To match the acquisitions today by the White Sox, we upped our trade deadline podcast from four South Side Sox staff to six (Brett Ballantini, Darren Black, James Fox, Joe Resis, Bill Meincke and Zach Hayes) and, what ho, we had White Sox trades to talk about! The White Sox did well on Thursday, so there was plenty of time to celebrate a bit:
- The pivot from Eduardo Escobar to César Hernández was quick. How did it happen?
- Check out Zach’s terrific piece on Hernández, which ought to get you a bit excited about what he still has in the tank for 2021
- How in the world did we snag Ryan Tepera — arguably the best non-closer relief pitcher on the market — for Bailey Horn?
