Latest news and updates about the White Sox
The San Francisco Giants entered the offseason with a lot of young starting pitchers who were equal parts exciting and unproven. Pitchers who could break camp with the team and prove to be a vital asset in the bullpen and critical rotational depth, like Hayden Birdsong was in the first half of last year. But […]
The Arizona sun was blazing, Giants fans were howling (it was so obnoxious on the live stream), and the White Sox? Well, tally up another one-run loss. Despite 101 mph on the gun, a bomb by Luisangel Acuña, and Miguel Vargas flashing leather, none of it mattered. The Sox couldn’t hold on late and dropped […]
The South Side swagger is alive and well, rolling into Camelback Ranch with a vengeance. Yesterday’s 5-1 beatdown of the Cubs was just what Sox fans needed with four bombs, a little catharsis, and a reminder that the Good Guys can still mash when the mood strikes. Now, Chicago gets to take their swings against […]
Good morning, baseball fans! San Francisco Giants Spring Training baseball is in full swing, so let’s take a look at what’s on deck this week. First up, the Giants will hit the road to take on the Chicago White Sox at 12:05 p.m. PST this afternoon. This will be the only road game until the […]
I really hate to keep beating the same drum, but I’m going to continue to be on the record as believing that the make-or-break aspect of the next would-be competitive era of White Sox baseball — the aspect that Rick Hahn and friends utterly failed at from 2017-19 — is going to be whether they […]
1901 Billy Sullivan of the National League’s Boston Beaneaters jumped to the upstart AL and the White Sox, where he would end up catching for 13 seasons. With a 63 career OPS+, Sullivan was considered a glove-first leader on the field. He was always among the AL leaders in fielding and had the best throwing […]
For the second game in a row, it only took two batters for the White Sox to score via the long ball. This time it was Edgar Quero’s turn. Alex Bregman returned the honor off Anthony Kay in the bottom of the first. Both of the first-inning homers were kind of cheap, not getting to […]
MESA, Arizona — The Cubs’ 5-1 loss to the White Sox on another very hot afternoon was painfully reminiscent of some Shōta Imanaga starts last year. Imanaga threw 47 pitches in 2.2 innings. Three of those pitches left the yard, solo homers by Edgar Quero, Austin Hays and Braden M0ntgomery, two of whom will likely […]

Go get ‘em, Shōta.
Do you think players trying to make the team or holdovers trying to keep their jobs care as much that the opponent is the Cubs as fans do? They probably have other things on their minds, but thumping That Other Team in Town back in the first Cactus League game was sure fun for us. […]
White Sox 5, Cubs 1: Here we go with Shōta Imanaga and the home runs again Overflow thread: Cubs vs. White Sox, Sunday 3/1, 2:05 CT First pitch thread: Cubs vs. White Sox, Sunday 3/1, 2:05 CT Cubs vs. White Sox at Mesa preview, Sunday 3/1, 2:05 CT
MESA, Arizona — Sunday notes… Here are today’s particulars. Cubs lineup: White Sox lineup: Shōta Imanaga will start for the Cubs. Other Cubs pitchers scheduled today: Hunter Harvey, Grant Kipp, Luke Little, Corbin Martin, Hoby Milner and Caleb Thielbar. Former Cub Anthony Kay will start for the White Sox. Today’s game is on Marquee Sports Network, […]
1901 In a monumental move as the White Sox entered the major leagues for the first time, the club snatched pitcher Clark Griffith from the crosstown Orphans (Cubs). Griffith was signed as both pitching ace and manager. In 1901, Griffith not only was the team MVP (7.4 WAR, and fourth in the AL) but guided […]
With most of the expected big hitters out of the lineup after yesterday’s split-squad games, some other sources made Tanner Bibee’s first inning of the spring a miserable one. For him. No. 2 hitter Sam Antonacci started things off for the White Sox when he got a 2-0 cutter that had too much of the […]
It’s a tense battle of division rivals today as the White Sox make the long trek to famed Goodyear, Ariz., apt home for the Guardians since Cleveland is only a José Ramírez homer from the base of Goodyear in Akron. Well, OK, it’s not really a tense battle, it’s as meaningless as all spring games, […]
1929 The White Sox traded star left fielder Bibb Falk to Cleveland for catcher Martin Autry — the first direct trade ever between Chicago and Cleveland. The logic of the deal is somewhat confounding, because while Falk was at the tail end of his career, Autry was simply awful for the White Sox: -0.8 WAR […]
The Milwaukee Brewers stayed hot in sunny Phoenix on Friday afternoon, taking down the Chicago White Sox for their fourth consecutive win to move to .500 at 4-4 in Cactus League play. The Crew did it behind a balanced offensive attack and some solid bullpen work late. Right-hander Brandon Sproat, one of Milwaukee’s acquisitions in […]
The White Sox gave us two games today, with the 100 or so players eligible for the games today split in half. Given that Gameday and radio was the best we could tune into for two simultaneous games, let’s just bullet-point some game performances, and let our game polls tell the rest of the story. […]
Today the Texas Rangers are back to playing only one spring training game. That game will be played from Camelback Ranch in Glendale, AZ where the Rangers will take on the Chicago White Sox. LHP MacKenzie Gore is set to take the mound for Texas opposite RHP Erick Fedde for Chicago. Today’s Lineups RANGERS WHITE […]
The White Sox have three split-squad game days this spring, including the Prospect Breakout game vs. the Dodgers. And, lucky you, today is the first! There no Munetaka Murakami today for the Sox — or for any time in the near future, as he has departed to join Team Japan in the World Baseball Classic. […]
The Milwaukee Brewers, having won their last three games after starting the spring slate with a four-game losing streak, will look to move back to .500 on Friday afternoon, as they take on the Chicago White Sox for the second time in a week (and second of two times this spring). The Brewers dropped the […]
1973 Coming off of his 1972 MVP season, Dick Allen signs a three-year, $750,000 contract with the White Sox, making him the highest-paid player in baseball. While contract details for early baseball are sketchy, this is believed to be the first time a White Sox player has been the highest-paid in the game. Oakland owner […]
Texas Rangers lineup for February 27, 2026, against the Chicago White Sox. Spring keeps springing along, and the Rangers have a spring-y lineup today for their game at the White Sox. This is especially true since Josh Jung has been scratched due to hamstring soreness and Corey Seager is under the weather, with Skip Schumaker […]
First things first: Munetaka Murakami is just fine. Skipper Will Venable originally had the slugger penciled in the starting lineup, but he scratched him before first pitch. That is never a sight you want to see in late February. But crisis averted. Deep breaths all around. And while we’re here, best of luck to Mune […]
