The best in White Sox coverage since 2005!
White Sox fans are nothing if not optimistic. Every spring brings a new breakout candidate, every top prospect becomes the next cornerstone, and the most recent hot streak has us dreaming about what could be. Sometimes that hopefulness pays off. Other times, well, we’ve all been there before. So, every fanbase has them — the […]
1901 After two seasons with Boston in the National League and ready to take on a bigger role at catcher, Billy Sullivan joined the exodus of players moving from the Senior Circuit to Junior by signing with the White Sox. Sullivan would play with the White Sox for the rest of his career, spanning 13 […]
Reliever and burgeoning starter Mike Vasil had his 2026 harshly stripped away after suffering arm soreness during a quality spring training start against the Dodgers on March 14. Vasil’s season-ending UCL injury leaves an opening on the 40-man roster, so at least someone will benefit from his ever-so-short-lived sophomore season. Among the currently non-rostered players, […]
Chicago’s (14-11) bats exploded for five runs in the third behind starting pitcher Anthony Kay. The Athletics (12-14) mounted a comeback but ultimately fell short, as the Good Guys carried home the 6-4 victory. The bullpen was a little rocky at times, but lefthander Chris Murphy was able to shut the door on the A’s […]
It feels like just one week ago that I was writing up the previous Spring Training matchup against the A’s because it was! This afternoon, the White Sox are coming off a tough 3-2 loss to the Texas Rangers and will look to wake the bats up and bounce back vs the Athletics. Lefty Anthony […]
Another day, another gut punch for the South Side. These hits? Not the kind we’re hoping for. Righthander Mike Vasil is out for the year. Tommy John is coming up, and with it, another shovel of dirt on a pitching staff already running on fumes. Vasil had been quietly stacking a case as a depth […]

1901 The White Sox (and their American League counterparts), busy raiding National League teams to bolster talent for their first season in the majors, suffered a rare setback by losing their player-manager, second baseman Dick Padden. Padden cut against the trend lines and joined the NL’s St. Louis Cardinals, making him one of a handful […]
A couple of notes ahead of the recap, first — today’s transactions: Brooke Fletcher helped break down today’s moves with insight as to where some players will land to start the season. With very little action in the first, Lenyn Sosa picked up a walk in the second, but the White Sox failed to do […]
The White Sox will face an evenly-matched Rangers team this evening. Sean Burke will be on the mound tonight. Burke has been roughed up during Spring Training, owning an ERA of 6.75, giving up nine hits, six earned runs, two walks and six strikeouts over eight innings pitched. We will also see Korey Lee, who […]
1900 American League president Ban Johnson unveiled a key new city for the junior circuit: Chicago. Charles Comiskey, tight with Johnson to the point of sharing office space with him in Chicago, will move his St. Paul Saints into town to join the AL. Johnson brokers an agreement with the Chicago Orphans (Cubs) both to […]
There is exactly one baseball game truly worth watching today, and it isn’t from Spring Training. If nothing outside of tonight’s drool-worthy WBC semifinal matchup between the United States and the Dominican Republic is of interest to you, I wouldn’t be able to place any fault. Because from afar, there is exactly one thing and […]
St. Patrick’s Day is just about upon us, or at least, the second of two parades is, which is where I hope many of you will be this afternoon instead of listening to a mid-level Spring Training baseball. That’s why I’m here! Anyhow, the end of one of the more successful Spring Trainings (in terms […]
There are all kinds of 2026 baseball season predictions out and about, from those determined by complex computer algorithms, or made by the bookies whose money is on the line, or tossed out by fans of one team or another. However, the one you are about to read has much more expertise applied than any […]
1903 Possibly the weirdest roster snafus in a single season continue, as Harry Gleason (brother of future White Sox manager Kid Gleason) is signed by Chicago — but chooses to report to his former team, the Boston Red Sox (née Americans), instead! The comedy of outlaw-player errors began when George Davis, after having doubled his […]
While it may just be Spring Training, the White Sox can at least say they took one game from the Dodgers this year. The Good Guys took care of business in their 7-2 victory — but it may have come at a heavy price. The Sox bench came through today. Lenyn Sosa and Luisangel Acuña […]
The White Sox have the best chance of beating the Dodgers in the calendar year in today’s last Camelback Ranch duel before the prospect game next week. Seeking their first win against the Dodgers since March 8, 2025, and first Spring Training win against the reigning 2025 World Series Champions, the deck is slightly stacked […]
1901 The White Sox welcomed another player as part of the exodus from the National League, center fielder Fielder Jones. Jones left the Brooklyn Superbas, where he was a solid regular, and blossomed into a star over eight years with the White Sox. Fielder’s 32.0 career WAR makes him the 10th-best hitter in team history, […]
Let’s just call it a technical knockout: The White Sox have reasserted their dominance over the rival Cubs. Friday’s win, their third straight this spring over the ivy bumblers and first at Camelback Ranch, was the most pedestrian of the bunch; in other words, the White Sox clobbered only two homers in this one vs. […]
If the Cubs are going to snap their losing streak against the White Sox, they’re going to have to do it on the road — and on a Friday the 13th on top of that. It’s a battle of Martins today, go figure: Advantage to our Davis, in every way including 2026 Cactus League performance. […]
This week, we asked you, fourth months in advance, whether you would draft UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky No. 1 overall in July. Your answer was yes, overwhelmingly. “A lot” can change over the course of spring baseball, both at the college and high school levels. But Roch sure seems to be a lock about right […]
1934 All-time White Sox playing and managing great Fielder Jones died, at age 62, in Portland. His 32.0 WAR for the club ranks 10th all-time among hitters and places him as the best center fielder in White Sox history. Jones was staggeringly good with the White Sox, never dipping below a 3.1 WAR season and […]
The White Sox and Giants kept the game low-scoring and close all evening, which in turn made it harder for me to keep my eyes open. And all for nothing, as it ended in a tie. Here is the breakdown for a mostly uneventful game: The first run Trevor McDonald has allowed this spring went […]
Happy 312 Day, Sox fans! Prior to tonight’s game, the team shared photos from the Los White Sox mural at Midway Airport, which spans 13,600 square feet. The White Sox look to bounce back after two straight losses in a rare late-night Spring Training matchup. It might be a tough hill to climb, though, as […]
It was all going a little too well, wasn’t it? The sun was shining at Camelback Ranch, the beer was cold enough to forget the 2025 win-loss column, and Munetaka Murakami launched a grand slam in the World Baseball Classic. We were allowed to have nice things for exactly three weeks. Then came the medical […]
