Game Thread: White Sox (59-54) at Red Sox (62-51)

As someone who has been to Boston and Fenway, I can say both are lovely. When I was there, the White Sox won, so I was able to leave happy. Unfortunately, this series has me so excited about the White Sox getting the hell out of there because it’s been nothing short of a disaster. […]

Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong walks off Blue Jays with savvy baserunning play

Great Start From Dylan Cease, But Jays Lose

Blue Jays 2 Cubs 3 (11 innings) Two outs in the ninth and two strikes, I figured it was time to open the computer and get on the recap. Boom. Alex Bregman homers to tie the game. It was hardly fair to Dylan Cease who threw seven innings of two hit ball with one walk […]

First pitch: White Sox at Red Sox

Everson Pereira was claimed off waivers by the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, after he was designated for assignment earlier this week to make room for Brenton Doyle on the active roster. Pereira was designated for assignment after hitting .225/.284/.438, but in only 27 games as he's been slowed by a litany of injuries. It's good thematic timing that Pereira gets claimed right as the White Sox face a left-handed starting pitcher in Ranger Suarez, laying bare the path they chose instead. ...

Cardinals Claim Everson Pereira

The Cardinals announced that they have claimed outfielder Everson Pereira off waivers from the White Sox. Chicago designated him for assignment on deadline day when they picked up Joey Bart from Atlanta.

The Royals continue to search for pitching, claiming young left-hander Luke Little off waivers from the Cubs today.

The Chicago Cubs and Toronto Blue Jays are playing a make-up game from June 21. When the teams were originally set to meet, Cubs pitcher David Peterson was still a member of the New York Mets.
