The Chicago White Sox have been the American League’s biggest disappointment in the 2023 MLB season. That doesn’t mean every player on the roster has fallen below expectations. While a couple of White Sox players have been dreadful, others have been more than good enough to participate in the 2023 MLB All-Star Game. There will […]

The Milwaukee Brewers have been hit hard by the injury bug in 2023. Brandon Woodruff has been out since April, Luis Urias missed a large majority of the season and Willy Adames recently needed a stint on the injured list. Alongside Woodruff, players like Wade Miley and Jesse Winker still reside on the IL. Still, […]

In their 31-year history, the Miami Marlins have made the playoffs three times. They most recently made it in the shortened 2020 season, which expanded the playoff field to 16 teams, and before then have only made it in 1997 and 2003, winning the World Series both years. A fourth postseason berth is within reach […]

This is not exactly how many baseball fans envisioned the first couple of months of the 2023 MLB season going for the Toronto Blue Jays. They have a solid 34-28 record and would be in the playoffs if the season ended today, but there is still an underlying sense of disappointment surrounding this club. As […]

The Baltimore Orioles should seriously consider making a major move before the 2023 MLB trade deadline. The Orioles have been one of the best teams in baseball, on pace to win 102 games with more than 35% of the regular-season complete. If Baltimore hopes to pass the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East and […]

Not much has gone the Chicago White Sox’s way over the first half of the 2023 season, which has prompted many to predict that they will be sellers ahead of this year’s MLB trade deadline. In his weekly “Nightengale’s notebook” column, USA Today Sports’ Bob Nightengale shared updates on multiple “top trade candidates,” including White […]

Just two years removed from a 93-win season, the Chicago White Sox struggled in 2022 due to injuries.

Instead, the Sox currently sit at 12-24—the third-worst record in baseball—with signs of discontent already beginning to show. Not the […]

The Chicago White Sox placed SP Lucas Giolito on the Bereavement List ahead of their series opener against the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday, per the White Sox Twitter.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito is off to an up and down start to the 2023 MLB Season. He has two quality starts through five outings, something he certainly would have wanted more of after a rough 2022 season. In fact, it seems he can’t avoid the remnants of his 2022 campaign in just […]

The Chicago White Sox didn’t have a great 2022 season, and heading into the offseason, it was clear they didn’t necessarily have the assets to make several big moves to fix their roster. They have made some big moves, but they also have lost some key players, with the biggest loss being longtime first baseman […]

The Chicago White Sox are reportedly bringing pitching coach Ethan Katz back despite hiring new manager Pedro Grifol, per NBC Sports. NBC Sports and Ken Rosenthal also reported that a number of other White Sox coaches will not be returning to the team. Their decision to retain Katz makes sense for a number of reasons. First […]

In 2019, it was announced that the Houston Astros were involved in a cheating scandal. The Astros’ 2017 sign-stealing usage was the talk of baseball once the news broke. Houston immeditaely drew the wrath of players and fans. However, according to Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito, Houston was not alone in their cheating ways, […]

The Chicago White Sox have failed to meet expectations this season. After winning the American League Central last season, they were widely expected to do the same this season. Instead, they haven’t been able to replicate their success from last season, and have instead been one of the most disappointing teams in the entire league. […]

The Chicago White Sox entered the 2022 season with as much hype as any in recent memory. There is just over a month left in the regular season and the White Sox find themselves on the outside of the playoffs looking in. Much of that has to do with injuries, but also a number of […]

Chicago White Sox star pitcher Lucas Giolito has endured a disappointing 2022 season. In similar fashion to the White Sox as a team, he’s dealt with a combination of injuries and underperformance. On the season, he owns an underwhelming 4.91 ERA. But the right-hander is beginning to get things trending in the correct direction. Giolito […]

The Chicago White Sox have arguably been 2022’s biggest disappoint in MLB. They entered the season with lofty World Series expectations. Many experts predicted that they would win the Fall Classic. But they stumbled out of the gate and have played a mediocre brand of baseball this season. But they are in the underwhelming AL […]

The Chicago White Sox are under .500… and we are approaching mid-July. Many chalked up their difficult first month of the season to an early slump. At the end of May, Chicago was simply decimated with injuries. And then concern began to grow in June. And now we are in July, and the White Sox […]

The Chicago White Sox received a mixed bag of injury and health updates on Wednesday.

The Chicago White Sox look to be back on track after a brutal start to the season. Injuries to key players like Lucas Giolito, Yoan Moncada and Eloy Jimenez led to an eight-game losing streak.

The Chicago White Sox are cruising along at 6-3, despite being without outfielder AJ Pollock and starter Lucas Giolito due to injuries.

The Chicago White Sox were handed a couple of unfortunate blows at the beginning of the season, with Lance Lynn being ruled out until June and Lucas Giolito heading to the 10-day IL.

The Chicago White Sox have championship aspirations for the 2022 season. They have the most talent in the AL Central and expect to be able to compete with the best teams in the MLB. Many bettors are rolling with the White Sox to go all the way to the World Series. However, the team has […]

Chicago White Sox righty Lucas Giolito was cruising along on Friday against the Detroit Tigers, throwing four scoreless innings before having to leave early with abdominal tightness.

The Chicago White Sox have World Series ambitions after winning the AL Central last season. But they also have a lot of key players with injuries, especially on the mound. Lance Lynn, Garrett Crochet, Joe Kelly and Ryan Burr are all banged up, meaning a lot of pressure is on Lucas Giolito to step up. […]

The Chicago White Sox named Lucas Giolito their Opening Day starter following Lance Lynn’s sudden injury. Lynn had a legitimate argument to earn the role as Opening Day starter following his impressive 2021 performance that saw him finish with a 2.69 ERA and 176 strikeouts. Giolito’s ERA was not quite as good, as he finished […]

Two MLB contenders agreed to a trade on Friday as the Chicago White Sox sent relief pitcher Craig Kimbrel to the Los Angeles Dodgers in exchange for outfielder AJ Pollock.

The Chicago White Sox revitalized their team last season by winning the AL Central Division. Jose Abreu and Tim Anderson were phenomenal in leading the charge offensively, while Lucas Giolito and Lance Lynn have been tremendous assets in their rotation. The foundation is set for the White Sox led by tenured manager Tony La Russa. […]

The MLB is officially in a lockout after the owners and the Players’ Association failed to come to terms on a new Collective Bargaining Agreement. Thus, free agency is on hold, players are no longer allowed to work out at their team’s facilities, and effectively, the league is on pause. Well, in a rather bizarre […]

Rodon is scheduled to pitch Friday against the Boston Red Sox, Lynn will go Sunday against the Red Sox and […]

Chicago White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito wasn’t taking any crap from Minnesota Twins veteran Josh Donaldson after seeing what Donaldson said during his home run celebration in the first inning of Tuesday night’s game.

Chicago White Sox righty Lucas Giolito isn’t having a fantastic start to the season, but it can’t be denied that he’s got one of the best turnaround stories in the MLB today.

The Chicago White Sox are back in Major League Baseball’s postseason for the first time in 12 years.

In Game 1 […]

Every single season, MLB fans across the country expect their stars to perform at the highest level. We have become quite accustomed to the likes of Mike Trout and Christian Yelich putting up ungodly numbers, or Jacob deGrom and Justin Verlander dominating on the hill.

After being signed in the offseason to a one-year deal, outfielder Jon Jay never truly got going in 2019, and his season is going to be over, as he is slated to undergo season-ending surgery.
