Smith's Full-Circle Start: White Sox vs Brewers

0:00It's March 26th, Milwaukee Brewer's news today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff. Shane Smith is getting the opening day start for the Chicago White Sox against the Milwaukee Brewer's. It's a full circle moment since the Brewer's first signed him as an undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest. He entered the Rule 5 draft before the 2025 season and the White Sox grabbed him as the very first pick. In the minors with Milwaukee, Smith posted a strong 2.69 ERA proving his talent even without a draft pedigree. His 2025 stats with Chicago sealed the deal, including a 3.81 ERA and 145 strikeouts over one. 146.1 innings on a tough staff. The White Sox love what he brings and on Thursday Smith gets a chance to remind his old team exactly what they let slip away.
