Latest news and updates about the White Sox
Welcome to a new season of Chicago White Sox baseball. As always, we’ll be here to cover all 162 games for you, through bad times and who knows, maybe even some good. I’ve had the honor of covering nine Opening Days now at South Side Sox, with a record of 3-5. Well, at least this […]
After a long, cold, baseball-less winter, we’ve made it. At long last, here are the words I’ve been waiting to write since Game 7 of the World Series: Happy Opening Day! In case you missed it, Harrison and I put together a season primer with everything you need to know about the Brewers before today’s […]
The long offseason is officially over, as regular season baseball begins later today when the Brewers battle the White Sox in Milwaukee. If you’ve been tuned out during the winter, we’re here to get you up to speed on the Brewers’ offseason moves, the roster, the farm system, and the coaching staff. But first, let’s […]
Per site tradition, we make our picks and lay them bare for all to see. And this year, 10 of us took on the challenge. Here are our section-by-section picks, which we’ll revisit and tabulate in October to reveal the best and worst. And by all means, feel free to listen on four of our […]
The White Sox made it official ahead of Opening Day: the 26-man roster is set, the last cuts are in, and the 40-man has already taken a couple of hits before a single meaningful pitch is thrown. If you were looking for surprises, you won’t find many, but the IL is already rolling. Brooks Baldwin […]
Garrett Crochet came to the Boston Red Sox from the Chicago White Sox in a move that surely made the southsiders groan and throw everything within reach as far as possible. All Crochet did once settling in Beantown was post a 6.3 bWAR season that featured and AL-best 205.1 IP and MLB-best 255 Ks, efforts […]
Welcome back to regular season baseball! The Milwaukee Brewers are set to kick off their 2026 season with a visit from the White Sox in Milwaukee beginning Thursday afternoon. Coming off another busy offseason, the Brewers’ biggest change comes in the rotation, with Freddy Peralta with the Mets. Other key subtractions include Caleb Durbin in […]
Well, the White Sox almost had a winning record in the Cactus League, what with a 15-16-1 finish. Too bad it doesn’t matter. But they ended up losing their last five games, six if you include the Spring Breakout game. Good thing it doesn’t matter. Of course, their big hullabaloo this season is about “momentum,” […]
1951 White Sox legend Eddie Collins died at age 63, in Boston. Unquestionably the best second baseman in White Sox history (67.0 WAR), Collins also managed the team for two full seasons in the aftermath of the Black Sox scandal. Despite a gutted roster, Collins consistently maintained a record better than .500. He won a […]

This time of year is always a good time. Even when expectations for the White Sox are low, the weather is much better, baseball is returning, and we can have fun predicting how the season will pan out. We will start with catcher Kyle Teel, 24, whose MLB career got off to a fast start […]
1962 White Sox third baseman Andy Carey, traded to Philadelphia on December 15, is instead dealt to the Los Angeles Dodgers after refusing to report to the Phillies. (The White Sox ended up sending pitcher Cal McLish to Philadelphia for minor league second baseman Lou Vassie to offset the Phillies not getting Carey.) Carey, just […]
The following transcript was taken from the 2026 Federation of Meatballs’ 27th Annual “Jeez, This Guy is a Little Out There, Even for Us” Banquet Mayor McBall: The Federation of Meatballs has come to order. Our guest speaker is David James. Once again, we remind our audience that Mr. James requested that his remarks remain […]
The Athletics have finished up their spring schedule. With today’s 10-9 win over the Chicago White Sox the regular season is now next. All attention now turns to Friday’s Opening Night in Toronto when our A’s will play some meaningful baseball against the defending American League Champions. There were highs and lows for the team […]
The big, magic word for the White Sox this year is supposed to be “momentum.” Momentum works both ways, folks. To demonstrate without using video of a Russian dissident making the poor decision to stand by a an upper-story window, let us select this afternoon’s Cactus League finale. The Sacramento or wherever they’re playing this […]
It’s a morning game today — well, morning in Arizona — as the White Sox who end up making the team get packed up to fly to Chicago (where the wind chill will be 26° at game time, compared to about 70 degrees warmer in Phoenix). It’s down to the wire to see if the […]
1955 Roberto Clemente made a huge splash with a spring training performance at Fort Myers, Fla. against the White Sox. The rookie clouts a third-inning triple some 425 feet off of the center field fence, the deepest spot in Terry Park. The good news for the White Sox? Clemente attempted to stretch the hit into […]
We did it folks. The A’s are set to play their final exhibition game this morning, taking on the Chicago White Sox for the spring finale. Let’s finish out camp in a winning note. Right-handed Luis Morales is set to get the bal for the Athletics this morning. The righty has made five appearances so […]
Today marks the end of our AL Central preview series. The Chicago White Sox may have drawn first pick in the draft lottery, but their 60 wins were only good for the final entrant here. Unlike previous years, though, the White Sox are full of young, interesting hitters. While they aren’t likely to set the […]
Good morning! The Mariners secured a 4-2 win yesterday against the Chicago White Sox behind six dominant innings from Bryan Woo. He allowed one run on three hits with four strikeouts through 73 pitches. The Mariners will play in their final Spring Training game today (!) with Luis Castillo on the mound to face the […]
The next time Bryan Woo pitches, it will count for real. The Mariners beat the White Sox 2-1 in the next to last game of the preseason. Woo got the start and looked sharp. He needed just 73 pitches to get through his scheduled six innings. He struck out four, walked none, and gave up […]
Four, that’s right, four days to go until the games start meaning to mean! Until then, we’ll have to sate ourselves with whatever kind of scrap of news this is. Uh, alright? Nothing wrong with a little catching depth, I suppose? Korey Lee doesn’t have any options remaining and has had a productive spring, so […]
1904 Bob Elson, who would become the longest-tenured broadcaster in White Sox history, was born in Chicago. Elson graduated from DePaul but became a WGN voice in 1929 almost completely by accident, being pulled into an audition while merely taking a tour of KWK in St. Louis and then WGN snatching him home. He would […]
It’s a good thing that it’s still spring training and not the regular season because this was the type of performance that would’ve resulted in a very rough outing for Reynaldo López had it come in a game that counted. Instead, it’s something to think about with the regular season on the horizon as López […]
For a year-and-a-half starting in 2024, the White Sox ran out one of the worst offenses in modern history. Due to a combination of dumb luck and an influx of young bats, the club climbed out of its hitting tomb and started haunting MLB pitching in the second half last year. Unfortunately, this coming summer […]
