White Sox Offensive Struggles, Carson Williams Joins Elite Company & More

The 2024 White Sox are experiencing one of the worst offensive seasons in memory. But how should the team’s fans feel about the potential for pulling out of this nosedive and getting back to relevancy in the American League Central Division?

On this week’s Hot Sheet Show, J.J. Cooper, Geoff Pontes and Scott Braun kick things off by taking a look into the problems plaguing the White Sox, including what can only be described as an alarming lack of internal offensive prospects to build around in future seasons.

Discussion then turns to the Dodgers’ ongoing pitching injury woes and a pair of prospects whose careers appear to be reaching opposite inflection points: Rays SS Carson Williams and Yankees OF Spencer Jones.

The show wraps with a reader question about JJ Wetherholt’s path through the Cardinals’ minor league system.
