Duke Coughlin, Jordan Lazowski, and Nik Gaur welcomed Josh Nelson, host and producer of the Sox Machine Podcast.
The crew discussed Chris Getz's draft strategy, why the club leaned heavily toward position players, the decision to select Roch Cholowsky over Grady Emerson, Landon Thome's rise, and some of Josh's favorite under-the-radar selections.
They then shifted their focus to the big-league club as they took a look at the White Sox' surprising 50-win first half. What's fueled the team's success, what concerns remain after the All-Star break, and what should Chris Getz do ahead of the August 3 trade deadline?
