On a special edition of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox welcome a fountain of draft knowledge in the form of Joe Doyle of FutureStarsSeries.com. He was gracious enough to give us an hour plus. There is a lot of information packed into a short time.
The opening topics include: Draft strengths and weaknesses by category, what kind of impact you will see in the Top 100 lists from the drafted players, and the helium players that have raised their stock in the back half of the prep and college season.
They move into what the Guardians are doing, and the process of "cutting a deal" and why it plays such a huge part in the MLB draft. They move on to what the White Sox can expect to have available at number 5, and what they should do. There is some talk of what will be the strategy of the White Sox in the next couple rounds.
They close with what George Wolkow's draft expectations could have been if he had not reclassified, and the FutureSox Podcast goes to task on finding a deal for Joe's Mariners with White Sox players.

On the latest episode of Hot Takes & Heaters Nick Murawski and Danny Miller discuss the recent report from Bob Nightengale that the Sox are shopping Crochet, Robert, and Benintendi (lol). The White Sox sold out for Mexican Heritage night, but will they ever be able to be consistent with that kind of attendance? Thorpe and Cannon have some promising outings, TA is DFA'd in Miami, and the Sox can't score with RISP. That and more.

On this special episode of the FutureSox Podcast Ian Eskridge and James Fox welcome Tyler Jennings of Prospects Live for some serious draft chat. They discuss what Tyler feels is the strength of the draft and who you can expect to end up in the top 10 at this point. As White Sox fans, we are all pretty much disgusted that the Guardians ended up with the first pick in the draft, but Ian and James asked Tyler where he thought their strategy would take them with the first overall pick.
Once they got past the names everybody knows and expects to be called in the top 10, Tyler was asked who his favorite guys outside of the top 10 are. He had some interesting answers and probably a few you either don't know or don't expect.
Of course the most important question the FutureSox Podcast has for Tyler is who he thinks the White Sox will go with at number 5, and who will be available.
You can find Tyler Jennings on Twitter/X @TylerJennings24 and you can find his work as the Director of Draft Content on Prospects Live here.

Nick Murawski and Danny Miller discuss the first game of the annual White Sox/Cubs series live. They also discuss the recent roster moves that have seen Lenyn Sosa. Luis Robert Jr., Zach DeLoach all return. Meanwhile Zach Remillard gets DFA'd for the 3rd time, Dom Fletcher is in a sling, Tommy Pham has a sprained ankle. It's been a long week already, and it is getting longer with the winless streak reaching 12 despite HR's from Lenyn Sosa and Luis Robert and a big diving catch from Gavin Sheets. The bullpen just couldn't hold the lead after the rain delay. Danny's 74 win prediction is looking like it may be in peril.
