Latest news and updates about the White Sox
Rochester Red Wings 6, Charlotte Knights 2After pummeling Rochester a couple of nights ago, Charlotte decided it was only fair that the Red Wings get a couple of jabs in, too. Nolan Jones carried the team, producing both of Charlotte’s runs. He started with an RBI double plated in the fifth, and followed up with […]
Whatever number of fans that showed up to Rate Field specifically for the postgame concert by Marshmello were treated to a surprise in-game show featuring Mitch Spence None The Richer. Even though the Royals opened this game with a righty in Steven Cruz, the White Sox stacked left-handed hitters in the middle of the order in anticipation of the right-handed Mitch Spence coming in next.

It is the end of the sixth inning; the White Sox are leading 17-1. The Royals scored their only run on a double play groundball after David Sandlin walked the bases loaded following a 10-run bottom of the third inning. This comes one night after the Royals were almost no-hit in Tampa Bay and lost […]
A weird and wacky season has continued for the Chicago White Sox, and only time will tell how this upcoming series with the lowly Kansas City Royals will play out. On the surface, the South Siders should be able to roll over Kansas City and at least take the series. With that being said, this […]
Normally, I like to get the game preview started relatively early. Usually, we know the pitching matchups well ahead of time, and I can start at least writing about the pitchers and get most of the preview done. Then I can add the lineups and a couple of sentences about those closer to game time. […]
David Sandlin has been called up (Joe Rock was optioned) to start for the White Sox Friday night at the open of a three-game set against the Royals. A productive Triple-A arm (1.57 ERA in 23 innings with Charlotte) with major league experience is a nice, traditional solution to a hole in the major league rotation. But Sandlin was sent down after his previous three-start audition for pretty inarguable performance struggles (8.10 ERA), and being lined up against Noah Schultz having a third reh...
After years of miserable seasons, the White Sox are seeing the fruits of their rebuild and are sitting in first place with a lineup almost entirely filled with players yet to reach their 27th birthday. As the Royals sit in last place, it is tempting to think they should follow suit with a full deconstruction […]
Aside from being credited as an unspoken driving force of the turnaround on the South Side, Pope Leo XIV’s White Sox fandom had taken a back seat to weightier matters like speaking out against the war in Iran. But the pope’s baseball interests came to the fore once again when A.J. Pierzynski was afforded an… The post Spare Parts: A.J. Pierzynski meets the pope appeared first on Sox Machine .
By now, it seems everyone has jumped on the White Sox hype train but me. It’s not easy being alone on my island as an overly cautious person who is hesitant to believe the Sox have truly blossomed into the AL Central leader. While I’ve gone out of my way to buy tickets to their […]
The White Sox have a lot of shortstops in their system, and they could add another if they draft Roch Cholowsky or Grady Emerson with the first overall pick next month. As they seek to distribute those infielders around the diamond to create upward mobility at various levels, Caleb Bonemer is probably the first place to start.

1916 In a game in Cleveland, the White Sox became the first team to ever have names sewn on to the backs of the uniforms. Knowing who was playing didn’t help them, though; they were shut out, 2-0, on the afternoon. (The White Sox returned to the idea of names on the back of road […]
Charlotte Knights 7, Rochester Red Wings 6 (11 innings)Jonathan Cannon had a rough four-inning start that included three unearned runs of the six scored, but the Knights (44-34) were able to claw back and walk off the Red Wings (46-30) in extras, 7-6. Cannon made his 10th start and ended up allowing eight hits, and […]
Since our son, Will, is about to wrap up his time in Chicago doing the much-acclaimed (parental brag) An Enemy of the People at TimeLine Theatre, he and my wife chipped in on a Father’s Day present of tickets to Monday night’s game at The Rate, a minor violation of our pledge to never put […]
The Chicago White Sox could've folded after a sweep in Detroit, but came back off the mat.
Now sitting in first place in the AL Central, it almost seems like there has been divine intervention on the South Side to help the Chicago White Sox to what has been an incredible turnaround. At the very least, it doesn’t hurt the White Sox that Pope Leo XIV is a fan.A former Chicago White […] The post White Sox Legend A.J.

Former Chicago White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski had a cool moment with the most recognizable fan of his old franchise.
The Chicago White Sox received a memorable tribute to franchise history Thursday when former catcher AJ Pierzynski presented Pope Leo XIV with a treasured piece of the club’s 2005 World Series championship. Pope Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost, became the first American-born pope in May 2025. Raised on Chicago’s South Side, he has […] The post Former White Sox catcher Aj Pierzynski gives Pope Leo XIV epic 2005 World Series gift appeared first on ClutchPoints .
The Royals received encouraging news on Bobby Witt Jr.'s knee injury, with the All-Star shortstop potentially returning Friday against the White Sox. The post Royals Receive Encouraging Bobby Witt Jr. Return Update Before White Sox Series appeared first on HEAVY .
The White Sox's approach to in-game strategy, an endless wave of pinch-hitters, openers and defensive substitutions that regularly empties Will Venable's bench before the ninth inning, requires some sort of snappy summary to better explain the overriding concept. "If we see five dollars on the ground, we pick it up," said bench coach Walker McKinven. "That's kind of the thought process." The post ‘We’ve committed to this idea of doing whatever it takes’: A breakdown of Will Venable’s in-ga...
The question you were supposed to get a week ago still held pertinent this week, so we asked readers where they would improve the White Sox at the trade deadline, given that by all accounts GM Chris Getz should be a buyer for the very first time. And one thing’s for sure, we won’t be […]
Could the Chicago White Sox target top 2026 MLB Draft prospect and UCLA Bruins shortstop Roch Cholowsky solely for financial reasons?
The last Farm Fortnight served as something of a first-half overview, the main theme of which was that the White Sox farm system had largely done a good job of supplying the major league roster with reinforcements, which is the main point of one. That said, I was still surprised to see Baseball America say… The post White Sox Minor Keys: June 24, 2026 appeared first on Sox Machine .
1903 It was a tale of two games. The first nine innings, played to a tie, was full of hitting and sloppy fielding (12 errors, six per team). The second nine, also played to a tie, featured a pitcher’s duel that ended in the dark. The White Sox and Highlanders (Yankees) played the longest game […]

Charlotte Knights 10, Rochester Red Wings 2The Knights (43-34) evened up the series against the mighty Red Wings (46-29) with a dominant performance in Charlotte. Overall, it was a fantastic evening for the Knights. The lower third of the order (Mario Camilletti, Andy Weber, and Dru Baker) combined to go 8-for-11 with a homer, a […]
