Prior to Saturday’s game, the White Sox will be awarded the Wintrust “Crosstown Trophy,” created by Wintrust and presented annually to the Club that wins the overall season series or retains the Trophy in the event of a series tie. The result of a fan vote in early 2020, the new design was unveiled following the White Sox season series victory over the Cubs in 2021 at Guaranteed Rate Field.
