White Sox end first half in emphatic fashion with 9-1 win, series sweep over A’s
The first half is officially in the books, and the Chicago White Sox are in first place. Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery homered, Miguel Vargas and Kyle Teel had multi-hit performances, and Noah Schultz threw five mostly stress-free innings as the Good Guys picked up their 50th win of the season, 9-1 over the Sacramento […]
White Sox select LHSP Cameron Johnson in the 15th round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 435 overall)
In all my time at South Side Sox, this is the sort of draft I’ve been waiting to cover for the White Sox, one where the club just kept digging up quality picks even late in the draft, as opposed to going completely off of the MLB board by, like, the fourth round. The South […]
White Sox select OF Braden Holcomb in the 12th round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 345 overall)
Just like that, the White Sox may have taken their position in the catbird seat of the draft (top pick overall, dealing for an extra sandwich pick after the first round) and put an outrageous amount of distance between themselves and the runner-up, striking again with a massive talent nab in the 12th round, nabbing […]
White Sox select RHSP Kyle Casteel in the 11th round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 315 overall)
Surprise, surprise, the White Sox have struck some gold in the 11th round, nabbing No. 162 MLB prospect Kyle Casteel of Butler (Pa.) H.S. with the No. 315 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Particularly given the timing, coming after an hour break in the draft and following three straight college value picks. The White […]
Game Thread: Athletics (41-54) at White Sox (49-45)
For all of the surprises we’ve gotten out of a wonderful first half of play from the 2026 White Sox, it feels perhaps a little fitting that they’ll head into the break by addressing (or at least attempting to address) one of the premier uncertainties that will have a heavy hand and determining whether we […]
White Sox select OF Clay Burdette in the seventh round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 195 overall)
It was a back-to-back, strong-armed outfielders move from the White Sox in the seventh round, nabbing Clay Burdette from Xavier University with the No. 195 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Just three years ago, Burdette was regarded as one of the three best shortstops in Ohio, but blossomed as a right fielder after a […]
White Sox select OF Alex Weingartner in the sixth round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 166 overall)
The White Sox dipped back in to the high school bats arena in the sixth round, selecting 2026 New Jersey Player of the Year Alex Weingartner out of St. Augustine Prep (N.J.) H.S. with the No. 166 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Weingartner was a pitcher who was hitting 95-96 mph on the mound […]
White Sox select RHP Cal Scolari in the fifth round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 137 overall)
Imperfect but promising arms continue as the theme for the White Sox in the 2026 draft, as Cal Scolari is the next White Sox pick, as the 137th selection. Due to significant injury history — TJS in high school, missing his senior year and freshman year in college, and has pitched in just one college […]
White Sox select SS Roch Cholowsky in the first round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 1 overall)
The White Sox added a potential cornerstone player by selecting UCLA shortstop Daniel Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft, with the toss-up between Cholowsky and prep SS Grady Emerson apparently lasting deep into Saturday morning. But that all turned out to be a ruse, as Cholowsky admitted that […]
White Sox select 2B/3B Landon Thome in the second round of the 2026 MLB draft (34th overall)
The Thome legacy continues on the South Side, as Chicago used their newly-acquired 34th overall pick to select infielder Landon Thome, the son of White Sox legend and Hall-of-Famer, Jim Thome. In a swap on Friday evening, GM Chris Getz traded IF Jacob Gonzalez and RHP Brandon Eisert to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for […]
White Sox select 2B Cole Prosek in the second round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 41 overall)
The White Sox are simply addicted to middle infielders at this point, using their third selection of three so far in the draft to snag Magnolia Heights (Miss.) H.S. second baseman Cole Prosek with the 41st pick in the MLB draft. Prosek is a bat-first infielder who just this year started catching, which adds an […]
White Sox select RHP Eric Segura in the fourth round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 105 overall)
It’s back-to-back arms for the White Sox, winding up Day 1 of the draft by picking Eric Segura, a swingman righty out of Oregon State University with the 105th selection. This is the first lower-reaching pick the White Sox have made on the day — Segura was the 196th-ranked play on MLB’s draft board — […]
White Sox select RHP Joey Volchko in the third round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 77 overall)
At last, the White Sox select a non-middle infielder, adding 21-year-old righthander Joey Volchko to the 2026 draft class. Volchko originally went to Stanford before transferring to Georgia, where he has been a dominant addition to the Bulldogs starting rotation. The righty is currently listed as the 68th-best prospect via MLB’s rankings, making him the […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 11, 2026
Nashville Sounds 4, Charlotte Knights 2The Knights (48-44) put up 14 hits against 10 from the Sounds (53-29), but Charlotte somehow scored just two runs, losing their third game of the series, 4-2. Seriously, it feels like you would have to try not to score if you have that many hits, but as we’ve learned […]
White Sox back to just one run of offense — but that’s enough against pathetic Athletics
Once again, the White Sox offense was almost nonexistent against a decent but unspectacular lefty starter. The key point, though, is the “almost.” The Sox only managed five hits against Gage Jump and two (Sacramento?) relievers and only drew two walks and struck out 11 times, but fortunately one of the walks came before one […]
Game Thread: Athletics (41-53) at White Sox (48-45)
Most of the attention of White Sox fans may be on the draft this afternoon, but there’s also the small matter of playing a game. And it’s even a game that will be followed by a geriatric home run derby. On the field, it will be lefty Bryan Hudson opening for the Sox, a role […]
How to Watch: The 2026 MLB draft
In some past seasons, we’ve written up every pick the White Sox make in the draft with individual stories. This year, we’ll let a constantly-updated Day 2 draft tracker do all the work, but overall we will have individual features on the first five White Sox picks (Nos. 1, 34, 44, 77, 105). An exciting […]
Today in White Sox History: July 11
1927 In a 7-6 win at Comiskey Park over the Boston Red Sox, the White Sox tied an MLB record with eight sacrifice hits. Sacrifice flies came from Bill Barrett and Harry McCurdy, as well as Bibb Falk twice. Sac bunts were successful from Roger Peckinpaugh and Willie Kamm. Aaron Ward contributed both a sacrifice […]
Breaking: White Sox ship out Jacob Gonzalez for 34th pick in the draft, eyeing Landon Thome
When Jacob Gonzalez was removed from his game at Triple-A Charlotte on Friday — in a rather brusque manner, pulled off the field in the middle of a seven-run third inning for the Nashville Sounds — it seemed clear that a trade was in the offing. Two hours later, word came through that the White […]
White Sox get back on track with dominant win over Athletics
With the White Sox coming into this game on a three-game losing streak and the Athletics coming to town, it was crucial to end the first half on a high note. Chicago’s bats had been silent and their pitching had been problematic for quite some time but that was all remedied against the Athletics. In […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 10, 2026
Nashville Sounds 11, Charlotte Knights 9Everything that went wrong with the Knights’ loss to the Sounds can be traced back to Jacob Gonzalez’s exit in the third inning. Despite firing an RBI double off in the first to help give Charlotte a 2-1 boost early, he was pulled during the game, as the Sounds were […]
Game Thread: Athletics (41-52) at White Sox (47-45)
Well it looked like this season’s magical run was made for the storybooks at the end of June. Unfortunately for the White Sox, July has had a mind of its own. After entering the month with a 45-39 record, the South Siders have won just two of their last eight games and are now tied […]
Pyschoanalyzing the White Sox draft room
Chicago’s future will be decided this weekend in a conference room in Philadelphia, at approximately 12 p.m. CT. Although I only partially mean it facetiously, that’s how the front office has seen the first pick of the 2026 MLB draft since the Winter Meetings that revealed its lottery win. For the last seven months, Chicago’s […]
South Side Sox Reacts: A shortstop is in the offing … but which one?
We are just a day a away from learning who the White Sox will make the overall No. 1 pick. But we couldn’t let that happen without tapping the esteemed Reacts voting bloc weigh in. And among the trio of Roch Cholowsky, Grady Emerson and Vahn Lackey there was a clear favorite … position, that […]
White Sox 2026 MLB draft No. 1 pick possibility: Vahn Lackey
The White Sox kick off the 2026 MLB draft by making the No. 1 overall selection at noon CT on Saturday, and will choose among three plum prospects: UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky, Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey and shortstop Grady Emerson from Fort Worth Christian (Texas) H.S. We’re digging deeper into all three players in […]
