Four of your very favorite South Side Sox staff — Brett Ballantini, Darren Black, Tommy Barbee and Tyrone Palmer — gathered in anticipation of the sprint to Friday’s 3 p.m. CT trading deadline. The White Sox haven’t done anything yet, so there was plenty of time to cover most everything:
- Yes, this is a second straight podcast where Brett can’t keep the program number straight, as this is mothership podcast 53, not 52
- Eduardo Escobar, the presumably attainable White Sox trade target, is off to Milwaukee. Huh?
- The White Sox front office traditionally (and reasonably) detested teams agreeing to deals, then continuing to shop players in the agreement — most famously, Mike Rizzo backing out of the Edwin Jackson-Adam Dunn deal in 2010.
