As the Sox were finalizing their crop of International Free Agents (which Fork wrote up for both sides of town here), they also took care of a couple of their own and avoiding arbitration with two of their starters in ace Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. In doing so, the Sox avoided arbitration with all […]
When the White Sox playoff run came to an abrupt end in the Oakland Coliseum in early October, it was A’s closer Liam Hendriks on the bump, sealing the Sox fate and sending Oakland on to the next round. Now, Hendriks will suit up in Silver and Black for the White Sox, joining an already […]
The Chicago Cubs have been giving out minor league deals with a lot of regularity in this offseason, so far focusing on bullpen arms. First came a waiver claim on hard throwing man-mountain Robert Stock, then they’ve spend the last two days reaching minor league deals with former Yankee James Holder and former National James […]
In a move that could have easily been inspired by Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman’s penchant for re-acquiring former players, the White Sox re-acquired RF Adam Eaton on a one-year deal for $7 million, with a team option for 2022 at $8.5 million on Tuesday.

Late Monday night, news broke that the White Sox achieved one of their offseason goals by acquiring a veteran starter in Texas Rangers right-hander Lance Lynn. In return, the Sox sent Dane Dunning and an unnamed prospect to Texas, who showed promise in 2020 as a young starter for the Sox. He had a 2-0 […]

Miguel Cairo takes over for Joe McEwing as Bench Coach, but McEwing isn’t going anywhere. McEwing is the new third-base coach as he enters his […]
Today at 7PM CST we have the deadline for MLB clubs to tender contracts for the upcoming year to players who do not have multiyear deals. So teams will have to decide whether to go to arbitration, extend, or say goodbye to players. Normally, this deadline isn’t too big a deal. You might get a […]

When White Sox first baseman Jose Abreu steps in between the white lines of an MLB diamond, he is motivated by one thing: his mother, Daysi.
