Beyond 162: Proving It | Episode 7

In Episode 7 of Beyond 162, presented by @Rate_Official, the White Sox keep proving what this group can become - adding impact talent for the stretch run, celebrating a franchise icon and embracing the history that comes with wearing a major-league uniform.

Go behind-the-scenes at the Trade Deadline as General Manager Chris Getz explains the additions of Luis Castillo and other players who can help the club now and in the future.

The episode also honors Ozzie Guillén as his No. 13 is retired by the White Sox. Ozzie, his family and former players reflect on the 2005 World Series championship, the trust that defined his clubhouse, his Venezuelan roots and what it means to see the Guillén name forever displayed at the ballpark.

At Fenway Park, Munetaka Murakami, Grant Taylor, Colson Montgomery, Kyle Teel, Tristan Peters and their teammates step inside the Green Monster to add their signatures alongside generations of Major Leaguers. Then, ride along with roommates Mike Vasil and Chase Meidroth as they head across Chicago for a Crosstown matchup at Wrigley Field.
