Game Thread: Dodgers (14-6) at White Sox (12-9-1)

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 […]

Both Camelback Ranch co-tenants face off on Saturday afternoon, with the Dodgers as the road team against the White Sox. Non-roster invitee Zyhir Hope, a consensus top-100 prospect, leads the Dodgers with 19 games played this spring, missing only one day thus far. On Saturday, he makes his first start this spring, in left field. […]

Today in White Sox History: March 14

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, […]

Colts reportedly add Bears free agent safety and special teamer

According to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo, the Indianapolis Colts have signed Chicago Bears free agent safety and key special teamer Jonathan Owens to bolster their depleted positional depth: Originally signed as an undrafted free agent of the Arizona Cardinals in 2018, the 5,‘11”, 204 pound safety has played for the Houston Texans, Green Bay Packers, […]

Schefter: The Bears are broke (and what does that mean)

Chicago Bears fans have been excited about the players the Bears have added to the roster thus far in free agency. And, for the most part, they should be. Most of these players are either better fits or upgrades from those who manned that spot a year ago. But the one thing the Bears haven’t […]

Crosstown dominance: White Sox beat Cubs, again, 4-2

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. […]

White Sox 4, Cubs 2: Another day in the desert

The Cubs didn’t send too many regulars to Glendale to face the White Sox — Michael Busch, Miguel Amaya (back from the WBC) and Moisés Ballesteros were the only ones among 40-man roster players, and Michael Conforto and Chas McCormick among the non-roster guys trying to make the team. Plus, it was basically a bullpen […]

Back on February 26, the Dodgers beat the White Sox 7-6 in their first meeting this spring. These two teams will meet during the regular […]

Game Thread: Cubs (9-10) at White Sox (11-9-1)

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. […]

South Side Sox Reacts: We want Roch Cholowsky

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 […]

2026 Chicago Cubs player profiles: Jordan Wicks

Jordan Wicks has been a bit of an enigma for the Cubs. When he first came up, he was an effective lefty starter, but those results haven’t been consistent, and he keeps getting hurt. He’s starting this season on the IL, along with Porter Hodge, who didn’t look good. Neither injury is said to be […]
