White Sox Talk Podcast: Dylan Covey's second chance at baseball...and life

White Sox pitcher Dylan Covey comes on the podcast and opens up to Chuck Garfien about his battle with diabetes, a disease that almost ended his life in 2010.

He talks about his struggles last season, admitting "I wasn't ready for the major leagues," and explains why he's a better pitcher now because of it. Covey discusses what it was like being left unprotected by the Oakland A's, coming over to the White Sox in the Rule 5 draft, getting a second chance with the White Sox, beating Chris Sale at Fenway Park and much more.
