Episode Details

The White Sox just pulled off a bold trade, snagging catcher Joey Bart from the Braves in exchange for pitcher Duncan Davitt. Bart, a high draft pick with seven MLB seasons under his belt, is hitting around .226 with four homers and is poised to be a major upgrade over Chicago’s current catchers—whose combined OPS ranks as the worst in baseball. He’s already bounced between teams this year, starting with the Pirates before landing in Atlanta, where he’s now available due to Sean Murphy’s return. Meanwhile, the Sox are also beefing up their bullpen with veteran Huascar Brazoban and moving Erick Fedde to relief duties. GM Chris Getz isn’t done yet—even after acquiring starter Luis Castillo—he knows there’s still work to do as the season heats up.
