South Side Sox Reacts: How’d Getz do at the deadline?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Sox fans and fans across the country. This week, we have a pretty predictable question for you, one that’s already been tackled by one writer on site, as well as in our post-deadline podcast: […]
July 2026 White Sox check-up: This team is thriving
July showed that the White Sox can handle pressure without breaking. Although a 13-12 record jeopardized their standing as the AL Central’s leader, the Sox came out of one of the most testing months with one series sweep, three series wins, and two ties against a much more competitive AL East and a few opponents […]
Today in White Sox History: August 4
1911 Here’s a weird record and distinction for you: Lee Tannehill not only is the only shortstop in baseball history to record two unassisted double plays in the same season — he got both in the same game! The milestone came in a doubleheader opener, an extra-inning, 1-0 loss to Walter Johnson and the Washington […]
MLB trade deadline: Give Getz, White Sox a C+
Most of us feared the worst when it came to a first Chris Getz trade deadline as a buyer, but even nonbelievers in the GM can agree that his work this August helped the White Sox more than it hurt. But now, let’s dig down into the three major moves the White Sox made to […]

Hello, and welcome to the 2026 White Sox MLB trade deadline tracker! Below, you’ll find every trade and acquisition the White Sox made over the past two weeks, anticipating the near-freeze of transactions after August 3. Where applicable, there are links to our trade deadline stories, which pack more detail. A reminder, the trade deadline […]
White Sox add defensive whiz Brenton Doyle, but why?
Two-time Gold Glove winner Brenton Doyle is heading to the Chicago White Sox from Colorado, as GM Chris Getz has entered his “defensive replacement” phase of team-building. The cost is not nothing, as preseason No. 10 South Side Sox prospect Mason Adams is the headliner shipped out west to the Rockies. Carlos Vielma, a 16-year-old […]
Breaking: Huascar Brazobán joins White Sox pen for minor-leaguers Gabe Davis and Zach Franklin
The White Sox made an timely bullpen addition, despite the news breaking at quite the unusual hour. Well after midnight ET, Yancen Pujols reported that New York Mets reliever Husascar Brozobán was heading to the White Sox, and minutes later Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic dropped the White Sox return to the Mets: Double-A starter […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 2, 2026
Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 3The Knights (58-50) and Sounds spent most of the night shadowboxing, but it was Nashville who finally landed the knockout punch. José Urquidy kept things quiet until the third, when the Sounds eked out a run. Charlotte’s bats, comatose until the fifth, finally woke up with a Ryan Galanie triple […]

White Sox claim series in Tampa with career day for Anthony Kay
Anthony Kay dealt, the White Sox offense punished Tampa Bay pitching mistakes, and Chicago felt control of this game virtually from start to finish, culminating in a 9-1 victory for the South Siders that keeps them three games ahead of the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central entering the post-deadline stretch. It was a career […]
The biggest White Sox needs ahead of Monday’s trade deadline
Special Note: This article was written on the afternoon of August 1, hours before the White Sox received Luis Castillo in exchange for Seranthony Domínguez, Nolan Jones and Boston Smith. The White Sox clearly feel like they can turn around Castillo’s decline. I don’t see him as a meaningful upgrade over Erick Fedde and Anthony […]
Today in White Sox History: August 2
1901 A 7-0 win over Detroit made it three straight shutouts for the White Sox. The Tigers were the victims of all three whitewashes: Clark Griffith’s 2-0 win on July 31, Nixey Callahan’s 4-0 one-hitter (the first in Sox history) on August 1, and Roy Patterson’s 7-0 two-hitter to end the run. Both of Patterson’s […]
Breaking: White Sox acquire Luis Castillo in deadline deal
On Saturday evening, Jeff Passan broke the news that the White Sox (58-52) have acquired starting pitcher Luis Castillo from the Mariners (54-58). In exchange, Seattle received reliever Seranthony Domínguez, Triple-A outfielder Nolan Jones and Double-A catcher Boston Smith. Castillo, 33, is set to join the starting rotation on the South Side. In 2026, Castillo […]
White Sox Minor League Update: August 1, 2026
Nashville Sounds 6, Charlotte Knights 3Lefthander Tyler Gilbert allowed five runs in the bottom of the first, and the Knights (58-49) couldn’t dig themselves out of the hole, falling to the Sounds (58-49), 6-3. Gilbert loaded the bases up after four batters and things snowballed from there. The bats chipped away and drove in two […]
Pitching great, offense can’t create, White Sox shut out by Rays
For the second game in a row, White Sox pitchers held the more-or-less-league-average offense of the Rays to one run, but this time the hitters forgot to send missiles out of the park. Or, much of any in the park. Still despite being shut out, there were some good things to grow on. Using an […]
Game Thread: White Sox (58-51) at Rays (64-45)
Wow! First place in the Al Central by three games entering August, three straight wins over the top teams in the league, talk of adding at the deadline instead of the usual subtracting! Why, it’s enough to make a nonagenarian who hates fans and players happy, even if only because it means a whole lot […]
South Side Sox Reacts: Faith in a first-place team
The White Sox have held at least a share of first place since July 4, and a total of 49 days total this season. And yet with a ridiculously light schedule for the second-place Cleveland Guardians (three games back, playing .500 ball), it’s no guarantee the South Siders will be able to hold on to […]
Out of the cornfield, and into the playoff hunt
Someone call Homer or Christopher Nolan, because I have been on one hell of an Odyssey! OK, with that bit of topical humor out of the way, allow me to re-re-reintroduce myself. My name is Leonard Gore, Lenny to my friends and colleagues here at South Side Sox, and @Leonard42 on the Bird App (oh! […]
Today in White Sox History: August 1
1901 In a 4-0 masterpiece hosting Detroit, Nixey Callahan tossed the first one-hitter in White Sox history. Only his Tigers counterpart, Joe Yeager, had a safety. Callahan himself had two hits in his win, while the White Sox also tapped out three triples and left fielder Herm McFarland went 3-for-4 with three singles. 1925 Ted […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 31, 2026
Nashville Sounds 4, Charlotte Knights 2A snoozing offense proved to be Charlotte’s downfall. There were lots of zeroes to start the game. Through the fifth inning, the Knights had zero hits and were 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position. Although the lineup managed to limit its strikeouts to five, there was so much to be […]
Chisox bombs take sting out of the Rays in 6-1 rout
Nick Martinez is in line to be one of the finalists for the AL Cy Young award this season. So far this year, he’s done a great job at limiting hard hits and walks, making him a tough pitcher to attack. But that was before the White Sox made Friday night look like a Home […]
Game Thread: White Sox (57-51) at Rays (64-44)
After getting out of the gates after the All-Star break with a strong road trip that saw four wins in six games, the White Sox started to falter. Losing four of five to the Houston Astros and New York Yankees, it looked as if the South Siders were starting to wilt under the pressure. Out […]
Today in White Sox History: July 31
1909 “Sleepy” Bill Burns fired a two-hitter in a doubleheader opener, defeating Walter Johnson in Washington, 1-0. The White Sox also knocked off the Senators in the nightcap behind a complete game from Frank Smith, 4-0, holding Washington to seven hits on the entire day. If that name sounds familiar, it’s because Burns would become one of […]
Flashback: The S3by Game
Some South Side Sox readers are aware that I am fond of catcher Seby Zavala. We have reached the five-year anniversary of Zavala’s three-homer game, so I feel the need to revisit that incredible feat, which was the most out-of-the-blue performance I have ever seen. It was July 31, 2021, and entering that day, the […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 30, 2026
Charlotte Knights 6, Nashville Sounds 4The Knights (58-47) stumbled out of the gate but worked their way back, and the headline is all about catcher Eric Haase. The new guy wasted no time. With the bases loaded in the first inning, he smashed a three-run double. Welcome to Charlotte, and maybe soon, Chicago. Haase, the […]
