FutureSox Hot Takes & Heaters - Crosstown Vibes

Nick Murawski and Danny Miller discuss the first game of the annual White Sox/Cubs series live. They also discuss the recent roster moves that have seen Lenyn Sosa. Luis Robert Jr., Zach DeLoach all return. Meanwhile Zach Remillard gets DFA'd for the 3rd time, Dom Fletcher is in a sling, Tommy Pham has a sprained ankle. It's been a long week already, and it is getting longer with the winless streak reaching 12 despite HR's from Lenyn Sosa and Luis Robert and a big diving catch from Gavin Sheets. The bullpen just couldn't hold the lead after the rain delay. Danny's 74 win prediction is looking like it may be in peril.
