Sporcle Saturday: Catchers with 10+ home runs

Good morning! With the unfortunate news of Kyle Teel's injury, the White Sox also lost perhaps their best shot at a catcher providing ten home runs for them on the season. No doubt this was front of mind for many of you when the news broke. As we sit entering Friday's slate of games, though, Drew Romo has five dingers and Edgar Quero has just two. Teel in 78 games last season socked eight home runs, so he really did seem up to the task of getting to double digits. Alas. The post Sporcle Sa...

White Sox Minor Keys: July 24, 2026

MLB Pipeline released new top-30 lists for each organization, but the rollout is a little strange, at least on the White Sox’s side. The big hangup is that it doesn’t yet include draft picks because the signing deadline is Monday, so it seems like they could’ve just waited until Monday. Instead, Caleb Bonemer gets a… The post White Sox Minor Keys: July 24, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .

Sixth inning of horror dooms White Sox

While a regulation MLB game is nine innings, it can take just one inning to change the entire landscape of a game. Unfortunately for the White Sox, they were on the bad end of an inning that was more horrifying than the recent Backrooms movie. It was an odd game that had the good vibes […]

Astros 9, White Sox 5: Stunned in the sixth

MLB Trade Rumors: Proposed Deal Sends Kevin Gausman to Chicago Cubs

Kevin Gausman's days as a Toronto Blue Jay might be coming to a close. He doesn't want to admit it, but heading into free agency after the season, it only makes sense for the Jays, who are sellers at this trade deadline, to get some prospect capital back for one of the game's top pitchers of this decade. There are a number of teams who could use a starter of his caliber down the stretch, particularly one with the type of playoff experience he has. One of those teams, the Chicago Cubs, has been...
