Summary: The Chicago White Sox finish the 2026 season at 84-78 and now prepare for their Wild Card matchup against Houston. Josh Nelson and Jim Margalus share their thoughts on how the 2026 regular season went. Why it was the best kind of surprise, why there could be some regret about not winning the division, and why no White Sox fan can take for granted what this season has provided.
Then, in the Wild Card preview, who will be the White Sox X-Factor? Can the White Sox keep Yordan Alvarez in check? Will they figure out how to limit Jeremy Pena's damage?
