Will Venable called it “another level of special and another level of grit that our guys showed,” to get out of Cleveland with a split and the division lead, but it turns out games against a last place Boston team (which has won eight of their last 10) also count in a division race. The…

Davis Martin is seventh among qualified American League pitchers in ERA, second in the AL in Baseball-Reference’s wins above replacement, tied for second in pitching wins, and the best starting pitcher on a surprising first-place team. Perhaps none of those measures fully sum up the sense that he should be in Philadelphia next week, but…

It’s not quite the swallows returning to Capistrano, but a celebrated annual tradition took place on Wednesday afternoon: White Sox scouting director Mike Shirley’s pre-draft media availability. There’s a longer article about it coming, which won’t be spoiled by revealing the obvious stuff Shirley said like the decision being down to Roch Cholowsky, Grady Emerson…

The best and healthiest versions of Noah Schultz's minor league work featured a lot of efficient, economical strike-throwing. In that vein, a 33-pitch firs

Some reporters’ ears are still ringing from the concussive sounds of the high-fives Mike Shirley was giving out at the MLB Draft Lottery last December. Seven months and very few nights of seven hours of sleep later, the White Sox scouting director still professes enthusiasm about the highest profile assignment of his career to date.…

The White Sox have lost a season-high three games in a row and are the only MLB team yet to lose four consecutive games at any point this season. They’re tied for first place in an AL Central where four teams, including the resurgent Detroit Tigers, are within five games of the division lead. But…

Tristan Peters has had a wild last 18 hours, a wild last five months, but there’s pretty much no point in his past that doesn’t seem like a distant memory compared to his new present: an American League All-Star. Remember what they had him doing in April? “We’re not seeing as much of the bunting…

In December, the White Sox won the right to pick first overall in a deep 2026 MLB Draft, which everyone assumed at the time — correctly — set them up to add the long-ballyhooed UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky. Friday night, they traded 2023 first-round selection Jacob Gonzalez, hauling in the 34th overall pick to provide…

With a victory, the White Sox will enter the All-Star break in first place in their division, for the first time since 2021. They could accomplish that without a victory too, but it would require help from the Marlins against the Guardians, and a win would also give the Sox their sixth sweep of the…

PHILADELPHIA — It was an assumption, a poor one, by this reporter, that the scrum around Miguel Vargas’ table during All-Star Game media availability would be less crowded, fierce and chaotic than the furor surrounding Munetaka Murakami. Apologies to all Spanish-language sports media, I was not adequately familiar with your game. But the process of…
