Luis Robert Jr.'s All-Star Break slump + Chicago White Sox manager with OnTapSportsNet Besnik Zekiri

The Chicago White Sox are 6-43 since the All-Star break. Practically every player, including star player Luis Robert Jr., is underperforming, which is a big reason the team has been so bad since then. OnTapSportsNet.com's Besnik Zekiri discusses this along with who the new manager should be. Besnik discusses how Robert Jr's terrible season along with Garrett Crochet's post-All-Star break's struggles is one reason the team is on the cusp of being the club with the most losses in a 162-game season. Explore the search for a new manager with host Todd Welter and Besnik as he lists potential candidates like Willie Harris, Skip Schumacher, and Sandy Alomar. The episode also evaluates the White Sox's farm system, questioning its potential as a foundation for future success. Prospects such as George Wolcott and Colson Montgomery are discussed, with a focus on the risks of overhyping young talent. Criticism arises over the team's reliance on veteran players instead of developing young talent during this losing season.
