Latest news and updates about the White Sox
Sure, it’s too early to start counting on the calendar to determine which White Sox arm is in line for Opening Day on March 26 but … well, OK, I just did. And today’s starter, Shane Smith, going every five days lands him at March 25. So, as makes absolute sense, Shane Smith is your […]
It’s not often you get saved by the Bell twice with a few minutes, but it happened to Mike Vasil and White Sox this afternoon and made it possible for a come-from-slightly-behind victory. The third win of the spring wasn’t as definitive as the first two, and it was as much the result of Milwaukee […]
The Milwaukee Brewers had their first split-squad day of the spring on Sunday, as part of the team visited the Chicago White Sox in Glendale, and the others stayed in Phoenix to battle the Kansas City Royals. With a pair of losses, the Brewers fell to 0-3 in the Cactus League as their hopes for […]
Having crunched their first two opponents by a combined score of 19-3, the White Sox will try to extend the streak of slaughters against a Brewers split squad today. Mike Vasil, who did an excellent job in relief last year and is under consideration for a rotation slot for 2026, will start the parade of […]
After a losing effort against the Guardians on Saturday afternoon, the Brewers are back at it with their first split-squad day of the spring. The road Brewer squad is in Glendale, where they’ll take on the Chicago White Sox, while the home team welcomes the Royals to American Family Fields of Phoenix. In the road […]
Predicting how many games the Chicago White Sox will win in 2026 is challenging because of the odd mix of veterans and inexperienced players and the current state of their rebuild. Plus, there’s always the inherent bias of underestimating a team that is under Chris Getz’s management. Fortunately, statistics provides an unbiased and clear way […]
Still undefeated!!! The Sox are a mighty 2-0, with total runs of 19-3. Can we call it a season now? The A’s decided not to play any major league regulars in their Cactus League opener and the White Sox took advantage, scoring five runs in the first three innings, mainly thanks to Edgar Quero having […]
Well we got baseball. Some ugly baseball for A’s fans but baseball nonetheless. The Athletics dropped their first game of the 2026 season this afternoon, dropping the first Cactus League game to the Chicago White Sox 11-2 to kick things off down in Arizona. Right-hander Jack Perkins was on the bump this afternoon, hoping to […]
The undefeated (OK, 1-0, if you insist) Chicago White Sox get home turf at Camelback this afternoon to face the also undefeated (but just 0-0) Sacramento/Las Vegas/You Name It A’s, as they follow the usual early Cactus League procedure of having no starters back from yesterday’s game. That game was lots of fun slaughtering the […]
BASEBALL IS BACK BABY!!! Okay, maybe it’s just Spring Training and today’s games will likely feature mostly backups, depth players and prospects, but baseball is baseball damn it. We got a game today against the Chicago White Sox to kick off our spring schedule, the first of 32 exhibition contests including a few split-squad contests […]
We’re back recapping every single White Sox game, and that starts with Spring Training! The White Sox season begins on Friday, February 20 at the Cubs and packs 33 games into 32 days. After that barrage, it’s off to the 162-game marathon, beginning up in Milwaukee, taking on the Brewers on March 26. Check back […]
MESA, Arizona — The Cubs lost to the White Sox 8-1 in the first Spring Training game of 2026. To which I say: Who cares? Wins and losses mean nothing until March 26. A few notable things happened in this game, so let’s look at them. Seiya Suzuki homered in his first spring at-bat [VIDEO]. […]
It’s rare that a Cactus League opener is better welcomed for its final score than for the mere notion that baseball is back. But with an 8-1 walloping of the Cubs at their Sloan Park home field — and against a true Cubs rotation piece in Jameson Taillon, at that — the White Sox managed […]

Go get ‘em, xxxxxxx
Even if there are some of you out there who, for whatever twisted reasons, root for the White Sox to lose, on one thing we should be able to agree: Beat the Cubs, always. That includes a Cactus League opener on the road, with roughly three players likely to be in the White Sox lineup […]

Rotation battles aren’t always super-interesting when you’re projected to threaten triple-digit losses for the fourth straight year. But they’re always happening! Here are some thoughts and ideas about how the spring might change what this year’s Opening Day starting five looks like. Absolute, 100% Locks Shane SmithIn a way, Smith is the reason for this […]
For me, there’s a clear answer here but it’s not the one you’re thinking. There’s division rivals and the historic, heated division races the Twins have had with the Tigers through the 2000s and White Sox in the late 2010s. There’s the Yankees, the source of Minnesota’s postseason misery for nearly two decades. The Dodgers […]
We’ve asked you to indulge in a “Maximum Fun” scenario, dreaming of Munetaka Murakami turning the South Loop into a home run derby and Noah Schultz making All-Stars look like they’re trying to hit a frisbee in a hurricane. It’s a nice change of pace. But we’re White Sox fans. We know that for every […]
It’s that time of year again. The wind off the lake is still occasionally biting, the potholes on 35th Street are reaching record depths, and yet, the first sign of life is finally here. The White Sox have dropped their Spring Training broadcast schedule, and for those of us who have spent the winter itching […]
Yesterday, we collectively held our breath and dreamed of a world in which things finally go right. We thought about a 2026 season in which the grass is green, kids stay healthy and our “Maximum Fun” meter reaches goliath proportions. But being a White Sox fan often requires us to confront the reason that there […]
Spring Training in Glendale is officially in full swing, and if you haven’t already muted the “Chris Getz is building a team of 2023 roster castoffs” jokes on X, now might be the time. The biggest buzz at Camelback Ranch isn’t just the desert heat; it’s the arrival of Munetaka Murakami. While most of the […]
