Episode 143 is now available for your listening enjoyment. Here is this week’s rundown:
- Jim and Josh visited Denver this past weekend and shared their experiences. Jim saw the White Sox get outscored 22-4 and almost saw a no-hitter, while Josh witnessed Tim Anderson redeeming himself with a blast off Greg Holland. We also contemplate with Willy Garcia being sent back to Charlotte, who will get called up to join the 25-man roster?
- Our main discussion this week is determining how the playoff contenders should handle the upcoming trade deadline. Which teams are better off keeping their prospects to stand pat because they have good odds of reaching the postseason? Which teams could use a minor upgrade without breaking the pipeline and the teams that need to be ultra aggressive. A friend of the podcast, Dan Szymborski of ESPN shares his great insight on how teams should maneuver July.
- Finally, we answer your questions in P.O. Sox with Patrick Nolan filling in for Jim. Here are this week’s questions:

Do you see the Sox kicking in salary to get better prospects back? Lately we have been expecting teams to take on their contracts. #PoSox
