CHICAGO – Before it truly took root, Garrett Crochet basically spoke into existence his high-level mound performance as a first-time Major League starting pitcher, leading the White Sox left-hander to claim this year's American League Comeback Player of the Year Award. It began at the end of the 2023 season,

CHICAGO -- Yoán Moncada’s run with the White Sox apparently has come to a close, with the team declining a $25 million club option for the 2025 season on the third baseman Friday. Moncada will receive a $5 million buyout as part of a five-year, $70 million extension agreed upon

CHICAGO – Happy birthday, Will Venable. You are the new manager of the Chicago White Sox. A source confirmed to MLB.com that Venable, who turned 42 Tuesday, will become the 44th manager in franchise history. The White Sox did not comment on the report. Venable knows the Chicago baseball scene,

DETROIT -- Garrett Crochet did his best to stave off the inevitable. And in the face of a single-season record-breaking 121 losses, the White Sox played their most complete series of ‘24 by sweeping three from the Angels to conclude the home portion of their ledger from Tuesday to Thursday

There’s at least a possibility for that title to become permanent, as White Sox general manager Chris Getz put Sizemore in consideration for the opening during an extensive pregame media session prior to Tuesday’s series opener

SAN DIEGO -- The number under the loss column no longer is avoidable for the 2024 White Sox. At 119, following a 6-2 setback to the Padres on Saturday night at Petco Park, it is now historic in the most dubious sort of way. The White Sox tied the 2003

SAN DIEGO -- Yoán Moncada didn’t play in the White Sox 3-2 10-inning loss vs. the Padres Friday night at Petco Park, during which Garrett Crochet fanned eight to reach 203 strikeouts and Chicago fell for the 118th time in this miserable 2024 campaign. Those 118 losses mark the third-highest
