Episode Notes

After a tough first-half, the White Sox had been showing major signs of improvement. Chuck Garfien welcomes MLB Network’s Dan Plesac to break down a 17-game stretch that included seven comeback wins and one of the league’s hottest offenses since the All-Star break. They discuss the spark from rookies, Colson Montgomery’s breakout, and how Will Venable’s message has shifted the team’s approach. Plesac explains why the Sox feel like a “sleeping giant,” what September means for 2026, and why the worst may finally be behind them.
