White Sox Acquire Cash Considerations
The hot stove is burning to the touch, and the Chicago White Sox are, as usual, stoking the flames.

Red Sox Player Has Perfect Game In World Series

José Altuve Hitting Dingers Is The Best Baseball Has To Offer
At some point, José Altuve’s height should probably no longer be dwelled on, but seven years into his career, it’s still fun as hell to marvel at him being one of the best players in the baseball—and a good-as-hell candidate for the AL MVP—in tandem with his, uh, modest vertical dimensions....
José Altuve Went Dinger-Crazy
Tonight’s Game 1 of the ALDS very quickly revealed itself to be far from ideal for Boston starter Chris Sale.

Good-For-Nothing White Sox Spoil Ninth Inning No-Hitter With Pointless Double

Cycles Are Good, And Jose Abreu Did A Good One
Before you come in here with your mew mew mew cycles aren’t valuable, a two-homer game is more valuable than a cycle routine, know this: cycles are good because they are unlikely and interesting.
