Will the Chicago White Sox's offseason be as disappointing as predicted? With ownership's reluctance to authorize much spending in free agency, the team's ability to get better is going to be limited. Garrett Crochet is also likely to get traded. That shapes up for a terrible offseason that is discussed with Barstool Chicago's White Sox Dave.

Host Todd Welter and Dave dive into the White Sox's hiring Will Venable as the new manager, player development struggles, inconsistent hitting philosophy, and communication gaps with fans. Todd and Dave also address the impact of Jerry Reinsdorf's ownership on the team's competitive edge.

The Chicago White Sox have made Yoan Moncada a free agent after declining to pick up his option. Eloy Jimenez is also now a free agent after the Baltimore Orioles declined his after trading for the former Sox DH. Those two can be seen as huge disappointments in White Sox history, but Andrew Vaughn deserves to be in the conversation.

Hear host Todd Welter explain why Eloy will always be the biggest disappointment of the three, but Vaughn is certainly ahead of Moncada on the list. Then Todd discusses why the Sox should not pursue Chicago Cubs legend Anthony Rizzo in free agency. Finally, he goes over the hope the team top prospect, starting pitcher Noah Schultz provides.
