Beef LoafHOST
He saw Riku Nishida.
Beef LoafHOST
He saw Junior Perez.
Beef LoafHOST
He said, I do not want either of them taking one playoff at bat if we fucking get there.
Beef LoafHOST
So if anyone gets hurt on this roster, we are fucked.
Sean AndersonHOST
Pham was currently on a minor league deal, so that's why he's able to be traded.
Sean AndersonHOST
Now, Jeff Passan is mentioning that tomorrow, Tommy Pham will be added to the White Sox active roster, meaning the White Sox will have to make a 40-man move, whether that is designating Junior Perez for assignment, whether that is designating... our guy Riku Nishida for assignment maybe Kyle Teal's healthy I think that's a bit of a stretch I do think they want to get him a little bit more time down in Charlotte although he is playing rehab games you know if somehow out of nowhere Teal's ready you DFA Rogers.
Sean AndersonHOST
And then that way you have the catchers, uh, the two catchers.
Sean AndersonHOST
It doesn't seem like they're going to go with three catchers, uh, with the addition of fam.
Sean AndersonHOST
had been playing in their AAA affiliate for a bit, but Pham was currently on a minor league deal, so that's why he's able to be traded.

Sean AndersonHOST
So we'll see how this plays out.
6 MINS LATER
Sean AndersonHOST
It was a fairly like inconsequential roster spot.
Sean AndersonHOST
I'm more upset about the pitching thing.
Sean AndersonHOST
So it was either going to be Junior Perez or Riku Nishida as the 27th hitter.
Sean AndersonHOST
I don't think either of them were going to produce much.
Todd WelterHOST
Other options were less interesting.
Todd WelterHOST
Riku Nishida, glorified pinch runner Junior Perez.
Todd WelterHOST
Tons of power if he can manage to make contact.
Todd WelterHOST
Third catcher, let's not go there.
20 MINS LATER
Todd WelterHOST
was they got to make sure they get this pitching call up right.
Todd WelterHOST
So McDougal's got to throw strikes.
Todd WelterHOST
But that, whoever they added off the bench, he was always going to be a role player anyways, whether it was Riku Nishida as a pinch runner, Junior Perez as a power bat off the bench, or now adding an experienced... veteran presence like Tommy Pham.
Todd WelterHOST
Well, that wraps up this edition of Lockdown White Sox.
James FoxHOST
Um, And then, like, every infielder they have on the 40-man is on the big league team.
James FoxHOST
You know, and then you have Riku and Junior Perez on the 40-man, like, in the minors.
James FoxHOST
So, yeah, I mean, there's going to be some interesting, you know, I mean, I feel like Thorpe is a 40-man move.
James FoxHOST
And that might be the only thing they need to do.

Jackson Novy was an undrafted free agent from Kentucky.
Jesse Goldberg-StrasslerGUEST
Great sign by the White Sox.
James FoxHOST
I mean, like, yeah, like, there are options.
James FoxHOST
Like, they have Junior Perez and, yeah, I mean, I- Bonhamer would be, I don't know, like, a little bit nutty, kinda surprising, right? When do, when do, uh-
