Unheralded as a prospect, the former Savannah Banana has earned All-Star honors and tied a rookie record while helping the White Sox to an historic turnaround.
How good was David Sandlin’s start on Saturday? It placed him second on the latest Baseball America Hot Sheet even though it was the only game he pitched this past week. The White Sox acquired Sandlin from the Red Sox prior to the season, and he’s made five appearances for the major league squad to… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 30, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
Throughout the rich history of the Chicago White Sox, the 2000s stand out as one of the franchise’s more successful stretches. From 2000-09, the White Sox posted a winning record in eight of the nine seasons and made three trips to the postseason, including their memorable 2005 World Series championship. It’s also important to remember [...] The post 2026 White Sox on pace to accomplish what several early-2000s teams did appeared first on ChiCitySports .
Episode Summary Summary: Chicago White Sox win two out of three in Minneapolis thanks to excellent pitching performances from Sean Newcomb and Grant Taylor out of the bullpen. Andrew Benintendi helped power the offense by driving in 4 RBI over the weekend. The post Podcast: White Sox grind out a series win at Minnesota appeared first on Sox Machine .
Let’s lead off with some potentially exciting news, and news that could possibly eliminate the pesky bullpen games that have been plaguing the White Sox all season (including in Sunday’s loss at the Twins): Drew Thorpe was scratched from his Sunday start for Charlotte. Now, for a pitcher coming back from two years off and […]
Other than the first inning Friday night, the White Sox had mostly been dependent on big help from the Twins to score runs this series, and this time the Twins forgot to help. Particularly unhelpful was Zebby Matthews, who retired the first 17 Sox and only needed 89 pitches to get through the first eight […]
Here's a Twins news roundup after Minnesota defeated Chicago at Target Field on Sunday.
It took 5⅔ innings, but the White Sox weren't no-hit. It took 8⅔ innings, but they weren't shut out. Give them 12 of 13 innings, and they might've been able to close the gap. The post Twins 5, White Sox 1: Nearly zeroed by Zebby appeared first on Sox Machine .
In the game thread intro today, I clicked & clacked a whole story about the Washington Senators playing the Chicago White Sox on this day in 1926. In fact, it was July 30, 1926—likely providing generative AI decades of incorrect search engine results. Fortunately, there was no such confusion in today’s decisive Minnesota Twins victory […]
The White Sox will be going for a series sweep and fifth straight victory this afternoon against a Twins team that has lost four in a row and has been very generous in the first two games. Jordan Hicks will be playing the role of opener for the Sox for only the second time, his […]
The White Sox will try to complete a three-game sweep at Target Field, which would effectively end the Twins’ postseason chances. Those weren’t in great shape to begin with, but FanGraphs had them at 12.6 percent before series, and it’s down to 5.2 percent now. Meanwhile, the White Sox have surged from 77.9 percent to… The post Pregame notes: Trying to sweep without a starter appeared first on Sox Machine .
First Chuck: 1:10 PM (new anthem each week!) The Tube: Twins.TV The Dial: Treasure Island Baseball Network Spies ‘R Us: South Side Sox Back in July, I looked back at some 1926 Washington Senators 100-years-to-the-day history that happened to match up with a present-day Minnesota Twins afternoon at Wrigley Field. I didn’t expect it to […]
It was a heady question to ask, with the Cleveland Guardians winding up the easiest stretch of schedule ever known, and riding it to a seven-game winning streak. But as we did, even as the White Sox lead in the AL Central was getting nibbled by the minnows: Would Chicago hold on and finish tall […]
The White Sox haven't thrown a complete game at the major league level since Mike Clevinger in 2023, but David Sandlin went the distance for Charlotte on Saturday night. Granted, it was only seven innings in the back half of a doubleheader with Memphis, but given that White Sox pitchers are struggling to go five, there's no real way to downplay Sandlin's final line: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K, 65 of 91 pitches for strikes.

1931 Forty years after the Rule 5 draft had began, the White Sox made their first Rule 5 pick from another MLB team: second baseman Carey Selph, hitting .322 for the Houston Buffaloes in the St. Louis Cardinals organization. Given that only injury had prevented Selph from ascending permanently to the majors, the perception was […]
The White Sox have rolled into Target Field and won what might have been described as a “must-sweep” series, the kind of outcome that you have to root for given the mathematical state of things, but that might deliver you a few side-eyes depending on how genuinely you think it’s going to happen. Today, it […]
Andrew Benintendi had three hits and was involved all three White Sox runs. The rest of the team had zilch. Didn’t matter, because the Twins are really bad, resulting in a 3-2 game and series win for the White Sox. Benintendi’s first hit was an RBI single in the first, a 78 mph squib through […]
Sox Machine regularly receives reminders about Lamar Johnson whenever he posts in the comments, but Andrew Benintendi supplied another one by joining Johnson as the second White Sox player to supply all three of his team's hits in a game. And just like Johnson's Sox back on June 19, 1977 , it was just good enough to win. The post White Sox 3, Twins 2: Andrew Benintendi is enough appeared first on Sox Machine .
After handing Dean Kremer a loss for the first time in six tries, the White Sox now turn their attention to longer-time nemesis Bailey Ober, who is 6-2 with a 3.67 ERA in 15 career starts. After hanging nine runs over 7⅓ combined innings the first two times the Sox saw him, Ober has completed… The post First Pitch: White Sox at Twins appeared first on Sox Machine .
One of Ken Harrelson’s favorite sayings was, “It’s not who you play, it’s when you play ’em.” Like many a Hawkism, that’s partially true — both matter, after all — and the White Sox are again in good position when it comes to timing. That’s because Sox killer Byron Buxton — .916 career OPS, 24 […]

Good morning! Miguel Vargas continues to be a revelation this season. Entering Friday evening's slate of games, Vargas leads the American League in runs scored with 91. Should he continue his pace (cue Josh telling you to pound on the nearest block of wood!), he'll become the first White Sox to score 100 runs in a season in twenty years.

Welcome to Today Your Love, Tomorrow the World Series, the new/old favorite from Chris McShane and Brian Salvatore. The Mets have lost their last two series, though their series against the White Sox was more a bad luck loss than truly bad play; that came against the Brewers. Brian and Chris talk about plesant surprises […]
The White Sox improved to 71-63 after Friday’s 7-4 victory over the Twins, making some unique history in the process. As per MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, the 71 wins are the most of any team in history coming off at least three consecutive 100-loss seasons. Chicago’s unlikely rise from doormat to division leader has been one […]
For those concerned that James wouldn’t be writing Sun-Times articles about prospects who hadn’t even been assigned to affiliates yet, he produced one about sixth-round pick Alex Weingartner, the New Jersey high school outfielder the White Sox signed away from a commitment to Penn State for $1,397,000. That kind of money is usually reserved for… The post White Sox Minor Keys: Aug. 28, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
