With the White Sox sporting the best record in the American League since the All-Star break, Chuck Garfien is here to answer questions from White Sox fans. Are they back?? Is Colson Montgomery's hot streak for real? Will the White Sox spend in 2026? Will there be a work stoppage in 2027? Is there a chance the Sox don't pick up Luis Robert Jr.'s option? Could Will Venable win AL Manager of the year? And much more!
Curtis Mead and two AAA pitchers came over from the Rays for Adrian Houser at the trade deadline and it looks like a great deal. Luis Robert Jr didn't get dealt away and we think the reason is because the general manager understands the miserly ways of his owner. Get the breakdowns and what the last few days mean for the White Sox long-term. Brought to you by Cork & Kerry At The Park.

The White Sox may not have made the blockbuster many expected, but the trade deadline delivered new opportunities for the future. Chuck Garfien and Vinnie Duber break down why holding onto Luis Robert Jr. could pay off, the upside of adding versatile infielder Curtis Mead, and how Adrian Houser's trade brought more pitching depth to the farm system. Plus, what this patient approach says about Chris Getz's long-term plan.

David Haugh was joined by Score baseball insider Bruce Levine to discuss the trade interest in White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr.
It's Deadline Day and the 94 WIP Morning Show, broadcasting from MaGerk's, is excited about the Phillies' trade for pitcher Jhoan Duran, even though it meant giving up prospects Eduardo Tait and Mick Abel. It was a high price, but Duran has proven he can produce, so the Morning crew thinks this was a good deal. In his press conference last night, Dombrowski sounded confident they were going to make another move today. Listen to the whole press conference here! Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis joined the show, sharing their thoughts from a different perspective as both played in the MLB, and Ruben was a GM. They are very positive about Duran and think the Phillies have to make another move. Both Ruben and Ben would like to see the Phillies trade for Steven Kwan but aren't as high on Luis Robert Jr.
The 94 WIP Morning team asks Ben Davis and Ruben Amaro about other potential moves for the Phillies. The Phillies have been linked to Steven Kwan and Luis Robert Jr. Ben and Ruben are higher on Kwan than Robert, but the price will be high. Neither Ben nor Ruben are Luis Robert Jr. fans. Ruben says part of the reason Dombrowski hadn't made moves in years past was because he didn't know how good the prospects he had were to us for trades.
Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis join the 94 WIP Morning Show and discuss who else the Phillies could go out and get. They both think Steven Kwan is the most enticing. Ruben believes that the reason Dave Dombrowski didn't go all in in years past is because he didn't know what types of prospects he had.
Ruben Amaro and Ben Davis join the 94 WIP Morning Show and add their insights into the trade deadline. Ruben and Ben are fired up about Jhoan Duran! Ruben thinks the Phillies need to make another move, but it might be a marginal one. Ben and Ruben both like Steven Kwan, but think the price will be high. Neither are excited about Luis Robert Jr.
Hour 4: Seeing the price for Tyler Rogers, what could Luis Robert cost in a trade?
Gio is surprised Mets fans want Luis Robert Jr. Boomer and Gio agree that the Mets can't give up on Mark Vientos even though he has struggled this season. Boomer is intrigued by trading for Robert Jr. if it doesn't cost Vientos. Boomer wants to see the Mets add pitchers. Boomer says the Mets will have to move on from at least one of the young infielders eventually.
Hour 1 Jerry started the show with Boomer, joined by Gio later. Boomer raised questions about attending Aly's wedding and a Florida trip. Jerry's constant exclusion was discussed, though he denied being upset, especially about not being left out of the Pebble Beach trip. They then spoke to Aly about her wedding. Jerry highlighted differences in California wedding customs (no cash gifts, no suits). They discussed Anthony Volpe's hitting but fielding struggles, with Boomer suggesting time off. Jerry wanted Paul Goldschmidt to improve at first base. The Mets' heart of the order struggled in a 7-1 loss. After a chair swap, Gio reviewed what he missed due to car issues. A caller confirmed Gio's theory about smaller men wanting to fight him. Hour 2 Gio discusses a comet theory and a controversial Sydney Sweeney ad. The hosts dismiss the Nazi propaganda claims. Jerry gives an update. They discuss "Big Intern's" departure and future interns. Cody Bellinger's homer led the Yankees to a win. The Padres beat the Mets. Jose Iglesias had a good game. Juan Soto left with an injury but isn't concerned. A dildo appeared at a WNBA game. Trey Hendrickson ended his holdout. Finally, Boomer and Gio advise a caller on his first golf outing. Hour 3 Gio is surprised Mets fans want Luis Robert Jr., while Boomer and Gio agree the Mets can't give up on Mark Vientos despite his struggles. Boomer is intrigued by trading for Robert Jr. if it doesn't cost Vientos, and wants to see the Mets add pitchers. He believes the Mets will eventually have to move on from one of the young infielders. Is Steven Kwan a better target? Gio wonders why Rob Manfred was in the Phillies clubhouse. Jerry provides an update, but first, Boomer asks which Mets third baseman would be easiest to trade: Ronny Mauricio, Brett Baty, or Mark Vientos? Gio says Baty, Jerry says Vientos. Gio will not be happy if the Mets trade Mauricio or Vientos. The Mets lost their final late-night game. Juan Soto's foot X-rays were negative. Gio observed something new about Dave Sims. Anthony Volpe's bat contributed to a win, but his glove did not. Getting traded must be difficult. Boomer thinks the NBA could expand into Europe. In the final segment, Gio shares an update on trying to go to Streamsong the weekend of NFL Week 1. They could do the show from the resort on Monday, but not Tuesday. The alternate who would go if Boomer and Gio can't calls in, encouraging them to make the trip. Hour 4 Boomer and Gio discuss Giants and Jets camp, with the show at Giants camp tomorrow. They also cover NFL expectations, Aaron Glenn, and a Streamsong trip. Jerry provides an update, and Boomer sets Mets and Yankees trade deadline over/unders. Upcoming interviews include Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, Brian Daboll, Dexter Lawrence, and Jevon Holland. The Yankees beat the Rays, and Pete Alonso's reaction might have led to Huascar Brazoban's demotion. Luis Gil returns Sunday. The Mets lost badly. Justin Fields is back at Jets practice. Aaron Glenn is improving the Jets. The Moment of the Day: An object on the court. They discuss NL playoff threats, believing the Padres are dangerous but not the Brewers, and Gio gets angry at fans complaining despite championships.
In the second hour, Leila Rahimi and Marshall Harris were joined by Russ Dorsey of Yahoo Sports to discuss the latest trade deadline buzz across MLB, including the interest in Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suarez and White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Jr. After that, former MLB outfielder Doug Glanville joined the show to reflect on Cubs legend Ryne Sandberg's life and legacy after he passed away Monday at 65. Later, Rahimi and Harris listened and reacted to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' most notable comments in his media session Wednesday.
Mike Mulligan and David Haugh were joined by Chicago Sports Network analyst Ozzie Guillen to discuss what moves the White Sox could make as the trade deadline looms Thursday.

In hour 4, the WIP Midday Show are looking at the lone bright spot in a tough Phillies loss last night to the Chicago White Sox. That bright spot Luis Robert Jr. seemingly warming up to the Phillies faithful in what could be his audition game before Dombrowski makes a move for him before the trade deadline closes. Plus, all the fallout and potential ramifications from Bryce Harper and Rob Manfred's altercation.
On today's show, the WIP Midday Show are talking about the shared mindset of the Eagles team to forget about their Super Bowl 59 victory and start focusing on the next one. But should the Eagles embrace their Super Champion pedigree a little bit more? Plus, as the MLB trade deadline approaches in 2 days does Dave Dombrowski owe it to his Phillies veterans to make a big time move? As well as, Reed Blankenship, Jalyx Hunt and Devan Kaney joining the show live from Eagles training camp, DeCamara vs Fritz being postponed and the reaction from listeners and staff, Luis Robert Jr. audition yesterday, Harper vs Manfred ramifications and more!
BT and Sal ignite the New York Mets' trade deadline discussion, zeroing in on the volatile status of Mark Vientos. With the deadline looming, the hosts dissect whether the Mets should go "big game hunting" for acquisitions like Luis Robert Jr. or Zach Gallen, potentially moving Vientos to bolster their roster for a deep postseason run. The conversation crackles with intensity as they debate the optimal strategy for a Mets team on the cusp of contention, weighing the value of Vientos against the urgent need for a center fielder or another top-tier arm.
On the 94 WIP Morning Show, Joe DeCamara and Jon Ritchie talked about what stood out to them this past weekend when the Phillies took 2 of 3 from the Yankees. The Phillies desperately need a bat and some help in the bullpen. Hopefully the Phillies won't be too conservative at the trade deadline coming up this week. The Phillies have been linked with names like Luis Robert Jr. Do you ever want the Eagles to put a dome on their stadium? Cooper DeJean joined the show and said he's been practicing at cornerback, safety as well as nickel- not often is it unknown what position a star player like DeJean will be playing in an upcoming season. The Morning Show listened live to Nick Sirianni's press conference. The message is clear that they are looking past the Super Bowl and onto next season. Jon Ritchie shared exciting news: he got engaged over the weekend! Congrats Jon and Alicia!
On the 94 WIP Morning Show, the crew reacts to some audio of Bob Nightengale talking about the Phillies' apparent level of interest in Luis Robert Jr. Joe DeCamara doesn't want the Eagles to ever have a domed roof. Nick Sirianni reached out to a number of legends to understand how to maintain sustained success. Will Zack Wheeler pick it back up?

BT & Sal's Call of the Day, a surprisingly well-spoken young caller named Cameron from Mahwah ignites the conversation, passionately advocating for the Mets to trade for Luis Robert Jr. from the Chicago White Sox, even suggesting Mark Vientos as a potential centerpiece for the deal. The hosts, initially amused by the caller's age, are ultimately impressed by his articulate breakdown of stats and trade logic, leading to a fiery debate about the Mets' trade deadline strategy.
In the third hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes were joined by Sun-Times writer Jason Lieser to discuss the latest Bears storylines, including rookie receiver Luther Burden III's soft-tissue injury that has him sidelined from practice.

On Episode 989 of Hittin' Season, powered by WHYY, John Stolnis of The Good Phight recaps Wednesday night's awful loss to the Red Sox and tries to get to the bottom of Jesus Luzardo's struggles. Also, Cristopher Sanchez is now a bona fide ace, John goes inside the numbers on what makes him so special. And what are the latest Trade Rumors surrounding the Phils? John breaks down all the latest. Could the Phils move Ranger Suarez or Luzardo this summer? Show Notes: Disastrous loss in the finale Phillies blow a 5-0 lead, HRs from Schwarber, Harper, Castellanos & Stott, Realmuto It's the Phils' first loss in a game they homered five or more times since June 10, 2019. They haven't won three in a row since June 18-20. Blame Realmuto & Luzardo, who had a no-hitter going into the 5th, gives us 6 in the 5th after walking in two runs then serving up a grand slam FELL APART WHILE PITCHING FROM THE STRETCH AGAIN Thomson said they have to keep digging and working on what's wrong with Luzardo, specifically in the stretch Since June 11, opponents have hit .192/.252/.253 with 37 strikeouts and eight walks when there is no one on base against Luzardo. With runners on base, those numbers jump to .339/.443/.576, 16 strikeouts and 11 walks. (Gelb) Gelb says he went back to his old mechanics last night, but it still didn't work Jesus Luzardo says he is working day and night to fix his issues and he says they need to be fixed. He says teams are hitting him hard when he is pitching out of the stretch. He says it is not on JT Realmuto losing that foul ball pop-up. He says he and other Phillies lost it as well. Manager Rob Thomson says Jesus Luzardo lost his concentration. Phillies now 3-8 in Luzardo's last 11 starts They've now given Luzardo 3-0, 4-1 and 5-0 leads in July only to have him lose all 3 of them. He posted a 2.15 ERA in his first 11 starts. He allowed 20 runs in his next two. He made significant mechanical changes when pitching from the stretch, and it's resulted in only a 4.79 ERA over his last nine starts. UNLESS LUZARDO FIGURES THIS OUT, THEIR ENTIRE OFF-SEASON WILL HAVE BEEN A COMPLETE AND UTTER FAILURE The good news is this is a mechanical issue… which would indicate to me it CAN be fixed… but can they fix it in time? PITCH TIPPING: The Red Sox are renowned for doing this. Two pitches later, Story doubled home a run. THIS WAS NOT A STRONG ROB THOMSON GAME Luzardo should have been pulled after the second straight bases loaded walk, but got Jordan Romano up too late… after the game, Thomson admitted that was a mistake Pinch-ran Weston Wilson for Kyle Schwarber in the 10th after Schwarber's RBI single… Wilson, who is not fast… thrown out trying to steal 2nd to end the 10th With Wilson already used, Max Kepler had to face a lefty reliever and watched a called strike three to end the game in the 11th, instead of having Wilson available to pinch hit Rob Thomson on the 5th inning tonight: Said they have to keep digging and working on what's wrong with Luzardo, specifically in the stretch Harper's home run was the 350th of his career Bryce Harper tonight became the youngest of the 8 active players to reach 350 career home runs joining Giancarlo Stanton, Mike Trout, Paul Goldschmidt, Manny Machado, Freddie Freeman, Nolan Arenado, Aaron Judge. Kyle Schwarber's 34 HR are the 3rd-most through 102 games in Phillies franchise history, behind only Ryan Howard in 2006 and Mike Schmidt in 1979 -- both had 36. Cristopher Sanchez is a TRUE ACE: https://www.thegoodphight.com/2025/7/23/24472912/cristopher-sanchez-is-a-real-bona-fide-cy-young-contender WHEELER & SANCHEZ This gives the Phillies a leg-up in the postseason No one can match what the Phillies can do in the playoffs STARK ON SCHWARBER Says he believes Schwarber will be back here 4 years, $100 million is the number… how is he going to have a better deal four years AFTER the first free agent contract??? TRADE DEADLINE LATEST: Jayson Stark on 975 the Fanatic w/ Mikey Miss: Dombrowski wants to use his biggest chips to trade for a big time power bullpen arm controllable beyond this year, Duran, Bautista, no on Miller or Clase If he gets one, it's a right-handed platoon bat that falls into his lap Bullpen arm is more important than a bat Jeff Passan: The Phillies have quietly built up one of the best farm systems in baseball, and president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski's history of trading prospects for impact talent is unmatched. Still, with the Phillies entering a transition phase over the next few years, they aren't likely to sacrifice all of their depth. That complicates their tack at this deadline, because they are among the few teams with the need and capacity to acquire a pitcher of Clase's talent. Same goes for Cade Smith, another Guardian, and the Twins' two frontline relievers, Jhoan Duran and Griffin Jax. Getting David Robertson for $6 million certainly helps matters and serves as insurance against objectionable demands on high-end relief pitchers. And yet adding Robertson plus a high-octane relief arm alongside Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm gives the Phillies a representative back end. If they can also add a right-handed-hitting outfielder with power -- Adolis Garcia is in the mix, and Luis Robert Jr. would play, too -- it will be a successful deadline for a team whose starting pitching is good enough to carry it deep into October. Ruben Amaro & Jim Salisbury on Phillies Show Very interesting stuff on the show from Amaro (doesn't think they'll be able to get a lock down closer), Aiden Miller might be more untouchable than Painter, and the clubhouse talking about Eugenio Suarez (Salisbury). @JohnnyPhisher: Phillies need a RHH OF @Buster_ESPN: A surprise name has emerged in the starting pitcher market: Dylan Cease, who will be eligible for free agency at year's end. Perception of other teams is that the Padres are intent on making a push for the playoffs, and would use Cease to help fill other roster needs. Mets, AL East teams, Cubs among teams that have talked about him. COULD THE PHILLIES DO SOMETHING SIMILAR WITH RANGER SUAREZ OR JESUS LUZARDO? Jo Adell started slow, but on May 6 he hit a 9th inning HR in a blowout that got things going for him. Since then (67 gms) he has a .907 OPS (top 20 in MLB) with 19 HR (T-6th), and his .563 SLG is higher than any Phillies player. An interesting name: Dane Myers. Plays center field for the Marlins. The right-handed 29 year is wailing on lefties: .324/.385/.493, .878 OPS, 2 HRs, 13 RBIs in 78 PAs, 6 doubles. Would be a platoon guy. The Phillies and Padres are two of the many teams that have expressed interest in Steven Kwan, reports Jon Heyman of The New York Post. Both National League contenders are known to be looking for a left field upgrade.

Sox fans! Welcome back to Good Guys Talk Back. How about those Chicago White Sox? It was a three game sweep in Pittsburgh and the Sox are flying high. Big performances from Luis Robert Jr., Tauchman, Sosa, Cannon and Civale. Lots of offense and a nice way to come out of the all star break. Sox take on Tampa before hosting their crosstown rivals.

The White Sox headed into the All-Star break needing just a .754 winning percentage the rest of the way to avoid a losing season. So with that in the bag, duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, look to matters of the field, including the draft. The Sox are gaining a lot of praise from professional evaluators for first-round pick Billy Carlson, an infielder from California who no doubt will have the huge success of their last California infielder first-round selection. Of course, that particular success has come in just the last month, not during the four-plus years Andrew Vaughn spent as a failure before getting traded to Milwaukee. Then there's the All-Star game itself, which did not feature Adrian Houser and his 2.9 bWAR in less than half a season, but instead had Shane Smith as the Sox representative, apparently chosen by people who last saw a game on June 10 — since when Smith has given up 23 earned runs in 18 1⁄3 innings. In more crucial off-field matters, the two ooh and aah over a story eight teams have shown interest in Luis Robert Jr. and his 67 OPS+, but have more hope a decent set of prospects could be had for Houser or Mike Tauchman — or maybe some combination of all three. Or maybe some contender will take Robert if they can also have the recipe for the Campfire Milkshake. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
On this episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox took a look at the 2025 White Sox draft class. James talked about some key points from the Mike Shirley press conference stream about the draft class, and some of the key strategies that they helped them make decisions this year. They took some time to discuss in depth the first 4 picks, but time was spent on each pick. To end the stream they took a little time to talk about the White Sox catching depth and deployment, the market for Korey Lee, and finally the rumors of Luis Robert Jr's imminent trade.

In the third hour, Mike Mulligan and Chuck Swirsky were joined by Chicago Sports Network analyst Ozzie Guillen to discuss the latest White Sox storylines. Later, Bulls rookie forward Noa Essengue joined the show to discuss his journey from France to the NBA and to preview what awaits him and the team at Summer League.
Duty geezer Leigh Allan and his son and west coast correspondent, Will, took the cowards' way out this week and recorded Sharing Sox before said Sox began a series at Dodger Stadium. Their prediction for that series may not be pretty, but the White Sox face no real pressure to win, as compared to when they next travel to Colorado and need to do well in order to avoid embarrassment. As for individuals, the chat naturally spent a lot of time on Luis Robert Jr. and the possibility there's no possibility of getting more than a basket of used baseballs for him by the trade deadline, despite at least one professional analyst saying he does have value, honest. That just as naturally led to discussion of other trade chips, such as they are, with pessimism anything could be had for Andrew Benintendi without eating bazillions of salary dollars. But there's optimism that some lesser lights who have played like brighter lights, such as Mike Tauchman and Adrian Houser, might do very well on the market, along with relievers Mike Vasil and Steven Wilson. That in turn led to a look at Baseball-Reference's team Wins Above Average by position chart, in which Sox starting pitchers and catchers fare well (Top 10), the much-maligned-before-the-season bullpen comes in about average (16th) and every other position rates 25th or worse. Once again, thank you, Colorado Rockies. Oh, yeah — we expressed admiration for Chase Meidroth, had our usual disagreement about the value of Miguel Vargas, continued to wonder how to evaluate the mysterious pluses and minuses of Lenyn Sosa.

The Phillies salvaged a six-game road trip by winning two of three this weekend in Atlanta.They scored 13 runs on Friday, but only three runs the rest of the weekend. What can save this Phillies' offense? It should help to get Bryce Harper back in the lineup. He could return as early as Monday night's series opener against the Padres. But really this team is going to live and die with what they already have: Harper, Kyle Schwarber, Trea Turner, Nick Castellanos, Alec Bohm, etc. And maybe Otto Kemp. And maybe Justin Crawford. The external options to improve this lineup don't seem to be there, unless you think Jarren Duran, Taylor Ward, Cedric Mullins, Luis Robert Jr., Adolis Garcia are difference makers.Ranger Suárez is on another ridiculous run.
