Breaking: White Sox ship out Jacob Gonzalez for 34th pick in the draft, eyeing Landon Thome
When Jacob Gonzalez was removed from his game at Triple-A Charlotte on Friday — in a rather brusque manner, pulled off the field in the middle of a seven-run third inning for the Nashville Sounds — it seemed clear that a trade was in the offing. Two hours later, word came through that the White […]
White Sox get back on track with dominant win over Athletics
With the White Sox coming into this game on a three-game losing streak and the Athletics coming to town, it was crucial to end the first half on a high note. Chicago’s bats had been silent and their pitching had been problematic for quite some time but that was all remedied against the Athletics. In […]
Game Thread: Athletics (41-52) at White Sox (47-45)
Well it looked like this season’s magical run was made for the storybooks at the end of June. Unfortunately for the White Sox, July has had a mind of its own. After entering the month with a 45-39 record, the South Siders have won just two of their last eight games and are now tied […]
Pyschoanalyzing the White Sox draft room
Chicago’s future will be decided this weekend in a conference room in Philadelphia, at approximately 12 p.m. CT. Although I only partially mean it facetiously, that’s how the front office has seen the first pick of the 2026 MLB draft since the Winter Meetings that revealed its lottery win. For the last seven months, Chicago’s […]
South Side Sox Reacts: A shortstop is in the offing … but which one?
We are just a day a away from learning who the White Sox will make the overall No. 1 pick. But we couldn’t let that happen without tapping the esteemed Reacts voting bloc weigh in. And among the trio of Roch Cholowsky, Grady Emerson and Vahn Lackey there was a clear favorite … position, that […]
White Sox 2026 MLB draft No. 1 pick possibility: Vahn Lackey
The White Sox kick off the 2026 MLB draft by making the No. 1 overall selection at noon CT on Saturday, and will choose among three plum prospects: UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky, Georgia Tech catcher Vahn Lackey and shortstop Grady Emerson from Fort Worth Christian (Texas) H.S. We’re digging deeper into all three players in […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 9, 2026
Charlotte Knights 9, Nashville Sounds 2Old friend Jonathan Cannon took the hill for the Knights and promptly served up a run in the first on a couple of doubles. But Charlotte (48-42) came out swinging in the bottom half, hanging a six-spot on the board with three bombs: Nate Jones with a three-run shot, Andy […]

2026 Chicago White Sox draft
Here’s our collection spot for all the White Sox draft picks in the 2026 class, including the No. 1 overall pick!
Wrong Sox complete sweep, edge White Sox 2-1
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. […]
Game Thread: Red Sox (42-48) at White Sox (47-44)
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 […]
Today in White Sox History: July 9
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 […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 8, 2026
Nashville Sounds 6, Charlotte Knights 3After a one-sided victory on Tuesday, the Knights (47-42) dropped a game against the red-hot Sounds (51-38), who managed to even up the series in Charlotte. Rikuu Nishida led off the bottom of the first with a single, and Munetaka Murakami drove a double to deep center that put the […]
White Sox offense takes another night off in 5-0 loss
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 […]
Game Thread: Red Sox (41-48) at White Sox (47-43)
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. Fortunately for the South Siders, Cleveland also lost, allowing Chicago to maintain its one-game lead atop the American League Central despite the lopsided defeat. It was an ugly loss, but […]
Today in White Sox History: July 8
1928 The White Sox pounded out 20 hits in a 13-7 win at Washington, which remains tied for 71st-most in club history. Everyone in the lineup had at least one safety except for catcher Buck Crouse, who at least walked once in the game. Leadoff man Bill Hunnefield led the way with four hits, going […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 6-7, 2026
Charlotte Knights 8, Nashville Sounds 2Munetaka Murakami kicked off his Charlotte (47-41) rehab with a single in his first trip, putting two on with nobody out. That set up a first-inning run, courtesy of a Ryan Galanie fly out and a Caden Connor sac fly. Mune stuck around for five innings at first, finishing 1-for-3 […]
Fair or foul? White Sox drop series opener to Red Sox, 8-1
The White Sox (47-43) took one on the chin to open the six-game homestand with the Red Sox (41-48), getting outhit, 11-4, and blown out, 8-1. Only two batters actually got a hit for the Good Guys, with Sam Antonacci snagging three hits, and Kyle Teel driving in the sole run for the South Siders. […]
Game Thread: Red Sox (40-48) at White Sox (47-42)
After splitting a four-game series in Cleveland, the White Sox return to Chicago to wrap up the first half while hopefully maintaining sole possession of first place in the AL Central. Boston comes to town with a three-game win streak after sweeping the Los Angeles Angels, and is playing much better as a whole as […]

White Sox Weekly June 22 – July 5, 2026
In baseball, if you take your eye off the ball for just a split second, you risk swinging right past a pitch down the middle. When spectating, it is just as easy to miss a series or two and have no idea what caused your team to remain atop the division after playing the last […]
Today in White Sox History: July 7
1931 In a 12-inning game in St. Louis won by the White Sox over the Browns, 10-8, neither team struck out. It remains the longest game ever played in the majors without a K. Tommy Thomas pitched a sloppy start but left in line for the win, leading 8-7 going into the ninth inning. But […]

1933 The first-ever All-Star Game was played at Comiskey Park. The White Sox won a coin flip with the Cubs for the right to host the game that was the idea of Chicago Tribune sports editor Arch Ward, and was played in connection with the Chicago World’s Fair that started in May along the lakefront. The […]
