Latest blog entries from Chicago teams across every league
1901 A 7-0 win over Detroit made it three straight shutouts for the White Sox. The Tigers were the victims of all three whitewashes: Clark Griffith’s 2-0 win on July 31, Nixey Callahan’s 4-0 one-hitter (the first in Sox history) on August 1, and Roy Patterson’s 7-0 two-hitter to end the run. Both of Patterson’s […]
One 0-for-4 is not an indictment. Three strikeouts in a 5-2 loss to the Cubs are not a referendum either. […]
Caleb Williams continues to generate buzz at Chicago Bears training camp. One of his biggest endorsements has come from a teammate who knows exactly what the franchise’s quarterback carousel has looked like. Veteran cornerback Jaylon Johnson has faced a host of Bears signal-callers since entering the league in 2020. He believes Williams has elevated Chicago’s […] The post Bears’ Jaylon Johnson’s Caleb Williams hype comes with Nick Foles name drop appeared first on ClutchPoints .
It’s been a long time since the White Sox approached the trade deadline as a buyer, and thus it’s been a long time since they made a trade they needed to get right, and right away at that. When’s the last time there was such pressure on a deal? 2022 was the last time they… The post With Luis Castillo, the White Sox return to buying, but not on the surest of bets appeared first on Sox Machine .
The Chicago Blackhawks are stuck between doing what's best for the franchise and sending off their superstars from their glory days the right way. Should the Blackhawks sign Jonathan Toews to a one-year deal or give him the Marc-Andre Fleury treatment?
The Chicago Bears have often been pointed to as a potential seller when it comes to Cole Kmet and whether or not the tight end could be on the move over the
The stove is hot (derogatory). Randy Arozarena and the Mariners scraped across a walk-off win against the Twins yesterday to even the series at a game apiece. The Mariners followed up this rather underwhelming victory by trading Luis Castillo to the White Sox. The move doesn’t necessarily signal a buy or sell leaning for the […]
The Cubs and Yankees played the second game of their series at Wrigley Field Saturday night. Both sides got excellent efforts from their starting pitchers but it was the home squad that came out ahead in the battle of bullpens that followed. Chicago took the lead in the bottom of the 1st without the benefit … The post Chicago Cubs Score and Recap (8/1/26): Cubs 5, Yankees 2 – Peterson, Hoerner Lead Way appeared first on .

If you’ve ever wondered what it might feel like if the Cubs and Yankees ever meet in the World Series in this century, Saturday night at Wrigley Field gave at least a hint. Between the cool, cloudy, breezy weather that made it feel almost like October, the large contingent of Yankees fans, the national TV […]
The young Chicago Blackhawks forward was one of many who welcomed a big soccer star to the Windy City.
A little more than six years after they gave him the highest bonus of any second-round pick, the White Sox released Jarred Kelley. Kelley, the 47th pick back in 2020, received $3 million from the Sox as part of a top-heavy strategy for the five-round draft, but the hard-throwing righty never found professional traction, as… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 1, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
Today’s Reflections Shōta Imanaga pitched more than just “well enough” for the Cubs to have won Friday’s game with the Yankees. Yes, he’s back to the home-run ball. Luckily, they were two solo shots. Despite that, I would take two runs over 6.2 IP each and every day. Bad luck for him. And welcome Antoine […]

As the 2026 MLB trade deadline rapidly approaches, with the biggest fish in the proverbial pond, Tarik Skubal, having already been shipped from the Detroit Tigers to the Los Angeles Dodgers, one player who won’t be looking for a new team is Chicago Cubs All-Star Pete Crow-Armstrong.

On Saturday evening, Jeff Passan broke the news that the White Sox (58-52) have acquired starting pitcher Luis Castillo from the Mariners (54-58).

The Mariners announced tonight they have traded Castillo to the White Sox in exchange for reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith. Per Daniel Kramer, the Mariners aren’t sending any money to offset the remainder of what Castillo […]
No loss is a good one, but this one is annoying because the things the team is normally good at, they weren’t so good at. We accept the Yankees’ lineup is going to struggle to score, but we expect the bullpen to get the outs after a big night from the starter. Two of those […]
Although the Bulls view Bennedict Mathurin as a talented player worth a potential flyer, their interest in the Clippers‘ restricted free agent swingman has been “overstated,” a league source tells Joel Lorenzi of The Athletic.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — The White Sox have longed for controllable starting pitching for weeks now, and have also recently signaled their reticence to mortgage their bright future for short-term interests.
