The Chicago White Sox have been one of the biggest surprise teams in MLB during the first half of the 2026 season. After entering the year with modest expectations, Chicago has exceeded nearly every projection and enters the final weekend…
White Sox director of player development Paul Janish wouldn't refer to himself as a big decision-maker when it comes to this weekend's MLB Draft , but he's around for it for a reason. "Just being a resource is probably the best word in terms of the draft prep," Janish said in a pregame media scrum on Thursday. "I love being in the room, I love hearing about the players. I coached in college for a while prior to this role and so I have a pretty strong network on that side. So the ability to r...
Here’s our collection spot for all the White Sox draft picks in the 2026 class, including the No. 1 overall pick!
Boston completed its second consecutive three-game sweep Thursday afternoon, edging the White Sox 2-1 for its sixth straight victory. The win improved the Red Sox to 43-48, moving them within five games of .500 and, for the first time since late May, out of last place in the American League East.
As a rule, only scoring two runs in a three-game series isn’t a successful strategy, and this series wasn’t the exception that proved that rule. The White Sox fell behind 2-0 in the fourth when starter Anthony Kay issued a dreaded leadoff walk, followed by a 379-foot shot into the left-field stands by Caleb Durbin. […]
It didn't matter that Patrick Sandoval was making his first start in more than two years. What mattered is that he was a left-handed starter wearing a Boston Red Sox road gray uniform. Sandoval followed the lead of Peyton Tolle and Jake Bennett from the first two games of this series. He couldn't go as long given all the time missed from a lengthy journey back from Tommy John surgery, but he still held the White Sox in check for 4 ⅓ innings, and while Anthony Kay kept it close on Chicago's s...
Look, there could be any number of reasons why all the Japanese reporters who went to Charlotte to cover Munetaka Murakami's rehab assignment were back in the White Sox clubhouse on Thursday morning--Forgot their keys? Left the stove on in their apartment? A deep, throbbing headache that only begins to abate when they take hold of the large replica (presumably) sword that's been sitting on a table in the Sox clubhouse the last several days? All reasonable answers, but the safe assumption rem...

With Garrett Crochet still on the 60-day IL and 10-1 Sonny Gray being saved for the Yankees tomorrow, the White Sox have had the benefit of only facing three back-of-the-rotation lefties this series. Unfortunately, they managed just one run in the first two games, but maybe the third can be the proverbial charm. Today’s Red […]

1910 Near the start of an arduous, 22-game road trip that took them to every American League city but St. Louis, the White Sox dropped a doubleheader nightcap at Yankee Stadium, 3-2, in 11 innings. While that loss in itself wasn’t notable, what came after sure was. The 31-37 Pale Hose proceeded to drop a […]
Some reporters’ ears are still ringing from the concussive sounds of the high-fives Mike Shirley was giving out at the MLB Draft Lottery last December. Seven months and very few nights of seven hours of sleep later, the White Sox scouting director still professes enthusiasm about the highest profile assignment of his career to date.… The post White Sox scouting director Mike Shirley says No. 1 pick is down to 3: ‘I don’t know who it is yet, that’s the best part’ appeared first on Sox Machine .
It didn’t quite come with the new prospect smell of Boston Smith winning the White Sox’s minor league Player of the Month for June, but enough had changed under the hood with Pitcher of the Month Jairo Iriarte that his Zoom call served partially as a reintroduction to Chicago media members.

The White Sox bats have gone comatose. Four singles. That was it. Chicago never seriously threatened a rally in a 5-0 snoozer against Boston, snapping its winning streak of 10 straight home series. The offense has seemingly vanished, producing just one run in 21 innings dating back to the Cleveland series. (Thankfully, the Guardians bailed […]
In his Pebble Hunting newsletter -- and in Bluesky posts afterward -- Sam Miller has been bemoaning not just the lack of complete games, but the unwillingness for many managers to even give it a go . Jake Bennett added another one to the pile. Despite needing just 81 pitches to complete seven shutout innings ... and even though his single-inning high of 19 happened in the second ... and no matter the fact that he'd retired 13 of the last 14 batters he faced ... Chad Tracy didn't let him star...

It's not quite the swallows returning to Capistrano, but a celebrated annual tradition took place on Wednesday afternoon: White Sox scouting director Mike Shirley's pre-draft media availability. There's a longer article about it coming, which won't be spoiled by revealing the obvious stuff Shirley said like the decision being down to Roch Cholowsky, Grady Emerson and Vahn Lackey, all of whom have had private meetings with the team. It was at least a little interesting to hear him give a dire...

After getting thumped, 8-1, in Tuesday’s series opener, the White Sox will get a shot at redemption and even the series against the Red Sox.
