The White Sox Stopped Screwing Up Long Enough To Let Tim Anderson Be The Bat-Flipping Hero
After getting suspended one game for calling a white guy the n-word, Tim Anderson told reporters that the punishment was not going to affect him because he won’t change for anybody. It should come as no surprise, then, that the shortstop celebrated his walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth on Fr...
Report: MLB Suspends Tim Anderson One Game For Calling Honky The N-Word
The Royals and White Sox had a brief scuffle Wednesday after Royals pitcher Brad Keller hit White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson in the tush with a pitch in bottom of the sixth inning.

White Sox Send Good Player To Minor Leagues<em></em>

The Manny Machado Sweepstakes Is Kind Of A Mess

Can Somebody Besides The White Sox Please Give Manny Machado An Offer?
MLB’s slow trudge towards the signing of top free agents Manny Machado and Bryce Harper may at last possibly be nearing a conclusion. It also may not be!

We're Approaching The Endgame Of The Machado/Harper Negotiations
Depending on how much you’re willing to believe the reported rumors, there appear to now be clear frontrunners in what seems to be at best to be three-team races for top free agents Bryce Harper and Manny Machado....
White Sox Sign Shitty Player
The Chicago White Sox did their part to keep the hot stove warm enough that you could put an oven mitt on it, then come back 10 minutes later to find it mildly toasty and perhaps worthy of being ranked as a warmth, by announcing the signing of shitty outfielder Jon Jay today....
Report: White Sox Acquire Starting Pitcher
MLB’s hot stove continues to burn the fingerprints off those who touch it, and the Chicago White Sox are somewhere in its vicinity, holding their palms up to try to warm up a little bit.

White Sox Attempt To Impress Bryce Harper By Introducing Him To Cleveland Indians Legend Jim Thome
The offseason recruitment of marquee free agent Bryce Harper by the handful of MLB teams that are actually trying to be good has begun in earnest, and Jeff Passan has a report detailing a few teams’ strategies for enticing the 26-year-old former MVP. It’s going to take a shitload of money to sign Ha...
Reports: The Chicago White Sox Exist
Given how easy it is for even their fans to forget about the Chicago White Sox’s existence, the most notable thing about baseball’s ongoing annual general manager meetings has probably been that several reporters for national outlets have written about the team, whose most recent campaign was highli...
Fiancée Of White Sox Pitcher Jace Fry Appears To Nuke Their Engagement Via Instagram
White Sox pitcher Jace Fry got his first career start Wednesday, against the Indians. It wasn’t a real start—the White Sox tabbed this one as a bullpen game, and Fry only pitched one inning—but, hey, a career first! Meanwhile, while he and his teammates were out there getting pounded by the Indians,...
Jose Abreu's Had A Run Of Bad Luck With His Groin Area
White Sox first baseman José Abreu will miss his team’s upcoming series with the Indians, as he was hospitalized and treated for “an ingrown hair infection in his right thigh.” That’s disconcerting and gross enough on its own, but when combined with the fact that Abreu just underwent surgery for a “...
Flamethrowing White Sox Phenom Michael Kopech Needs Tommy John Surgery
After making four starts this year, White Sox rookie Michael Kopech will most likely not return to the mound until 2020.

José Abreu Needed Emergency Surgery To Save A "Strangled" Testicle
White Sox first baseman José Abreu hasn’t played in a couple weeks, a result of an ambiguous outpatient “lower abdominal surgery” he reportedly underwent on August 20. Hernioplasty? Appendectomy? A testicle that twisted around and became tangled up in its own [passes out cold]:...
Adam Engel Makes Heroic Catch Despite Assault From Yankee Stadium Grass
Adam Engel has earned himself a bit of a reputation as a Yankee-killer this season, thanks to a tendency for the otherwise unspectacular White Sox centerfielder to make terrific grabs against the Bronx Bombers. Tonight, Yankee Stadium thought they might take some revenge on the home team’s fielding ...
The White Sox's Latest Inexplicable Baserunning Play Is The Best One Yet
The White Sox are not all that good at winning baseball games, but you have to hand it to them: they sure can cook up a stupefying baserunning highlight. In a fitting followup to yesterday’s rather odd back-to-back rundown situation, today Yolmer Sanchez got caught off third base when a grounder got...
Only The White Sox Could Get Into Two Haphazard Rundowns On Consecutive Pitches
The White Sox’s offense failed them last night as they lost 5-2 to the Twins, but they really livened up the eighth inning with some creative baserunning. Adam Engel was caught taking a big lead from first base, and really should have been thrown out, but Minnesota’s Joe Mauer nonchalantly flipped ...
Overwhelmed By White Sox Pitching Prospect, God Forces Rain Delay
Starting pitcher Michael Kopech, the 22-year-old flamethrower who was a key part of the Chris Sale trade a while back, made his Major League debut for the White Sox tonight. It was a much-anticipated start that brought a lot of intrigued fans out to Comiskey Park, so naturally, it couldn’t last....
