DON’T DO IT: The real REASONS the Chicago White Sox shouldn’t TRADE for Jacob deGrom this offseason

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 10 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

The Chicago White Sox should weigh the risks of pursuing Texas Rangers ace Jacob deGrom. With escalating payroll concerns and deGrom’s declining stats, is a blockbuster trade truly worth it, or should the Sox target frontline starters via free agency instead? The conversation explores whether deGrom’s high strikeout ability offsets his $37 million salary and no-trade clause, and if adding him would doom the team to repeat past mistakes.

Host Todd Welter tackles fan mail on what would make the offseason demoralizing, the value of “nickel and diming” the rotation, and how strategic signings could address critical gaps. The episode assesses the White Sox farm system ranking, debating prospects and trade options that could reshape the roster. Which White Sox rookie has the most long-term upside—and is Chicago poised for a true turnaround or more disappointment?

Michael King is the PERFECT fit for White Sox rotation, but COSTLY price tag means no deal is likely

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

NEW STAR: Is Miguel Vargas poised to be the Face of the White Sox? | CHGO White Sox Podcast

NO WAY: Why trading Miguel Vargas or Grant Taylor would DESTROY White Sox playoff CHANCES in 2027

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 04 Nov 2026 15:00:00 GMT

The Chicago White Sox face a pivotal decision—can they stay playoff contenders without trading away core assets? The conversation focused on why moving rising stars Grant Taylor or Miguel Vargas would be a mistake, pushing back against suggestions from a recent Bleacher Report article. The discussion explored the impact of Vargas’ unique skill set and Taylor’s emergence as a high-leverage arm, questioning the logic of dealing such talent when the team is clearly in win-now mode.

The discussion shifts to if Chase Meidroth was robbed of a Gold Glove.

A key theme that emerged was the cautionary tale of the White Sox’s recent trade deadline history, including the lackluster returns from the 2023 deals and the pitfalls of relying too heavily on prospects. Several points were raised, including the infield logjam with Caleb Bonemer and Roch Cholowsky, the importance of optimizing the bullpen, and lessons learned from failed roster moves by Rick Hahn and Kenny Williams. Will the White Sox prioritize immediate success or risk another rebuild misstep?

The White Sox will likely make offseason MODEST MOVES instead of making BOLD additions

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 03 Nov 2026 14:00:00 GMT

Chicago White Sox fans face another offseason of high hopes that will likely be tempered by more modest additions. With major free agent signings and blockbuster trades seeming unlikely, host Todd Welter and Besnik Zekiri of OnTapsSportsNet.com discuss how the club may instead target mid-tier options or explore the Japanese pitching market to get value and intrigue.

The conversation explores whether Colson Montgomery can rebound offensively, the ongoing need for power and contact hitters alongside Miguel Vargas, and the importance of depth after a remarkably healthy 2026 season. Insights include the White Sox’s smart poaching from successful clubs like the Rays, Brewers, and Dodgers, plus the looming uncertainty of MLB’s salary floor and potential labor disruptions in 2027. Can the Southsiders retool enough to contend, or will modest moves leave them short again?
