Tristan Peters on his JOURNEY from the Savannah Bananas to the White Sox

Tristan Peters joins Chuck Garfien on the show to share the winding path that’s defined his baseball journey, from growing up in Canada to grinding his way through the minors and finally reaching the big leagues. He opens up about how he landed at SIU, his time with the Savannah Bananas, and the unique experiences that shaped him both on and off the field—including the unexpected story of how line dancing led him to meet his wife. Peters also reflects on navigating multiple trades; building relationships in the clubhouse, like with Tanner Murray, and what he learned during his 2025 season in Triple-A. Later, Peters breaks down his game, highlighting his defensive mindset and ability to impact games in different ways, including bunting. He shares what it was like being traded for cash considerations and delivering a walk-off hit against the Blue Jays in his first MLB home game. Plus, the episode closes with a special moment from the home opener, as the White Sox announce they will retire Ozzie Guillen’s No. 13, with Scott Podsednik surprising him in front of the home crowd.
