White Sox Minor League Update: July 19, 2026
Durham Bulls 3, Charlotte Knights 2Despite outhitting the Bulls (43-51), 11-5, the Knights (50-46) couldn’t muster up more than two runs, dropping their first series back out of the break. Lefthander Shane Murphy made his 15th start of the season and ended up with two runs allowed (one earned), struggling with three walks throughout his […]
The Young and the Relentless: Burke and the Montgomerys stifle Jays, 3-0
In his postgame interview on Peacock today, Colson Montgomery was asked how the White Sox withstood a nine-K start from Toronto star Trey Yesavage to eventually break through and bounce him from the game: “Just be relentless.” As is the wont of a rare national interviewer, that chat quickly came around to asking about the […]
Game Thread: White Sox(51-46) at Blue Jays (46-52)
Who would’ve thunk last fall watching Trey Yeasavage mow through AL hitters that just a few long months later, we’d be saying things like “Yeah he’s good, but Sean Burke might wind up getting some Cy Young votes, has the advantage.” Obviously I’m being rather liberal with the royal “we” there, because I might really […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Roch’s our lock, but all the picks proved popular
In retrospect, who issues a poll asking whether the No. 1 overall choice in a draft is a team’s most popular pick? Well, South Side Sox does, that’s who. And while Roch Cholowsky ran away with the poll win, in a year where a team did a lesser job of crushing the draft, Roch’s win […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 18, 2026
What a fun way to kick off tonight’s update! With 20 of 21 players from the draft now having signed, the White Sox released footage of the 2026 draft class working out during Draft Camp in Charlotte: Your browser does not support the video tag. With the future looking solid, let’s take our usual biweekly […]
Chicago White Sox 2026 draft pick signing tracker
July 18 updateWith a last flurry of bonus amounts via Baseball America and Future Sox, we now has a complete class of signings, as Draft Camp in Charlotte gets underway. Round 20 pick Connor Fennell will not be signing with the White Sox. The club apparently did push $643,200 past their bonus pool, meaning it […]
Blue Jays fly over White Sox, 1-0
When you have a game featuring one pitcher who was once a superstar but has been awful all year facing another who was a big star earlier in the season but hadn’t been for weeks, it could go either way — slugfest or pitchers’ duel. Duel it was, and a good one. Fast one, too […]
Game Thread: White Sox (51-45) at Blue Jays (45-52)
Given how much the White Sox have crushed right handed starters recently, Sox fans seeing another righty on the schedule may well go, “Oh, yesss!!” Then when they see who it is, they may well go, “Oh, noooo!!!” And then, when they look at recent stats, they’ll be back to, “Oh, yesss!!” again. That’s because […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 16-17, 2026
Durham Bulls 8, Charlotte Knights 2Coming out of the midseason break, Charlotte looked sluggish in its 8-2 loss to Durham. The only two runs came from a two-out Bulls throwing error in the top of the first and Ryan Galanie’s RBI single in the fourth. In the end, Charlotte put more men on base with […]
White Sox continue dominance of Blue Jays, win in 12-4 rout
The season may be 162 games long, but there are certain games that hold more weight than others. In the case of the White Sox, there are few that will hold as much weight as tonight’s game being the first after the All-Star break. It set the tone for the second half, which will be […]

Game Thread: White Sox (50-45) at Blue Jays (45-51)
With the All-Star break now behind us, it’s back to the grind of the MLB season. In what can only be described as the shock of the season, the Chicago White Sox enter the second half of the season tied for first atop the AL Central. With 67 games left, the final push for the […]
Three starting pitcher rental targets for the White Sox
At the midseason break, the 50-45 White Sox find themselves in the most ideal place one could ask for: Tied for first with Guardians, in one of the weakest MLB divisions — second to only the AL West by a couple of games, and with their starters all healthy. For a team seeking to finish […]
From fan to credentialed media: My unforgettable weekend covering the 2026 MLB draft
There are moments in life when you have to stop and ask yourself, “How in the world did I get here?” Walking into the Pennsylvania Convention Center last Saturday morning with an official MLB media credential hanging around my neck was one of those moments. Four years ago, I wasn’t writing about baseball. I wasn’t […]
Today in White Sox History: July 17
1917 In the opener of an eventual doubleheader sweep over the Senators, Eddie Cicotte spun a one-hitter for his 15th win of the season. Chick Gandil had the big offensive game for Chicago, going 3-for-4 with an RBI double. The win pushed the White Sox to 21 games better than .500, at 52-31. They made […]
White Sox unveil 2027 schedule
All right, White Sox fans, grab a pen and brace yourselves: Major League Baseball just dropped the 2027 schedule. Opening Day is set for a Wednesday night, March 24, with an exclusive Netflix game, though nobody knows who’s actually playing. It will be the earliest Opening Day in MLB history. The rest of the league […]
What brought on the strange final pre-break week of the White Sox?
The homestand before the All-Star break went to wild extremes. Sure, being swept in the first series was in part because Boston is a pretty good team despite its record. And sweeping the second one was in part because the A’s are awful, especially with their best hitters out or slumping. But the handedness thing […]
Today in White Sox History: July 16
1920 With the White Sox down to their last two outs in the ninth, trailing the Senators, 5-4, Joe Jackson capped a rally by hitting an inside-the-park grand slam past (or over) Washington center fielder Sam Rice. That score, 8-5, would hold up as a winner for the White Sox. It was at least the […]
Miguel Vargas is the turnaround
On July 28, 2024, the Dodgers beat Houston 6-2, improving their record to 63-44. Miguel Vargas didn’t play in that game and would never play for the Dodgers again. The next day, the Dodgers traded him to the White Sox, who lost in Kansas City, dropping to 27-82. The Dodgers went on to win the […]

Miguel Vargas blasts home run in AL All-Star Game win
Whatever it is about the All-Star Game that puts a chokehold on the National League should be studied. Once again, the American League prevailed, shutting out the NL in Philadelphia, 4-0. If you had the NL being held to three hits on your bingo card, then congrats, you win, because the bats were borderline silent, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: June 13-14, 2026

Munetaka Murakami slams nine HRs, falls just short of semis in 2026 Home Run Derby
Halfway across the world in Japan, and in half of Chicagoland homes, all eyes were on White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami and his performance in the 2026 Home Run Derby Mune, fresh off of the injured list and with only five total games under his belt before setting up in the Derby batters’ box, made […]
