Latest news and updates about the White Sox
In true Chris Getz fashion, the White Sox are once again in a position that warrants more questions than answers. On a cold and random late January night, the Sox dealt Luis Robert Jr. to the Mets for prospects Luisangel Acuña and Truman Pauley. This trade is anything but straightforward, so let’s dive into it. […]
1960 The White Sox introduced the first Major League Baseball jersey that had a player’s name on the back. It was the brainchild of owner Bill Veeck. At first the name was only on the road jersey, but starting in 1961 names were also on the backs of the home jerseys. The White Sox then removed the […]
The Chicago White Sox officially kicked off the 2026 international signing period last week by announcing a deep class of 18 prospects, spending a significant portion of the $6,679,200 international bonus pool that was allocated to the club this year. Spread across position players and pitching prospects, Chicago’s international class tilts slightly toward the mound […]
According to Francys Romero , the Chicago Cubs are signing another reclamation pitcher, bringing in righty Yacksel Rios on a minor league deal. The 32-year-old reliever spent parts of the 2017-21, and 2023 seasons in the big leagues, pitching for the Phillies, Pirates, Mariners, Red Sox, and A’s, flashing big stuff without much in the way of results (6.32 career ERA, 5.61 career FIP, but only 98.1 big league innings). Yacksel Rios has also been in the Rays, White Sox, and Braves’ systems,...
With spring training on the horizon, David Stearns continues to round out the Mets’ lineup for the 2026 season. Last night, the team acquired Luis Robert Jr. from the White Sox in exchange for infielder Luisangel Acuña and RHP prospect Truman Pauley. The Mets had been linked to Robert for quite some time, and the […]
Not a long one here, but while y’all were celebrating Andruw Jones’ election to the Hall of Fame, the Mets traded for Luis Robert Jr. That completed a years-long flirtation between the White Sox and literally anyone even remotely interested in Robert’s services. In the end, though, all the White Sox got were Luisangel Acuña […]
MLB Trade Rumors: The New York Mets are acquiring outfielder Luis Robert, Jr. from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for infielder Luisangel Acuna and pitcher Truman Pauley, per multiple reports. The White Sox have been looking to move the 28 year old Robert for some time. He appeared to be a burgeoning star after […]
1953 Somewhat astoundingly, Joe DiMaggio was not elected to the Hall of Fame on his first ballot, finishing eighth. However, by the skin of his teeth (one vote), ex-White Sox outfielder Al Simmons achieved immortality, along with Dizzy Dean. With 51.3 WAR at the time of his 1933 trade to Chicago from Philadelphia, Simmons was […]
With just a few weeks before pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training, the MLB stove has been heating up as teams work to fill their roster gaps and prepare for the 2026 season. That includes Chicago White Sox GM Chris Getz, who traded center fielder Luis Robert Jr. to the New York Mets, leading […]
The Mets, continuing their roster overhaul after their disastrous 2025, agreed to a trade with the White Sox for center fielder Luis Robert Jr on Tuesday night. The Mets are sending two young players to the South Side of Chicago in return, one we have seen a lot of in Luisangel Acuña, and one that […]
There was a time, maybe three years ago, when this would have been seriously gigantic news. Back in 2023, Luis Robert Jr. hit 38 HRs en route to a 4.9 WAR season as a 25-year-old center fielder, just a few successful seasons into a six-year, $50M deal with the White Sox. A budding star in Chicago for a team with slowly decaying, but still lofty hopes. But things have fallen sufficiently far the last two years for both the White Sox and Luis Robert Jr. (just 210 games combined, 84 wRC+, 1.3 WAR...
1910 The first 10-year White Sox player, Frank Isbell, retired to manage the Wichita Jobbers of the Western Association, a position he long coveted. In fact, Isbell had been petitioning Charles Comiskey since late in the 1907 season to retire, after teammate Patsy Dougherty accidentally spiked Isbell in the hand and severely injured him. Comiskey, […]

1882 Infamous Black Sox ringleader Chick Gandil was born in St. Paul. The first baseman started his career with the White Sox in 1910, and played his last game, as he helped throw the 1919 World Series. In-between, he played in Washington and Cleveland, putting up four stellar years for the Senators from 1912-15. He […]
White Sox legend and chronically-underrated starting pitcher in the 1970s, Wilbur Wood, died on Saturday at age 84. The 17-year veteran came into his own after arriving on the South Side in 1966, first as a bullpen specialist and later as a throwback innings-eater. In the process, he was named to three All-Star Games and […]
After a massive leap from the bottom of the poll to a tie for runner-up, it seemed like either catcher Landon Hodge or righthander Reudis Diaz was poised to win the next Vote. Indeed, on his 21st ballot, Hodge prevailed, with 12 of 62 (19%) votes: Hodge’s win was not decisive, however, as his 19.35% […]
1930 No, you’re right, you wouldn’t think you’d have to make it clear that major leaguers shouldn’t box in the offseason. But because of the brawling (inside and out of the ring) of White Sox first baseman Art Shires, commissioner Kenesaw Landis banned any player from boxing. Shires had issued a challenge to Cubs star […]
1949 The White Sox purchased starter Bill Bevens from the Yankees. The righthander battled control issues throughout his career, but had managed to ascend from journeyman to star with a brilliant 1946 season in the Bronx: 16-13, 2.23 ERA/3.14 FIP, 154 ERA+ and 5.0 WAR over 249 2/3 innings. But after a poor 1947 season […]
After a brief detour in the Chicago White Sox organization, infielder Benjamin Cowles is back in the Chicago Cubs organization. The Cubs claimed the 25-year-old off of waivers, and their 40-man roster is now a full 40. Any additional moves on that front will require maneuvering. Cowles, together with reliever Jack Neely, was the return in the Mark Leiter Jr. trade at the deadline in 2024. He struggled upon arriving at Triple-A in 2025, and was ultimately bumped off the 40-man roster in Se...
1913 The White Sox bought Davy Jones from the Detroit Tigers. Jones played in just 12 games, earning 0.2 WAR, for the 1913 White Sox and would jump to the Pittsburgh Rebels of the Federal League in 1914. 1966 Future White Sox ace Jack McDowell was born in Van Nuys, Calif. A former Team USA […]
This is a transaction you did not expect to read about. The Cubs have made a waiver claim on infielder Ben Cowles. This transaction fills the 40-man roster, for now. Cowles came to the Cubs, along with Jack Neely, in the Mark Leiter Jr. trade July 30, 2024. Neely pitched in six games for the […]
The son of Brian Morabito, who played baseball for James Madison University when he attended the school in the late-80s and early-90s, and the nephew of John Morabito, who played baseball at Wake Forest University and was drafted by the Chicago White Sox in 1987, playing professionally for a year, Nick Morabito took to baseball […]

1927 Perhaps believing he had no gas left in tank after two straight poor seasons, the White Sox swapped starting pitcher Hollis “Sloppy” Thurston along with reliever Leo Magnum to the Washington Senators for Roger Peckinpaugh. Peckinpaugh was just two years removed from his AL MVP season, but, at nearly 36 years old, was at […]
Last year, White Sox position player rookies surpassed expectations beyond belief. Kyle Teel and Edgar Quero quickly grew into one of most dynamic catching platoons in the league and Colson Montgomery had an explosive debut month. Now, it’s Miguel Vargas’ turn. While it wasn’t quite the breakout season Sox fans would’ve wanted, Vargas rebounded from […]
