CHICAGO -- The White Sox possess a young and talented starting rotation, full of candidates looking to develop in everything from mound effectiveness and mound presence to even increased innings totals. Let’s look at the White Sox front five possibilities two weeks prior to SoxFest Live. Near certainties RHP Shane

CHICAGO -- The time spent by Will Venable as a student and athlete at Princeton University isn’t really germane to his current White Sox managerial status, aside from preparing him to be a knowledgeable baseball man and a leader. But Venable’s senior thesis (under advisor Lawrence Rosen), titled, “The Game

For the first three installments of the MLB Pipeline Executive Poll, we asked front offices around baseball to focus on players. For our fourth and final report, we asked them to turn the spotlight on each other. As we have since we started this series in 2023, we are wrapping

CHICAGO -- At 32 years old, and with parts of nine seasons and 223 games of Major League experience, left-hander Sean Newcomb immediately becomes the old man, or at least the true veteran, of the 2026 White Sox staff. To take that idea one step further, Newcomb will have the

If we had a dime for every time we’ve said or used the word “tools” at MLB Pipeline … we’d sure have a lot of dimes. Tools are, of course, the building blocks for prospects, and a lot of time is spent evaluating all of them to try to determine

CHICAGO -- Making a Major League debut holds a certain sense of great accomplishment and reward simply on its own. But to have success on that specific day presents an extra-special memory. Here’s a look at 10 of the greatest debut games in White Sox history, with two bonus near-debuts.

This page will be updated throughout the offseason with all the latest White Sox injury news and transactions.

In Part I of the MLB Pipeline Executive Poll, we took a look at the industry’s picks for Rookie of the Year in each league. This next installment will dig deeper into what front offices think about top prospects. The survey, filled out by more than 40 execs across nearly

The new year is all about resolutions -- and, yes, predictions! Nobody knows what the future holds, but on the latest MLB Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo do their best to try figuring it out. Callis and Mayo whip out their crystal balls to project which prospects will

Impact rookies certainly left their mark on the 2025 season. Nick Kurtz made history with an iconic four-homer game, on top of one of the best debut seasons we’ve ever seen. Trey Yesavage emerged as a bona fide postseason hero, as did Roki Sasaki and Cam Schlittler. From triple-digit heat

As we enter a new year and inch closer to the 2026 baseball season, there's much to be determined for many clubs as they head to Spring Training. While there has been plenty of offseason activity, many key free agents remain on the board, possible trade candidates haven't been moved

CHICAGO -- Fraser Ellard wasn’t quite a frontline part of the White Sox bullpen over the past two seasons. But the left-handed reliever, who turned 28 on Nov. 6, certainly contributed with a 3.95 ERA in 43 overall games and 48 strikeouts in 41 innings. So, how did those apparent

Welcome to the fourth annual MLB Pipeline Executive Poll. Starting before the 2023 season, we surveyed front offices across baseball -- from general managers to scouting directors, farm directors, analysts and beyond -- on a number of questions regarding prospects. As has been our tradition, we’re beginning with who they

The new year is for new starts, the unknown and the to-be-determined. No one can perfectly say what will happen in this 2026 calendar year, but we can certainly take a few highly educated guesses. In the land of Minor League Baseball, there may not be a more sought-after prediction

The calendar has flipped over to 2026, and we already have year-end awards on our minds here at MLB Pipeline. In 2025, we picked two of the three American League Rookie of the Year finalists in the Athletics' Jacob Wilson and Roman Anthony of the Red Sox. And we singled

A brand new year means new possibilities for all 30 teams. Whether it's postseason success, individual awards, statistical records or player development, there's something every club can dream on heading into 2026. With the help of MLB.com's 30 beat writers, here's one key prediction for every team ahead of the

Part of what makes baseball the best are the feats and amazing stats accruing left and right, every single day. We chronicle them throughout the year, but there’s no better time than before the calendar flips to take a look back. It’s hard to pick just one per team, after

Former top prospect Jarred Kelenic has agreed to a Minor League deal with the White Sox and will be a non-roster invitee to Spring Training. Kelenic, 26, elected free agency earlier this offseason after the Braves removed him from the 40-man roster and outrighted him to Triple-A Gwinnett. He hit

A new year brings new opportunities -- to build on the positives from last year, to improve on a disappointing season, or to finally reach expected potential. One or more of those could apply in 2026 for players on the verge of a breakout year. These are players who, for

CHICAGO -- Jonathan Cannon certainly didn’t set out to produce a 5.82 ERA over 22 games (17 starts) for the 2025 White Sox. But the 25-year-old right-hander won’t view his struggles as even the smallest mound impasse. Quite the contrary, in fact.

As we close the book on 2025 and celebrate the teams that enjoyed a great year, the teams that didn’t should keep this in mind: One year can make a huge difference. Just ask the Blue Jays. In 2025, they reached a World Series that they came this close to

Happy holidays, baseball fans. As our gift to you, we're back with the tradition we are determined to make happen: our yearly list of every team's longest home run of the season just past. Admittedly, we always think these lists make for good gifts, but we have a pretty good

With the Minor League season in the rearview mirror and a new year on the horizon, we took a look at how some of the top prospects performed in 2025.
