It's never a good sign for a trade deadline haul when a team might've been better off making zero trades than the four that went through. Or that the most productive player of those four was hurt in his third game, and might not be available the rest of the season.
As James wrote in the wake of the trade deadline, Chris Getz tried to balance immediate and longer-term interests by acquiring players -- Luis Castillo for the rotation, Huascar Brazobán for the bullpen, Joey Bart for catching, Br...

The White Sox have shut down left-hander Ky Bush due to a lat strain, per Scott Merkin of MLB.com. He won’t return this season.

Talk about Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde. The Astros seemed poised this week to not only beat them in a series, but also eventually leapfrog them into the two seed. Astros 6. White Sox 2. It took more than a month, but finally, Houston has won a series at home. You’d be hard […]
Earlier this week, the White Sox designated left-hander Tyler Gilbert for assignment to free up a spot on their 40-man roster for Tommy Pham. Gilbert went unclaimed on waivers, and today, Chicago sent him outright to Triple-A Charlotte. Having been outrighted twice before in his career, he had the right to reject the assignment, but […]
The good thing about this week’s series in the land of the Crawford Boxes and the choo-choo is that both Sean Burke and Davis Martin pitched extremely well, a big turnaround from their recent starts and a good sign for the stretch run. The bad thing — well, besides nearly the entire offense — is […]
Luis Castillo attempt to help the White Sox salvage a split looked good early. Or at least through two batters.
But after a pair of strikeouts, Castillo lost a 10-pitch battle to Isaac Paredes with a two-out walk, then watched Jose Altuve send a head-high fastball over the Crawford Boxes for a 2-0 hole that better summed up the innings that lay ahead.
