I think this is an all-time high for the competitor in me.

Not only in a sense of, you know, there's a little bit of a chip on our shoulder as a team from coming off a pretty rough year.

And there's also that as an individual for me from coming

off of a pretty rough year. I feel great and ready to compete in that way. And honestly, a little

bit of adrenaline and butterflies coming back from when I was that 20-year-old that you met before.

Well, that Michael Kopeck that I met was right after the White Sox acquired him from the Red Sox in the Chris Sale trade.

And yeah, much more was expected from Michael by now.

We talk about that and a whole lot more on this edition of the White Sox Talk podcast brought to you by

Win Trust. Hey everybody, it's Chuck Arfine, White Sox Spring Training, and last year seemed like

it was going to be the year when Michael Kopeck would take the next step, like Dylan ceased

in 2022. But instead, he had his worst season. He had a five ERA. He led the American League in walks,

casting doubt among White Sox fans if he will ever be the pitcher that we expected him to be.

So on the podcast, Michael and I talk about what went wrong with him last season, what happened

to his command. And, you know, pitching coach Ethan

Katz came on the podcast last month and he said, we're going to see the best version of Michael

Kolpac that everybody wants to see this season. So is this a year that Michael Kopeck puts it

all together? We've got that plus another cameo from Dylan Sees,

who might break the all-time record for appearances on the podcast by a White Sox player.

That and more.

Coming up next.
