Rundown

• [Intro] Latest update regarding the White Sox pursuit of a new stadium in the South Loop is now forcing them to work on a single proposal with the Chicago Bears. How is Springfield feeling about the proposals and conversations with Jerry Reinsdorf? Guest Brenden Moore joins the show to share his unique insight covering Illinois politics and circles two important dates when a proposal could be voted on.
• [22:44] Dylan Cease is throwing harder in Spring Training than last year's camp. Why that's a good sign and why Cease thinks everyone is sleeping on the White Sox.
• [33:27] Erick Fedde made his first start for the White Sox and looked good against right-handers. However, there's a question about his attack plan against left-handed bats moving forward.
• [38:55] For two innings, Michael Kopech looked strong striking out five. Question now is how he looks when starts start to push more than four innings if he's purely just fastball / slider arsenal.
• [41:02] While Garrett Crochet is still searching for a second pitch to throw for strikes, his fastball seems to have recapture his missing velocity since Tommy John surgery
• [49:04] Pedro Grifol's comments about the second batter in the lineup causes confusion
• [58:35] After Matt Chapman signs for a small deal with the San Francisco Giants has Scott Boras overplayed his hand with his four big clients?
