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

Chicago White Sox top pitching prospect Noah Schultz made his debut. He overcame some early nerves to have a solid debut. Although it was clear, he could not solve all of the White Sox's problems. However, it was nice to have him distract the fans from those issues for a few innings.

Host Todd Welter goes over Schultz's start. He then discusses the front office outlining the plan for pitcher Grant Taylor. The show wraps up on comparing Schultz's first big-league start with other former White Sox aces, such as Chris Sale, Carlos Rodon, Lucas Giolito, Dylan Cease, and Garrett Crochet.

The Chicago White Sox shake up their infield, trading Lenyn Sosa to the Toronto Blue Jays despite his recent surge at the plate. Did being a defensive liability seal Sosa’s fate, or does this open the door for new White Sox prospects to make an impact at Rate Field?
