Sox pitcher Garrett Crochet delivers to a Royals batter on April 7 in Kansas City, Mo. Colin E. Braley/AP The uncharted waters Garrett Crochet and the White Sox find themselves navigating in Crochet’s first season as a major league starting pitcher are undefined. They are potentially more hazardous – throwing a baseball at high velocities for a living are fraught with risks -- than a lazy float along the Chicago River. The Sox have a prized commodity in Crochet and his left arm. Eight starts into the season, their 2020-first-round draft pick owns a 5.31 ERA, but his 53 strikeouts (three ..read more

PETERSBURG, Fla. — Chris Flexen stayed on a roll with six innings of one-run ball, and shortstop Paul DeJong – one of five White Sox to collect two hits – led the way with a go-ahead home run and two runs scored in a 4-1 victory against the Rays Wednesday night.

Padres pitcher Dylan Cease, formerly of the White Sox and drafted by the Cubs, struck out 12 in seven shutout innings against the Cubs. Michael Reaves/Getty Cubs hitter Michael Bush wobbled in the batter’s box, a big swing on a back-foot slider throwing him off balance. Then Padres right-hander Dylan Cease came at him with a pitch up and outside. Busch stopped his swing early, but the slider ducked into the strike zone for a called strike three. In the Cubs’ 3-0 loss to the Padres, that’s how Cease’s outing ended. And Busch wasn’t his only strikeout victim – not by a long shot. The Cubs ..read more

PETERSBURG, Fla. — The White Sox acquired minor-league right-hander Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa from the Texas Rangers in exchange for outfielder Robbie Grossman Wednesday. For general manager Chris Getz, it's more than likely just the start of active dealmaking between now and the July 30 trade deadline to restock the farm system and rebuild an organization that has nowhere to go but up after its latest loss, a 5-1 setback Tuesday to the Rays at Tropicana Field. The defeat dropped the Sox to 8-28, the worst ..read more

(Getty Images) Rob Carr/Getty Dylan Cease’s last season with the White Sox was, well, something. Certainly not fun, as Cease told reporters at Wrigley Field Monday. Not when you’re trudging to the cadence of a death march toward 101 losses. Not when you’re pitching to an ERA more than doubled to 4.58 over an American League best 33 starts. “Last year wasn’t enjoyable really in any way,” Cease said. “I just didn’t perform ..read more
