Afternoon radio host on 670 The Score in Chicago Matt Spiegel joined the show. Matt was able to tell us about Jacob Gonzalez, one of the newest Pirates. Gonzalez was acquired by the Pirates on Friday night in a deal with the White Sox. Matt said Gonzalez started to catch his stride in the minors, but was bumpy when he got called up to the bigs. The White Sox asked him to play 1B, which he played none of in the minors. Matt thinks the Sox may regret parting ways with Gonzalez if they have an injury or two in the second half. Matt thought Gonzalez actually made it difficult for the White Sox to take him out of the lineup even after a rocky start. Matt explained why the trade was made from the White Sox perspective, but he thinks Ben Cherington may find something here.
