White Sox select RHP Eric Segura in the fourth round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 105 overall)
It’s back-to-back arms for the White Sox, winding up Day 1 of the draft by picking Eric Segura, a swingman righty out of Oregon State University with the 105th selection. This is the first lower-reaching pick the White Sox have made on the day — Segura was the 196th-ranked play on MLB’s draft board — […]
White Sox select RHP Joey Volchko in the third round of the 2026 MLB draft (No. 77 overall)
At last, the White Sox select a non-middle infielder, adding 21-year-old righthander Joey Volchko to the 2026 draft class. Volchko originally went to Stanford before transferring to Georgia, where he has been a dominant addition to the Bulldogs starting rotation. The righty is currently listed as the 68th-best prospect via MLB’s rankings, making him the […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 11, 2026
Nashville Sounds 4, Charlotte Knights 2The Knights (48-44) put up 14 hits against 10 from the Sounds (53-29), but Charlotte somehow scored just two runs, losing their third game of the series, 4-2. Seriously, it feels like you would have to try not to score if you have that many hits, but as we’ve learned […]
White Sox back to just one run of offense — but that’s enough against pathetic Athletics
Once again, the White Sox offense was almost nonexistent against a decent but unspectacular lefty starter. The key point, though, is the “almost.” The Sox only managed five hits against Gage Jump and two (Sacramento?) relievers and only drew two walks and struck out 11 times, but fortunately one of the walks came before one […]
Game Thread: Athletics (41-53) at White Sox (48-45)
Most of the attention of White Sox fans may be on the draft this afternoon, but there’s also the small matter of playing a game. And it’s even a game that will be followed by a geriatric home run derby. On the field, it will be lefty Bryan Hudson opening for the Sox, a role […]
How to Watch: The 2026 MLB draft
In some past seasons, we’ve written up every pick the White Sox make in the draft with individual stories. This year, we’ll let a constantly-updated Day 2 draft tracker do all the work, but overall we will have individual features on the first five White Sox picks (Nos. 1, 34, 44, 77, 105). An exciting […]
Today in White Sox History: July 11
1927 In a 7-6 win at Comiskey Park over the Boston Red Sox, the White Sox tied an MLB record with eight sacrifice hits. Sacrifice flies came from Bill Barrett and Harry McCurdy, as well as Bibb Falk twice. Sac bunts were successful from Roger Peckinpaugh and Willie Kamm. Aaron Ward contributed both a sacrifice […]
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 […]
White Sox Minor League Update: July 10, 2026
Nashville Sounds 11, Charlotte Knights 9Everything that went wrong with the Knights’ loss to the Sounds can be traced back to Jacob Gonzalez’s exit in the third inning. Despite firing an RBI double off in the first to help give Charlotte a 2-1 boost early, he was pulled during the game, as the Sounds were […]
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 […]
