Rundown

• [Intro] Audio from Chicago White Sox manager Will Venable, who chimes in on Munetaka Murakami, Sean Newcomb, and how he wants to see the starting pitchers compete for the final spots in the rotation. 
• [7:37] Sean Newcomb meets with the White Sox media since signing a one-year contract. Newcomb shares why he picked the White Sox, how Mike Vasil and Shane Smith helped with recruitment, and why the sinker is his key pitch. 
• [12:05] James Fegan joins the show to discuss his recent feature on Edgar Quero. More details on how Quero is aiming to improve hitting for more power and pitch framing. If Quero can be a 10-home run or better hitter, can the White Sox get at least 25 homers from the catching position in 2026?
• [29:30] Around MLB: Tarik Skubal and the Detroit Tigers will square off in arbitration, and Alex Bregman is signing with the Chicago Cubs. When Justin Ishbia takes over, could the White Sox be a team in the future that offers big deferral dollars to sign the big free agents?
