1908 In what was the first-ever direct trade with the Red Sox, the White Sox sent catcher Ed McFarland east in exchange for catcher Al Shaw.

1918 Just one season removed from a (still) franchise-best 100 wins and World Series title, Charles Comiskey replaced manager Pants Rowland with Kid Gleason.

1890 Harry Grabiner, first and longest general manager of the White Sox, was born in Chicago. He was a 40-year employee of the team, rising literally from peanut vendor to vice president. Grabiner served under three Comiskey owners: Charles, J. Louis, and Grace. At the time, “general manager” wasn’t really a stand-alone position, so Grabiner […]

Emerging victorious from a late, dead tie was outfielder Christian Gonzalez, earning 13 of 60 (22%) votes: Gonzalez has completed just two short seasons in the White Sox system, thus this is his first taste of our Prospect Vote. It […]

1927 Nellie Fox — the second-best second baseman, fourth-best hitter, and 11th-best player in White Sox history by WAR (47.4) — was born in St. Thomas, Pa. Although certainly more in line with players of his time, Fox was an undersized 5´9´´, achieving his stardom with the grit that came to personify the Go-Go White […]

Smiles were still abundant around Rate Field from the Munetaka Murakami signing when the White Sox hung another, much smaller ornament on the tree.

Chicago Cubs Named Among Possible Kazuma Okamoto Destinations

Japanese slugging corner infielder Kazuma Okamoto is available to MLB teams until January 4, at which time his posting period ends. Either he’s signed a contract by then, or he hasn’t, and that’s now less than two weeks away. I’d say things have to start heating up soon, but then again, we didn’t really hear much of anything on Munetaka Murakami until a few days before his posting concluded, and he ultimately signed a two-year, $34 million deal with the White Sox this weekend. Jon Heyman ...

All in the cards

Once again, we are on holiday autopilot, which means that barring the unexpected, it should be a very quiet week.
