Kannapolis Cannon Ballers 2026 Season Review
It was a steady and encouraging season for the Kannapolis Cannon Ballers, who finished 2026 in third place in the Carolina League South with a 71-61 overall record. After going 33-33 and finishing fifth in the first half, the Ballers found another gear, going 38-28 and climbing to second place in the second half. Kannapolis […]

Today in White Sox History: September 7
1901 With a three-game lead in the race for the pennant, the White Sox hosted the second place Boston Americans at South Side Park in the start of a four-game set. A three-run rally in the fourth, fueled by one of Herm McFarland’s two doubles on the day, led to a 4-1 win. Nixey Callahan […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 6, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 2Both the Knights (74-64) and Stripers (70-67) scored in the first, and came up with five hits each in the game, but Charlotte struck out 18 times as a team and were never able to get any runners in scoring position, losing in back-to-back nights to split the series. Both of […]
RISP finally leads to reward, White Sox take series from Twins
Call it a winning streak! Not for the White Sox. Taking two of three from an AL Central rival in what wound up being emphatic 10-1 fashion is always satisfying, but it wasn’t two in a row. No, folks, I’m celebrating me and my absolute heater of 10 wins in 11 recap tries. Put me […]
Game Thread: Twins (68-74) at White Sox (74-68)
The White Sox are set to conclude their season series against the Minnesota Twins under the bright lights of Sunday Night Baseball. Bryan Hudson will be the opener for the Sox, his eighth time appearing in the role this year. He’s been largely effective to this point, allowing three earned runs over eight innings leading […]
South Side Sox Reacts: High-80s wins are right on target
It was a dangerous question to ask, with the Cleveland Guardians still on Chicago’s heels. No one wants to be a curse, certainly not with a Reacts question. But we were bold, asking you to pinpoint a wins total for the White Sox with just a month remaining. So far, 60% of you are right […]
Today in White Sox History: September 6
1903 Doc White of the White Sox hurled a one-hitter in beating Cleveland, 1-0, in 10 innings in Chicago. It would be the first of five one-hitters thrown by White between 1903 and 1908 without ever throwing a no-hitter. Cleveland’s only hit was by third baseman Bill Bradley, a double. White also threw one-hitters against the Browns in 1904, […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 5, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 5, Charlotte Knights 3Not only did the Stripers (69-67) outhit the Knights (74-63), 8-6, but a bullpen implosion in the eighth allowed Gwinnett to take the lead and ultimately win the game, 5-3. The good news is that Charlotte is still hanging in second place, on the cusp of a playoff berth. The […]
Bullpened, again: White Sox can’t sustain early power, fall to Minny, 6-4
If you skipped the game thread text tonight, first of all, shame on you, our staff busts their knuckles prepping game previews for you. But second, I am your host tonight, channeling several of our writers who are tonight, together, at the ballgame. (Did they invite me? I’ll never tell. No, of course they did. […]
Game Thread: Twins (67-74) at White Sox (74-67)
It’s just unfortunate luck that several South Side Sox writers chose this game — BRO VEST NIGHT or some such silliness — as 2026’s game to attend. I was, in fact, scheduled to join them, but instead I am taking on coverage for tonight. Probably for the best, as our crew will have more fun […]
Justin Ishbia’s Canal Edge unveils a new White Sox ballpark: The Railyards
If there’s one thing that is clear as the lease to Rate Field winds down, it is that the the White Sox no longer want to play there. Now, after Jerry Reinsdorf’s failed attempt at relocating his White Sox to The 78, the future owner of the club has stepped up with plans for a […]
Today in White Sox History: September 5
1978 A catastrophic base-running mistake for the Twins secured a 4-3 Chicago win at Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota, in front of 3,630 fans. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh and just one out, down 4-0 to the White Sox, Twins outfielder Bombo Rivera singled to center. The hit drove in Dan […]
White Sox 2027 Spring Training schedule announced
We already had the 2027 regular season schedule announced in July, and on Friday the White Sox released the games that will lead into the regular season. There aren’t many surprises, given the same 14 opponents. And we’ve got no game times or broadcast information yet. But nonetheless, here it is: Everything starts earlier in […]
Dash win, 8-2, to qualify for the High-A playoffs
It’s been a rare occurrence, a White Sox affiliate making the playoffs this decade. And outside of the back-to-back Southern League titles by the Birmingham Barons in 2024-25, there has been scant success in those rare postseasons. Coming off a 56-74 record last year and with only Single-A and ACL talent to pull from, it […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 4, 2026
Charlotte Knights 9, Gwinnett Stripers 3The Knights inched closer to the playoffs with a strong win over the Stripers. Home runs fueled a team hungry to prove that having a bunch of 4A guys on the squad won’t go to waste. Caden Connor’s three-run blast in the fifth made a statement, and essentially put the […]
Fightin’ Feddes prevail over the Twins, yet again
There are a lot of games left to be played. There is no doubt that one win at this point of the season won’t decide anything. With that being said, Friday night went a long way for a Chicago White Sox team that has been floundering in the deep end for a few weeks now. […]
Game Thread: Twins (67-73) at White Sox (73-67)
Well, the AL Central race has not exactly been much of a race, and this past week it’s looked like two hurt tortoises limping towards the finish line. For as poor as the Chicago White Sox have been lately, the Cleveland Guardians have been just as bad, and honestly, that’s been good enough. No, you […]
Three blind decisions: Chris Getz’s biggest mistakes this season
Fall is here, the White Sox sit atop the AL Central, and the scent of a postseason run — albeit likely a very short one — is wafting through the air. Although Chicago fans have been looking forward to a competent team since before Pope Leo was inaugurated, one of the Sox’s latest roster moves […]
Today in White Sox History: September 4
1937 Mike Kreevich tied the MLB record, with four doubles in four straight at-bats, in a 9-1 win at Detroit. The center fielder’s 4-for-6 day, with three runs and an RBI, moved his batting average up to .318. Three of his four doubles came off Tigers starting pitcher Tommy Bridges. In his second season as […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 3, 2026
Charlotte Knights 1, Gwinnett Stripers 0Pitching ruled the night as Charlotte (72-63) and Gwinnett locked horns for eight innings. Jonathan Cannon took the ball and delivered 5 1/3 shutout frames, allowing three hits and no walks while recording four punchouts. The bullpen was nails, hurling 3 2/3 scoreless innings while allowing just one hit — […]
Offense Astro-logy: White Sox fall to Houston, 6-2
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 […]
Game Thread: White Sox (73-66) at Astros (71-69)
The White Sox will need to find some better offense this afternoon than they’ve shown so far in the series, and it may be a challenging assignment. That’s because after failing to feast on pitchers just back from Tommy John surgery — scoring eight runs in three games — they now have to deal with […]
A weekend with the Women’s Professional Baseball League
Sitting at Robin Roberts Stadium on Friday, watching the Boston Hunters take on the San Francisco Firebells, I asked my mom what I thought was a simple question: “Would you have played baseball instead of softball if given the chance?” My mom grew up a Cubs fan and admired players such as Ron Santo and […]
White Sox Minor League Update: September 2, 2026
Gwinnett Stripers 4, Charlotte Knights 2After a 3-1 victory on Tuesday, the Knights (72-62) offense had a rough night in Gwinnett against the Stripers (68-65), and the series is tied. Knights starter Drew Thorpe, 25, had a solid start, only allowing two runs on four hits in five innings. However, in this game, the Knights […]
