Hey, everybody, it's Chuck Garfine.

Welcome back to the White Sox podcast.

And on the pod today, oh, it's one of my all-time favorite guests.

The one and only Steve Stone is here to provide insight, wisdom, and perspective on all things White Sox.

We talk about why last season happened

and why he believes next season will be better and hopefully much better.

There are many teams interested in acquiring Gera Crochet.

Steve has one team in mind in particular to watch.

We also talk about the kind of players the White Sox need to find and develop,

and the kind of baseball the White Sox need to start playing.

And hopefully that is starting right away in 2025.

And then we talk about one of Steve's former White Sox teammates.

Dick Allen, who is up for the Hall of Fame on Sunday at the start of the winter meetings.

Steve has stories to tell about Dick.

And I'm also going to play you something from Goose Gossage, who famously came on the podcast in 2021.

How do I put this?

Swearing up a storm talking about Dick and why he believes, like many others, that he should be in Cooper's Town.

And again, we're going to find out on Sunday.

So Steve Stone on the White Sox, on Gara Crochet, on Dick Allen, and more.

Here we go.
