White Sox RAINOUT decision AVOIDS risky Hagen Smith debut against lethal Dodgers lineup this weekend

Locked On Podcast Network — Fri, 12 Jun 2026 15:00:00 GMT

The Chicago White Sox avoided a risky debut for top prospect Hagen Smith on Saturday, thanks to a timely rainout just before their high-stakes series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Could easing Smith in against weaker opponents spark a stronger start to his MLB career? Host Todd Welter breaks down the front office’s smart pivot, the challenges of debuting pitchers vs. hitters, and how the team’s young talent stacks up against elite offenses like the Dodgers.

Discussing Derrick Hill’s trade to the Philadelphia Phillies, Welter highlights the value of securing prospects for roster depth and the ongoing evolution of the White Sox’s outfield. Fan poll results reveal dissatisfaction with Luisangel Acuña, but his recent surge may keep him around longer. The episode also covers pitching strategies, bullpen priorities, the debate over catcher upgrades, and whether Chicago should target rotation help at the trade deadline—all while setting the stage for an action-packed weekend at Rate Field.
