White Sox shouldn't TARGET Ryan Mountcastle and even Coby Mayo due to the roster redundancy issues

Описание: Chicago White Sox face tough trade decisions as rumors swirl around Orioles’ Coby Mayo and Ryan Mountcastle. Are these hit-first, defensively limited players a good fit, or do they add costly redundancy to the roster? Todd Welter breaks down the potential deals, weighing the risk of sacrificing pitching prospects like Tanner McDougal for Mayo against the team’s true needs in the outfield. Could the White Sox actually benefit from a Mountcastle bounce-back, or should they prioritize young talent with upside?

Key discussion points include the crowded battle for starting rotation spots as manager Will Venable plans to stretch out ten pitchers, the lingering issues at second base and right field, and what might have been if the team spent big on free agents like George Springer and Marcus Semien. With insight on organizational strategy, defensive holes, and the path to finally ending generational position gaps, this episode tackles the White Sox’s quest for sustained success.
