson Montgomery represent the offensive foundation capable of carrying the White Sox for years to come • How Chicago went from 102 losses to the top of the AL Central in just one season, and whether the underlying numbers suggest this turnaround is built to last • Why the White Sox have become nearly unbeatable at Rate Field while continuing to search for consistency away from home • Sean Burke's emergence, his place among the American League's most improved pitchers, and whether the White Sox have finally developed their next frontline starter • The biggest trade deadline decisions facing Chris Getz and whether adding talent now is worth accelerating the organization's timeline • Whether the White Sox have officially crossed the line from rebuilding club to postseason expectation, where anything less than October baseball would feel like a missed opportunity From draft room decisions to clubhouse culture, roster construction to playoff expectations, Josh offers an inside look at one of the most fascinating stories unfolding across Major League Baseball.

The long-anticipated Luis Robert Jr. trade has finally happened, and we're here to break down what it means for your 2026 Chicago White Sox. In this emergency podcast, Duke Coughlin and Nik Gaur react to the White Sox trading Luis Robert to the New York Mets, closing the book on the last major piece of the previous front office era. The guys discuss why the return feels underwhelming to many fans and whether Chris Getz realistically could've done better - or if he should have just kept him instead. The conversation then shifts to incoming prospects Luisangel Acuña and Truman Pauley. The two focus largely on Acuña, due to his expected prominent role with the 2026 club. Despite his defensive versatility, speed, and winter-league performance, Duke and Nik have differing opinions on just how good of a prospect Acuña is and just how much long-term value he will provide to the team. Where do you fall in this debate?   Finally, the duo looks ahead: what the $20M in payroll flexibility actually means, why the outfield remains a glaring need, and how the White Sox should approach the rest of the offseason. The episode closes with a reflective send-off for Luis Robert, revisiting favorite moments and acknowledging what could have been.

Chuck Garfien is joined by White Sox field reporter Connor McKnight to break down one of the biggest moves of the offseason, Luis Robert Jr. being dealt to the New York Mets and what it means for the organization moving forward. The duo also digs into Chris Getz's role in reshaping the roster and the return headlined by Luisangel Acuña. From there, the conversation turns to the ripple effects of the trade, expectations for Robert in 2026, how the White Sox might deploy their new financial flexibility, and where the front office could look to invest as the next phase of the rebuild takes shape.

A recent ESPN article says that the White Sox have nothing left to do this offseason. We disagree. Hear what still needs to happen for Chris Getz to hold his head high come March and why there is still time to truly improve this team before the start of the season.
