## Resource

Chuck Garfien opens the mailbag and answers a wide range of questions from White Sox fans in this Ask Me Anything episode. He shares his thoughts on Braden Montgomery's future, compares the current White Sox to teams from different eras of franchise history, and identifies the South Side hitter opposing pitchers least want to face right now. Chuck also tackles a wave of trade deadline scenarios, including whether he would pursue Tarik Skubal, which impact bat he'd like to add, and the surprising All-Star he’d target in a hypothetical deal. Plus he recommends some of his favorite White Sox books, reflects on memorable pickup basketball games during his ESPN days, shares his favorite pizza, and looks back on cherished memories of Stacey King.
