Today in White Sox History: July 17
1917 In the opener of an eventual doubleheader sweep over the Senators, Eddie Cicotte spun a one-hitter for his 15th win of the season. Chick Gandil had the big offensive game for Chicago, going 3-for-4 with an RBI double. The win pushed the White Sox to 21 games better than .500, at 52-31. They made […]
White Sox unveil 2027 schedule
All right, White Sox fans, grab a pen and brace yourselves: Major League Baseball just dropped the 2027 schedule. Opening Day is set for a Wednesday night, March 24, with an exclusive Netflix game, though nobody knows who’s actually playing. It will be the earliest Opening Day in MLB history. The rest of the league […]
What brought on the strange final pre-break week of the White Sox?
The homestand before the All-Star break went to wild extremes. Sure, being swept in the first series was in part because Boston is a pretty good team despite its record. And sweeping the second one was in part because the A’s are awful, especially with their best hitters out or slumping. But the handedness thing […]
Today in White Sox History: July 16
1920 With the White Sox down to their last two outs in the ninth, trailing the Senators, 5-4, Joe Jackson capped a rally by hitting an inside-the-park grand slam past (or over) Washington center fielder Sam Rice. That score, 8-5, would hold up as a winner for the White Sox. It was at least the […]
Miguel Vargas is the turnaround
On July 28, 2024, the Dodgers beat Houston 6-2, improving their record to 63-44. Miguel Vargas didn’t play in that game and would never play for the Dodgers again. The next day, the Dodgers traded him to the White Sox, who lost in Kansas City, dropping to 27-82. The Dodgers went on to win the […]

Miguel Vargas blasts home run in AL All-Star Game win
Whatever it is about the All-Star Game that puts a chokehold on the National League should be studied. Once again, the American League prevailed, shutting out the NL in Philadelphia, 4-0. If you had the NL being held to three hits on your bingo card, then congrats, you win, because the bats were borderline silent, […]

Munetaka Murakami slams nine HRs, falls just short of semis in 2026 Home Run Derby
Halfway across the world in Japan, and in half of Chicagoland homes, all eyes were on White Sox slugger Munetaka Murakami and his performance in the 2026 Home Run Derby Mune, fresh off of the injured list and with only five total games under his belt before setting up in the Derby batters’ box, made […]

Hello, and welcome to the 2026 White Sox MLB draft tracker! Below, you’ll find every pick the White Sox make, with links to our individual stories on site for the five picks in the first four rounds.

Discussion: 2026 Home Run Derby!
When Munetaka Murakami was the eighth player named, at almost the very last minute, to the field of hitters in tonight’s Home Run Derby, things suddenly got a LOT more interesting for us White Sox fans. To that end, here’s your space to discuss the events of tonight and perhaps even look forward to tomorrow […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 12, 2026
We are currently in search of a new polling application to use with our updates, so please bear with our more naked feature today. Charlotte Knights 12, Nashville Sounds 4Completely redeeming themselves from Saturday, the Knights (49-44) popped off for 15 hits and blew out the Sounds (53-40), 12-4, splitting the series with three wins […]
White Sox end first half in emphatic fashion with 9-1 win, series sweep over A’s
The first half is officially in the books, and the Chicago White Sox are in first place. Sam Antonacci and Braden Montgomery homered, Miguel Vargas and Kyle Teel had multi-hit performances, and Noah Schultz threw five mostly stress-free innings as the Good Guys picked up their 50th win of the season, 9-1 over the Sacramento […]
White Sox select LHSP Cameron Johnson in the 15th round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 435 overall)
In all my time at South Side Sox, this is the sort of draft I’ve been waiting to cover for the White Sox, one where the club just kept digging up quality picks even late in the draft, as opposed to going completely off of the MLB board by, like, the fourth round. The South […]
White Sox select OF Braden Holcomb in the 12th round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 345 overall)
Just like that, the White Sox may have taken their position in the catbird seat of the draft (top pick overall, dealing for an extra sandwich pick after the first round) and put an outrageous amount of distance between themselves and the runner-up, striking again with a massive talent nab in the 12th round, nabbing […]
White Sox select RHSP Kyle Casteel in the 11th round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 315 overall)
Surprise, surprise, the White Sox have struck some gold in the 11th round, nabbing No. 162 MLB prospect Kyle Casteel of Butler (Pa.) H.S. with the No. 315 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Particularly given the timing, coming after an hour break in the draft and following three straight college value picks. The White […]
Game Thread: Athletics (41-54) at White Sox (49-45)
For all of the surprises we’ve gotten out of a wonderful first half of play from the 2026 White Sox, it feels perhaps a little fitting that they’ll head into the break by addressing (or at least attempting to address) one of the premier uncertainties that will have a heavy hand and determining whether we […]
White Sox select OF Clay Burdette in the seventh round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 195 overall)
It was a back-to-back, strong-armed outfielders move from the White Sox in the seventh round, nabbing Clay Burdette from Xavier University with the No. 195 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Just three years ago, Burdette was regarded as one of the three best shortstops in Ohio, but blossomed as a right fielder after a […]
White Sox select OF Alex Weingartner in the sixth round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 166 overall)
The White Sox dipped back in to the high school bats arena in the sixth round, selecting 2026 New Jersey Player of the Year Alex Weingartner out of St. Augustine Prep (N.J.) H.S. with the No. 166 pick in the 2026 MLB draft. Weingartner was a pitcher who was hitting 95-96 mph on the mound […]
White Sox select RHP Cal Scolari in the fifth round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 137 overall)
Imperfect but promising arms continue as the theme for the White Sox in the 2026 draft, as Cal Scolari is the next White Sox pick, as the 137th selection. Due to significant injury history — TJS in high school, missing his senior year and freshman year in college, and has pitched in just one college […]
White Sox select SS Roch Cholowsky in the first round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 1 overall)
The White Sox added a potential cornerstone player by selecting UCLA shortstop Daniel Roch Cholowsky with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft, with the toss-up between Cholowsky and prep SS Grady Emerson apparently lasting deep into Saturday morning. But that all turned out to be a ruse, as Cholowsky admitted that […]
White Sox select 2B/3B Landon Thome in the second round of the 2026 MLB draft (34th overall)
The Thome legacy continues on the South Side, as Chicago used their newly-acquired 34th overall pick to select infielder Landon Thome, the son of White Sox legend and Hall-of-Famer, Jim Thome. In a swap on Friday evening, GM Chris Getz traded IF Jacob Gonzalez and RHP Brandon Eisert to the Pittsburgh Pirates in exchange for […]
White Sox select 2B Cole Prosek in the second round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 41 overall)
The White Sox are simply addicted to middle infielders at this point, using their third selection of three so far in the draft to snag Magnolia Heights (Miss.) H.S. second baseman Cole Prosek with the 41st pick in the MLB draft. Prosek is a bat-first infielder who just this year started catching, which adds an […]
