The Chicago White Sox have to fill a few more roster spots. Host Todd Welter and Beefloaf of fromthe108.com discuss how the type of players the White Sox will add to fill those spots probably will not be very appealing.

They weigh the merits of roster “fat” versus depth, unraveling which minor additions could actually benefit the lineup and bullpen. The conversation spotlights the futures of core players such as Colson Montgomery, Luis Robert Jr., and Miguel Vargas, while tackling rumors surrounding hot prospects Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero. Bold trade proposals, positional battles, and the question of whether the White Sox can revive careers or build sustainable success fuel the debate.
