BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Anybody with a vague sense of how Futures Game rosters are built probably ticketed Caleb Bonemer for Philadelphia well ahead of the announcement confirming it last Thursday, so it makes sense that Bonemer himself had even more lead time to prepare for Sunday’s prospect showcase at Citizens Bank Park. “I think [Winston-Salem…

If you determine the White Sox’s record during Munetaka Murakami’s absence by the games where he was unable to participate at all, they went 17-18 during his 35-game absence for a strained hamstring. If you approach it like the Major League Baseball rulebook determines a pitcher’s record, then you could say the White Sox went…

It took precisely one game for the White Sox to overwrite the vibes after getting swept by the Red Sox. After scoring just two runs and totaling zero extra-base hits over three games against Boston, the White Sox took out their frustration on a beleaguered Oakland pitching staff, hanging 13 runs on 11 extra-base hits…

Please bow your heads for a moment of silence to commemorate the 14-minute period where the White Sox officially had more bats than spots. After Jacob Gonzalez was optioned to Charlotte to clear a spot on the 26-man roster for Munetaka Murakami’s return, the White Sox traded him to Pittsburgh along with Brandon Eisert for…

After months of consideration, reconsideration, first-guessing, second-guessing, analysis, paralysis by analysis, wailing and the gnashing of teeth, the White Sox used the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft to select Roch Cholowsky, who was the favorite all along. The biggest surprise ended up being not who the White Sox selected, but how…

It’s not often that a team’s second pick is as predictable as its first, but the White Sox and prep shortstop Landon Thome are a special pairing. Between his father, Jim Thome, playing and working for the White Sox, Landon Thome playing for the White Sox’s Area Codes team, and Thome being high school teammates…
If you count Jacob Lopez’s work opening for the A’s on Friday along with Gage Jump’s start against the White Sox today, left-handed starters have held the White Sox to two runs over 24 ⅔ innings over the last five games. Fortunately, one of those runs came in Saturday’s game, and that run was enough…
Given that the White Sox held the the top draft pick, and their trade for the 34th-overall pick gave them an additional pick before the second round and the biggest draft pool, it’d be weird if the writers evaluating teams on their first four rounds of drafting couldn’t find reasons for excitement about how the…
Noah Schultz opened the game by giving up a single, erasing it with a double play, and then giving up a solo shot to Shea Langeliers before he could record the third out. Still, Schultz didn’t walk anybody, and he threw 13 of his 16 pitches for strikes. If a guy who came into the…
The White Sox hadn’t held the first overall pick in nearly 40 years, and when they selected Harold Baines at No. 1 back in 1977, he didn’t even have representation until Roland Hemond called him the night before. So it’s fair to call the 2026 draft the most anticipated one in White Sox history. And…
