ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Two big topics today. First, I'm joined by Sam Antonacci, my Team Italia teammate from the WBC and a rookie this past season with the White Sox. We talk about the whirlwind from the WBC to his debut, the college-like vibe in that clubhouse, learning left field, why he doesn't move on inside pitches, and what Benintendi and Will Venable meant to him. Then we go through the whole AL Central and what each team needs. The Royals have to fix a bullpen that blew 26 saves. The Tigers should reload after an unlucky year, and I love Shota Imanaga as a fit there. I'd blow it up if I were the Twins. The White Sox need to spend on pitching, and Cleveland will probably listen on Kwan and Adell. Thanks for listening!
