Baseball: Chicago White Sox

Earlier this month, it seemed as if starting pitcher Dylan Cease was in line to be the Opening Day starter for the Chicago White Sox. However, those plans changed dramatically, as Chicago traded Cease last week to the San Diego Padres for multiple prospects. Without Cease leading the White Sox's starting rotation, the team was placed in a tough…

American League president Ban Johnson unveils a key new city for the junior circuit: Chicago.

Johnson brokers an agreement with the Chicago Orphans (Cubs) both to share the city and use the old NL…

The 2024 spring training period is in full swing, and the Chicago White Sox are hoping, against all odds, to build a contender. The White Sox are not projected to do any better than third in the American League Central this season. However, they may surprise many and play better, especially with a solid batting lineup. But what lineup will we see…

The Chicago White Sox have a poor outlook for the immediate future, and there's no other way to say it. Entering the 2024 season, there is little doubt that they will be bottom-dwellers in the AL Central, and they could stay there for years to come. Last year, their 61-101 record was - somehow - not enough to earn a last-place finish in the…

Baseball Prospectus dropped its annual PECOTA Standings on Tuesday, and unsurprisingly the algorithm is not high on either Chicago team this season. PECOTA projects the White Sox to win just 65.5 games this year and says they have a 0% chance of making the playoffs. The algorithm has the Cubs winning a much more respectable 80.2 games, but still…

The idea of a new White Sox stadium on the river just south of downtown seems to be moving at the speed of a Bobby Jenks fastball, with the proposal going from closed-door talks to a virtual endorsement from the mayor in just two weeks.

That is, as long as you look from a very particular angle Where there's a yin there's a yang (I did happen across a site that predicted 74.5 wins, but that may have just been for humor. If somebody offers you the under on that, you may not want to bet your house... but a few rooms and the garage seems a safe wager.) However, things are not as bad…

To say the last calendar year has been bad for the White Sox would be an understatement. Dating back to April 2022, the White Sox entered the final week of spring training knowing they would be without Garrett Crochet, who needed Tommy John surgery, Lance Lynn missing several weeks with a knee injury, and somehow things got even worse during the…

The MLB Draft Lottery takes places today at Winter Meetings in Nashville, and it's just as confusing as ever. Given the amount of players who go into the draft every year, how long it takes to get through the minor leagues, and how few actually make it to the majors, it can be easy to be apathetic about the draft and all of its components,…

After a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad year, the Chicago White Sox are preparing to regroup in the most drastic way possible: by potentially dumping their entire team, or at least all of the players fans can be at all excited about. GM Chris Getz announced a White Sox fire sale at the beginning of the month in order to recover from the…

When Justin Anderson made his MLB debut for the Los Angeles Angels in 2018, it looked like he'd be a fixture in the Angels bullpen for years to come. He worked his way up to a set-up role, racking up 22 holds and four saves with just two blown saves. Yes, command was an obvious issue, but his stuff was great and he was reliable enough out of the…

The Chicago White Sox are expected to be active on the trade market and it's a process that began last week when they dealt relief pitcher Aaron Bummer to the Atlanta Braves for five players that likely were not going to be on the Braves' roster for much longer.

Just as the Cubs' dynasty we all hoped for never came to be after the team won it all in 2016, in recent years, the White Sox have failed in an even more dramatic way, completely failing to become the contender everyone expected coming out of its rebuild toward the end of the last decade. After advancing to the Wild Card round in 2020 and winning…

Les Moss said no, and it was a game changer for Jim Leyland. Leyland, who was recently nominated for baseball's Hall of Fame, was coming off three straight years managing the Lakeland Tigers, where he won Florida State League championships in 1976 and'77 and finished second in 1978. At the time, he was about as far away from Cooperstown as you can…

On the latest "White Sox Talk Podcast," one insider delved deeper into reports that the White Sox are in negotiations for starting pitcher Dylan Cease Chicago's ace is reportedly on the trading block, and it's very likely a deal goes through sooner rather than later.

With the contract tender deadline approaching for arbitration-eligible players, two AL Central teams made trades, both sending pitchers in their half of the deals.

Jason Benetti's dream job was to broadcast games for the team of his youth, the White Sox. Against all odds, Benetti, who grew up in south suburban Homewood, lived out that dream when he became a Sox TV announcer in 2016. He turned into a fan favorite and grew his national profile. But circumstances around the job became anything but dreamy. Last…

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The White Sox and their fans suffered a depressing loss on Thursday, as beloved TV play-by-play announcer Jason Benetti left Chicago to join the division-rival Detroit Tigers' broadcast booth. The move stunned many in the sports world, as Benetti grew up in Homewood and has been a lifelong White Sox fan. Considered one of the top…

2023 was a tough year for the Chicago White Sox. They didn't do a lot of winning and there has been a lot of fallout as a result. Players, coaches, and front-office executives have all been sent away. One of the major fallouts was the day that Kenny Williams and Rick Hahn were fired as the President and GM respectively. They were replaced by Chris…

After three seasons on the South Side that included a playoff appearance and two All-Star games, it appears that the Chicago White Sox are moving on from closer Liam Hendriks.
