The annual PECOTA projections are out and we are bullish on why the White Sox will outperform them. They may not be a .500 team, but we are willing to bet the Sox are not losing 100 games. Hear the reasons why! Plus ask yours...

Word is that several teams have tried to acquire Luis Robert Jr this offseason, but the ask from Chris Getz (and his unwillingness to send money) has stopped a move for now. We look at the teams likely to pull the trigger for...

Courtney Finnicum of "Baseball Isn't Boring" takes us behind the scenes at this past weekend's SoxFest Live. Hear what annoyed the fans enough to get a "Sell the Team" chant going, get the word on a few prospects that stood o...

Our guy Ed returns from his heart attack and he has reaction to some of the tidbits and White Sox storylines we uncovered in the past week. What is Luis Robert Jr's real problem? Who plays SS if Montgomery isn't ready? Did CO...

With 3 weeks before pitchers and catchers report, we check in with MLB.com beat reporter Scott Merkin for an inside look at what the White Sox are doing and why they are doing it this way. Get his take on the big stories to w...

The MLB International Signing Period is upon us, and the White Sox have intriguing players brought in by two different regimes. They are also snagging previously unavailable players due to the battle for Rōki Sasaki. James Fo...

Chris Getz spoke publicly about a lot this week, but his moves backed up a clear change in the White Sox front office. We break down the additions of Martin Perez and Bobby Dalbec, along with several subtractions that show a ...

There is something to be said for looking at your favorite team from an outside perspective. A recent list of 150 players with high long-term projections produced three members of the White Sox organization. The amazing part ...

The White Sox front office is adding competition at every position, and the signing of Joshua Rojas puts the entire infield on notice. We look at the value of the newest White Sox position player and how it will impact player...

As 2025 kicks off we turn the page on a tough year and look forward with some hope. Some outside-the-box prospect write-ups and a crazy trade possibility have us ready to move ahead. Chris Lanuti and his buddy Ed Siebert sit ...

The White Sox acquired a pitcher with an interesting baseball card and path to the majors. Edgar Quero is talking like he expects to be in Chicago all season. Will he be a catcher out of the gate, or will the White Sox follow...

Do the White Sox have a chance at starting pitcher Rōki Sasaki? It really makes zero sense, or does it? We also love the latest White Sox social media video with pitcher Gus Varland. Can we get more of those? Maybe Andrew Vau...

All signs point to an array of positional battles on the 2025 White Sox, and some you may not see coming. The new philosophy doesn't seem to protect anyone. On a team with no superstars, who do you want to see get playing tim...

Nancy Faust and The Sox Nerd join us to remember Beltin' Bill Melton. Some recent pitcher contracts may have made Garrett Crochet more valuable while a Scott Merkin blurb asks if the White Sox are overvaluing another player t...

The Commissioner of Major League Baseball hates the game of baseball. A proposed "Golden At Bat" rule proves it. We explain the ramifications of such an idiotic rule, and explain why some covering the game will wrongly promot...

The Chicago Bears and Chicago White Sox are so similar it hurts, and we just saw a great example of that this past month. The firings of Pedro Grifol and Matt Eberflus were late, but the guys making those moves seem to bring ...

Reports abound of potential White Sox targets in free agency and via trade. We sort through the Garrett Crochet and Luis Robert Jr chatter and try to find a direction in the early part of this offseason. Is Getz laying a base...

New manager Will Venable and hopefully the new Chris Getz front office are taking a look at what's already on the roster before making offseason moves. If Garrett Crochet is traded, is that because the offers are too great t...
