The Cubs didn’t generate much offense Friday night in Pittsburgh, just six hits and three walks. They struck out 11 times and left seven runners on base. Thanks to some great defensive work, solid pitching, a Pete Crow-Armstrong homer and a two-run 10th inning, the Cubs opened their road trip with a 3-2 win over […]
The Detroit Red Wings are searching for scoring help, and one of the best wingers still available has become a target. Per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period on the DFO Rundown, the Red Wings have expressed interest in free agent forward Eeli Tolvanen, viewing him as an option to fill a role in their top-six. The interest stems from a clear hole in the lineup. Filling The Kane Void Detroit's need for a top-six winger grew after Patrick Kane departed for the Chicago Blackhawks. Pagnott...
The Chicago Blackhawks icon had a lot of good things to say on Friday.
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 .
Today’s Reflections This group of starting pitchers are earning a middle name of “But One Pitch”. Shota Imanaga avoided getting that tag in his last outing, but Colin Rea didn’t Wednesday. Rea’s pitching line would have been six baserunners over five innings with five strikeouts. He did earlier give up a solo home run, and […]
Caleb Wilson said after his draft selection, “I want to be the greatest of all time.” While some are critical of this statement, franchise legend Derrick Rose is throwing his weight behind the Chicago rookie. D-Rose even answered about relating to the newest Bulls star. “I feel like you have to be delusional in a […] The post Derrick Rose Praises Bulls Rookie Caleb Wilson for Being “Delusional” as NBA Icon Responds to Comparisons appeared first on EssentiallySports .
Patrick Kane is returning to Chicago, signing a two-year deal to go back to the Blackhawks. It’s a nice way for him and the team to presumably put the final chapter on his career and go full circle for a Hall of Fame run. It also made me think of how that was denied for […]
Understanding that the true White Sox prospect list is the yearly offseason South Side Sox Top 100 Prospects, the closest second you’ll find the MLB Pipeline Top 30, which is issued in the offseason and midseason after the draft. MLB’s updated list was issued yesterday (sans 2026 draft picks, who have yet to play a […]
Left-hander Drew Pomeranz has elected free agency. If you want to know why I don’t do Dominican Summer League recaps, among the many reasons is that Cubs Blue lost to Pirates Gold today 21-17. Cubs Blue drew 18 walks and issued 11 of them. Iowa Cubs Rained out. Doubleheader on Saturday in Gwinnett. Knoxville Smokies […]
The Cubs and Pirates began their series at PNC Park on Friday night with an old-fashioned pitcher’s duel. Each team could only produce a single run in the first nine frames, but the road side scratched out a couple in the top of the 10th inning and held on to win. Starting pitchers Matthew Boyd … The post Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (7/24/26): Cubs 3, Pirates 2 F/10 – Swanson Single Leads to Extras W appeared first on .
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 […]
Cheers at Rate Field turned to boos and a stunned crowd of 28,657 could only shake their collective heads in disbelief as the Astros would erase a five-run deficit in defeating the White Sox by a score of 9-5. The night began inauspiciously enough. The White Sox would send all nine men to the plate […]
Through five innings, the White Sox had everything going for them: Davis Martin with a 5-0 lead and a reasonable amount of pitches, and the Astros warming up a fourth pitcher after Spencer Arrighetti left with a foot nerve issue after one ineffective inning. The next time they came to the plate, they somehow trailed by three. The post Astros 9, White Sox 5: Stunned in the sixth appeared first on Sox Machine .
The story for future Hall of Fame forward Patrick Kane has officially come full circle, as he returned to the […]
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...
Veteran reliever Drew Pomeranz is back on the open market after electing free agency, according to the MLB.com transaction tracker. The Cubs designated him for assignment on Monday and sent him through waivers. Pomeranz spent a couple weeks on the MLB roster in his second stint with the Cubs. While he surprisingly provided excellent results as […]

It's been almost a week now since restricted free agent Connor Bedard signed his big contract extension with the Chicago Blackhawks. But after his draft class counterpart Leo Carlsson signed an $18 million AAV offer sheet with the Philadelphia Flyers, only to be matched by the Anaheim Ducks, many around the sport wondered if Bedard could be one of the next then-unsigned young stars to get a huge offer sheet. But the Hawks' star center set the record straight on that during an interview on Frid...

These are tense days ahead for the White Sox as the trade deadline nears; days full of speculation, annoyed denials from team officials, and a lot of conversation about maybe trading for a stopgap starting catcher. "Every year the deadline is a distraction for everybody, whether you are team that is buying or selling, there are implications for every single one of these players," said Will Venable. "Those are the types of conversations we are having; what’s the impact on the clubhouse in tho...
Coming out of the All-Star break neck-and-neck with the Cleveland Guardians, the Chicago White Sox knew they had to hit the ground running. With two road series on deck against the Toronto Blue Jays and the Texas Rangers, winning each respective series was all that mattered and the White Sox did exactly that. Thanks to […]
