Summary

Chuck Garfien’s Spring Training Podcast-pa-looza rolls on with White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor, who joins the show after turning heads at SoxFest and building momentum late last season. Taylor reflects on the biggest lessons from his rookie year, the mentality he carried to the mound in 2025, and how finishing strong shaped his confidence heading into camp, plus what it means to hear praise from GM Chris Getz. The conversation also dives into the bullpen dynamic, from who brings the most heat to working alongside arms like Seranthony Dominguez, and he also talks about what it's like working with new pitching coach Zach Bove. Taylor shares what he emphasized this offseason, why there’s real buzz around the team, how he stays connected with Paul Skenes, and the special bond he has with his brother as his journey in pro ball continues to unfold.
