Hey everybody, it's Chuck Garfine and welcome to the White Sox Talk podcast. Coming to you as always from our great friends at WinTrust.

So after Carlos Rodin had the best season of his career in 2021, many expected that

the White Sox would make him the qualifying offer at $18 million for next season and give him

the decision to either take it and come back for another year or leave it and test free agency giving the white socks

a draft pick as compensation well that didn't happen the white socks did not make him the

qualifying offer possibly saying goodbye to rodon letting him walk away without getting anything in return.

So why did the White Sox make this decision?

What were the reasons behind it?

And what does this mean for the White Sox rotation in 2022?

Ryan McGuffie, Vinnie Dober, and Maddie Lee are going to join me to lay it all out.

We're going to share what Rick Hans said about the decision on Monday.

And remember a year ago when almost every White Sox fan gave up on Rodon.

They did not want him back, even though the White Sox brought him back.

Could the same thing happen next year with Dallas Keiko?

We're going to talk about that as well.

But first, the big story, Carlos Rodon, and the qualifying offer that didn't happen,

it's coming your way.
