Cristian Mena made his Major League debut on the mound for the Diamondbacks at hostile Chavez Ravine. While the night did not start out as planned against the formidable Dodgers, Mena eventually found his rhythm and rebounded nicely. Meanwhile, the Diamondbacks mounted an impressive rally capped off by Christian Walker's two home run night as he dominates once again at Dodger Stadium. We have more on the big win and Ketel Marte being named the starting second baseman for the NL All-Star Team, and Jesse Friedman joins the show from L.A.

Ian Eskridge and James Fox broke down the White Sox trades of Cristian Mena for Dom Fletcher w/ the DBacks, and Gregory Santos for Prelander Berroa, Zach DeLoach, and a Comp B pick. They also went delving into the Kevin Pillar, Juan Then, and Alex Speas acquisitions, the Dylan Cease market, and what is possibly going on with RF at Guaranteed Rate.
Duke Coughlin and Jordan Lazowski are joined by Michael Suareo to discuss the two latest White Sox trades that sent Gregory Santos to the Mariners and Cristian Mena to the Diamondbacks. What is the value the White Sox received in return? Was it enough to justify the pieces they traded away? Plus, do these trades give you more confidence in Chris Getz's ability to get a strong return for Dylan Cease, especially given the rumored market for him? The crew discusses this and more!
Hey Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. The Sox traded away Gregory Santos and Cristian Mena to the Seattle Mariners and Baltimore Orioles, respectively. Santos could very well have been the Sox closer in 2024 and Mena was a well thought of pitching prospect. The Sox got some much needed outfield depth in return. Dominic Fletcher came to the Sox from AZ and should be a player to watch this spring. With all of this outfield depth, does this mean Gavin Sheets will no longer hang out in right field? Romy Gonzalez found a new home and the word rebuild gets its due. Thank you for the continued support, Go Sox. #WhiteSox #ChicagoWhiteSox --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/good-guys-talk-back/message

Good morning, White Sox fans. Here's the rundown: MONDAY: The White Sox DFA'd Seby Zavala before getting blown out by the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

ON THE FARM: Play resumes after the customary off day, with Cristian Mena making his second Triple-A start. AROUND THE LEAGUE: Lucas Giolito's first start with Cleveland is a disaster, the AL West shifts again, and the NL wild card hopefuls all hold serve. Learn more about your ad choices.

Rundown Last night: Elvis Andrus and Eloy Jimenez hit home runs, but it was a controversial call at home plate that decided the game. Tonight: It's Pride Night at the ballpark as Michael Kopech looks to shut down his hometown team. Down on the Farm: Evan Skoug hits a grand slam, Birmingham wins a Cristian Mena start, and Jonathan Cannon strikes out 10 batters.

If Project Birmingham didn't ensure it, the roster heading into 2023 sure does: The Barons are the centerpiece minor league organization for the White Sox. With so many promising players starting the year at Birmingham, Darren Black hopped on with Brett Ballantini to discuss all of the promise residing in Double-A this year: Cristian Mena and Matt Thompson may be starters headed in a different direction; the former has his sights set on the South Side this summer, while the latter faces a make-or-break season in the rotation The heart of the bullpen has been injured over the past few seasons, as well as Spring Training invitee Edgar Navarro The offense is really where it's at, with Colson Montgomery, of course. But we talk at length about Bryan Ramos, and how his success would be a rare, non-high pick win for the White Sox José Rodríguez shouldn't be long for the Barons, but he does start here, and needs not only to mash, but to stay healthy We struggle through technical difficulties, making this a rare audio-only podcast Still to come, previews and podcasts on both Single-A clubs, leading up to Opening Night for AA-A clubs on Friday Learn more about your ad choices.
