Ep. 51: Eloy Jimenez wants ”to be one of the best players in baseball”

The White Sox centerpiece in the Jose Quintana trade, Eloy Jimenez came on the podcast to talk with Chuck Garfien about what it was like being traded from the Cubs to the White Sox, his approach as a hitter and why he wants to be as good as Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout. He explains how he learned English, why it's important to him, and how far away he thinks he is from playing in the major leagues. Then Garfien speaks with Jimenez' new manager, Willie Harris, who is the skipper for the Winston-Salem Dash. Harris talks about his impressions of Jimenez, as well as some of the White Sox top prospects he manages: Zack Collins, Dane Dunning, Luis Basabe and Alec Hansen. Later, CSN's Chris Kamka joins the podcast to talk about the latest Todd Frazier trade rumors. Did a medical issue with a Red Sox prospect stall a possible Frazier trade to Boston? That and more on this edition of the White Sox Talk Podcast.
