This week, we asked you, fourth months in advance, whether you would draft UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky No. 1 overall in July. Your answer was yes, overwhelmingly. “A lot” can change over the course of spring baseball, both at the college and high school levels. But Roch sure seems to be a lock about right […]

1934 All-time White Sox playing and managing great Fielder Jones died, at age 62, in Portland. His 32.0 WAR for the club ranks 10th all-time among hitters and places him as the best center fielder in White Sox history. Jones was staggeringly good with the White Sox, never dipping below a 3.1 WAR season and […]
The White Sox and Giants kept the game low-scoring and close all evening, which in turn made it harder for me to keep my eyes open. And all for nothing, as it ended in a tie. Here is the breakdown for a mostly uneventful game: The first run Trevor McDonald has allowed this spring went […]
Happy 312 Day, Sox fans! Prior to tonight’s game, the team shared photos from the Los White Sox mural at Midway Airport, which spans 13,600 square feet. The White Sox look to bounce back after two straight losses in a rare late-night Spring Training matchup. It might be a tough hill to climb, though, as […]
Good morning, baseball fans! The San Francisco Giants will take on the visiting Chicago White Sox tonight at 6:05 p.m. PDT, with broadcasts on both NBC Sports Bay Area and KNBR. In the meantime, we are just under two weeks out from Opening Day, which is the best news I’ve heard in a long time. […]
1921 All eight Black Sox (Joe Jackson, Eddie Cicotte, Lefty Williams, Swede Risberg, Fred McMullin, Chick Gandil, Happy Felsch and even Buck Weaver) were suspended for life by commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis. None will play in the Major Leagues again. Jackson is banned for life, despite hitting .375 in the sordid 1919 World Series; Weaver […]
The White Sox dropped their second straight, this time 8-4 to the Angels. The bats showed up early, but the South Siders’ issues with stranding runners (2-for-18) continued. Their 4-0 early lead was gone in a blink, as the Halos rattled off eight straight runs and left the Sox staring at an 11-9 spring record. […]
The White Sox are back at Camelback Ranch, hoping to recover from yesterday’s beatdown by the A’s. The good news is the bats have been alive, and today’s another shot to keep the offense rolling against the Angels. First pitch at 3:05 p.m. CST. Anthony Kay gets the ball for Chicago, who’s looking to make […]
Chicago White Sox catcher Kyle Teel left Tuesday night’s World Baseball Classic tilt between Team Italy and Team USA after suffering right hamstring discomfort while running the bases. Team Italy manager Francisco Cervelli confirmed the injury as a right hamstring strain and that the team will replace Teel on the roster with Andres Annunziata. Teel […]
1930 Former White Sox coach and player in their minor league system, Bobby Winkles, was born, in Tuckerman, Ark. Winkles was signed by the White Sox out of Illinois Wesleyan University in 1951, though he would soon miss two seasons due to Korean War service. Winkles ended up playing seven minor league seasons, reaching Triple-A […]
While Tyler Glasnow threw a spring-high 4 1/3 innings on Tuesday for the Dodgers against the Arizona Diamondbacks, Roki Sasaki was looking to get back in sync on the mound. Sasaki allowed seven runs over his first two spring starts, but facing Chicago White Sox prospects on Tuesday, Sasaki marveled over four innings by allowing […]
It was another high-scoring affair for the White Sox (11-8), who broke up their win streak by dropping Tuesday’s matchup against the Athletics (8-10), 11-7. Each team played 18 position players and seven pitchers, and despite exchanging the lead back-and-forth for most of the game, the A’s were able to out-hit the South Siders 16-10, […]
If you spent the $20-$30 needed to attend today’s game as a spectator, you would’ve walked away having gotten your money’s worth. It was a back and forth battle at Hohokam Stadium! The White Sox got to A’s starter Jeffrey Springs early, in the first inning Edgar Quero and Lenyn Sosa would do some damage. […]
While the Seattle Mariners look to handle the Randy Arozarena – Cal Raleigh situation, the A’s prepare for what’ll be their second time squaring up against the Chicago White Sox in 2026. The first meetup between the two squads kicked off this year’s rendition of Spring Training – – and let’s just say the outcome […]
A little bit of housekeeping this afternoon. Nothing surprising here. With only 13 days left of Spring Training, some bigger changes are surely coming. Chicago’s offense hopes to stay hot in Tuesday’s game against the Athletics after the White Sox dropped 11 runs on the Colorado Rockies in just one inning on Monday afternoon for […]
Good morning! Yes, the A’s are playing the Chicago White Sox today and that is totally super important…but I (like many people I know) have my sights set on the USA vs. Team Italy WBC game scheduled for 6pm PDT. Being an Italian-American, tonights matchup is truly one that requires my full attention. Both teams […]

Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. This week, we proffer a very simple question: Do the White Sox take Roch Cholowsky […]
Coming off a pair of 84 wRC+ seasons in 2024 and 2025, Luis Robert Jr. was traded by the White Sox to the Mets in late January. The oft-injured 28-year-old Cuban center fielder had been with Chicago since playing rookie ball in 2017. At his very best in 2023, Robert was a force to be […]
1914 The White Sox their World Tour vs. the New York Giants to final rest with a banquet in the Gold Room of the Congress Hotel. Pitcher Joe Benz had to skip the celebration — he was getting married that day! Manager Nixey Callahan also had to book out west right after the celebration — […]
No matter how the 2026 season ends up going, we’ll always have the fourth inning of a who-cares Spring Training game on March 9. The White Sox steamrolled Colorado, 12-3, on the wings of a ridiculous 11-run outburst in the fourth inning. In the words of White Sox beat writer and witness to the massacre […]
Just a day after the White Sox announced the former Rule 5 draft pick Shane Smith would be the Opening Day starter, another Rule 5 pick takes the mound against the Rockies. Jedixson Paez, who was picked up on December 10, 2025, and was assigned to the White Sox prospects on March 5, will get […]
After taking a loss to the White Sox yesterday, the Royals will play another division rival in the Cleveland Guardians today. We’ll get another look at Ryan Bergert, whose appearances thus far in Spring Training have been relatively quiet. He’s thrown only three innings of one-hit ball. Cleveland sends Parker Messick to start. Messick is […]
1927 Popular White Sox outfielder Johnny Mostil attempted suicide in a hotel room in Shreveport, La. Despite razor cuts to his wrist, neck and chest, Mostil survived and returned to the team in April, although he’d only play in 13 games that season. Mostil suffered a number of injuries in his career, and had severe dental issues and […]
