Why Sandlin is the big get, how the White Sox bullpen improves, and how refreshing it is to see the front office finally take on bad money for a chance to land a better prospect. [32:03] Earlier in the weekend, the White Sox reportedly signed outfielder Austin Hays. A move that convinces Jim to now take the Over on 65.5 wins for the White Sox in 2026, as their Opening Day lineup appears to be much stronger than last year's edition. [45:09] Sox Machine is celebrating 20 years covering the White Sox in 2026, with the official anniversary on February 1.
