White Sox acquire you in the Aaron Bummer trade.

What will you bring to the White Sox?

I'll tell you I'm going to give 110% every single day.

I'm going to bust my ass down the line.

I'm going to play really good defense anywhere they want to put me around the diamond.

And then I'm going to be a scrappy out.

What better place to turn the page and look forward to some success,

but then back home in Chicago.

But I'm going to give it my all.

Well, it's way too early to tell if the White Sox won the Aaron Bummer trade.

But with just those words alone from Nikki Lopez, I would say they're out to the early lead.

Hey, everybody, it's Chuck Arfine.

This is the White Sox Talk podcast, brought to you by Win Trust.

And on the podcast today, it's a conversation, a great conversation with Nikki Lopez, who grew up going to White Sox games, and he will soon be playing for them.

He was at Game 2 of the 2005 World Series. Paul Canerico's

Grand Slam landed right near him.

He's going to talk about his 2005 memories, and he'll tell us who his

all-time favorite White Sox player is. Plus, the

importance of leadership, what he learned playing for the Braves this past season,

how the White Sox can turn things around next year, why he's such a big fan of Ozzy Gean,

and more. So everything Nikki Lopez wants to bring to his hometown White Sox.

That is coming up next.
