White Sox get beat down in Beantown, 14-2

The White Sox (59-53) folded on offense and waved the white flag on the mound as the Red Sox (61-51) rolled to a 14-2 victory in Tuesday’s series opener, outhitting Chicago, 15-6. Davis Martin floundered through five innings while Patrick Sandoval worked smoothly through the South Siders despite struggling with his control, earning the W […]

Roch gets rolling

It’s go time for Roch Cholowsky.   After being selected first overall by the White Sox, Cholowsky officially began his professional career with Winston-Salem on Tuesday night. He started at shortstop and batted second for the Dash, reaching base once via a walk in five plate appearances. It wasn’t much, but there were definitely some […]

Game Thread: White Sox (59-52) at Red Sox (60-51)

Both the White and Red Sox were active at Monday’s trade deadline as they chase their respective division titles. A three-game set on the road in Boston will be a good test for the South Siders against high-quality competition in a tough atmosphere away from home, giving a taste of what the playoffs could potentially […]

The dust has settled on the trade deadline, and there is now baseball to be played. If you have missed all the trade news over the last week, here is what you should know. Chicago acquired starting pitcher Luis Castillo and reliever Huascar Brazobán, along with catcher Joey Bart and outfielder Brenton Doyle. The overall […]

South Side Sox Reacts: How’d Getz do at the deadline?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Sox fans and fans across the country. This week, we have a pretty predictable question for you, one that’s already been tackled by one writer on site, as well as in our post-deadline podcast: […]

July 2026 White Sox check-up: This team is thriving

July showed that the White Sox can handle pressure without breaking. Although a 13-12 record jeopardized their standing as the AL Central’s leader, the Sox came out of one of the most testing months with one series sweep, three series wins, and two ties against a much more competitive AL East and a few opponents […]

MLB trade deadline: Give Getz, White Sox a C+

Most of us feared the worst when it came to a first Chris Getz trade deadline as a buyer, but even nonbelievers in the GM can agree that his work this August helped the White Sox more than it hurt. But now, let’s dig down into the three major moves the White Sox made to […]

Below, you’ll find every trade and acquisition the White Sox made over the past two weeks, anticipating the near-freeze of transactions after August 3.

White Sox add defensive whiz Brenton Doyle, but why?

Two-time Gold Glove winner Brenton Doyle is heading to the Chicago White Sox from Colorado, as GM Chris Getz has entered his “defensive replacement” phase of team-building. The cost is not nothing, as preseason No. 10 South Side Sox prospect Mason Adams is the headliner shipped out west to the Rockies. Carlos Vielma, a 16-year-old […]

White Sox Minor League Update: August 2, 2026

Nashville Sounds 5, Charlotte Knights 3The Knights (58-50) and Sounds spent most of the night shadowboxing, but it was Nashville who finally landed the knockout punch. José Urquidy kept things quiet until the third, when the Sounds eked out a run. Charlotte’s bats, comatose until the fifth, finally woke up with a Ryan Galanie triple […]

White Sox claim series in Tampa with career day for Anthony Kay

Anthony Kay dealt, the White Sox offense punished Tampa Bay pitching mistakes, and Chicago felt control of this game virtually from start to finish, culminating in a 9-1 victory for the South Siders that keeps them three games ahead of the Cleveland Guardians in the AL Central entering the post-deadline stretch. It was a career […]

The biggest White Sox needs ahead of Monday’s trade deadline

Special Note: This article was written on the afternoon of August 1, hours before the White Sox received Luis Castillo in exchange for Seranthony Domínguez, Nolan Jones and Boston Smith. The White Sox clearly feel like they can turn around Castillo’s decline. I don’t see him as a meaningful upgrade over Erick Fedde and Anthony […]

Today in White Sox History: August 2

1901 A 7-0 win over Detroit made it three straight shutouts for the White Sox. The Tigers were the victims of all three whitewashes: Clark Griffith’s 2-0 win on July 31, Nixey Callahan’s 4-0 one-hitter (the first in Sox history) on August 1, and Roy Patterson’s 7-0 two-hitter to end the run. Both of Patterson’s […]

Breaking: White Sox acquire Luis Castillo in deadline deal

On Saturday evening, Jeff Passan broke the news that the White Sox (58-52) have acquired starting pitcher Luis Castillo from the Mariners (54-58). In exchange, Seattle received reliever Seranthony Domínguez, Triple-A outfielder Nolan Jones and Double-A catcher Boston Smith. Castillo, 33, is set to join the starting rotation on the South Side. In 2026, Castillo […]

White Sox Minor League Update: August 1, 2026

Nashville Sounds 6, Charlotte Knights 3Lefthander Tyler Gilbert allowed five runs in the bottom of the first, and the Knights (58-49) couldn’t dig themselves out of the hole, falling to the Sounds (58-49), 6-3. Gilbert loaded the bases up after four batters and things snowballed from there. The bats chipped away and drove in two […]

Game Thread: White Sox (58-51) at Rays (64-45)

Wow! First place in the Al Central by three games entering August, three straight wins over the top teams in the league, talk of adding at the deadline instead of the usual subtracting! Why, it’s enough to make a nonagenarian who hates fans and players happy, even if only because it means a whole lot […]

South Side Sox Reacts: Faith in a first-place team

The White Sox have held at least a share of first place since July 4, and a total of 49 days total this season. And yet with a ridiculously light schedule for the second-place Cleveland Guardians (three games back, playing .500 ball), it’s no guarantee the South Siders will be able to hold on to […]

Out of the cornfield, and into the playoff hunt

Someone call Homer or Christopher Nolan, because I have been on one hell of an Odyssey! OK, with that bit of topical humor out of the way, allow me to re-re-reintroduce myself. My name is Leonard Gore, Lenny to my friends and colleagues here at South Side Sox, and @Leonard42 on the Bird App (oh! […]

Today in White Sox History: August 1

1901 In a 4-0 masterpiece hosting Detroit, Nixey Callahan tossed the first one-hitter in White Sox history. Only his Tigers counterpart, Joe Yeager, had a safety. Callahan himself had two hits in his win, while the White Sox also tapped out three triples and left fielder Herm McFarland went 3-for-4 with three singles. 1925 Ted […]

White Sox Minor League Update: July 31, 2026

Nashville Sounds 4, Charlotte Knights 2A snoozing offense proved to be Charlotte’s downfall. There were lots of zeroes to start the game. Through the fifth inning, the Knights had zero hits and were 0-for-2 with runners in scoring position. Although the lineup managed to limit its strikeouts to five, there was so much to be […]
