Summary

On the latest White Sox Podcast, Chuck Garfien is joined by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Derrick Goold to revisit the 3-team trade that landed Miguel Vargas on the White Sox. Now Vargas is leading the Sox in nearly every offensive category and could be an All-Star, while the Cardinals may be preparing to flip Erick Fedde at the deadline. They break down how the trade looks now versus then, what could still be ahead for all three teams involved, and if a Luis Robert Jr. deal with St. Louis makes any sense.
