The Chicago White Sox had a nice win over the Cincinnati Reds yesterday, beating them by a score of 7-3. The White Sox have had an okay spring, going 6-13 in the Cactus League, which is tied for last with the San Diego Padres and Seattle Mariners.
On this day 54 years ago, the White Sox made a small, but sneaky-good swap with the Angels for Steve Kealey.

Veteran, on the bubble, has a Cactus League game for the ages in 7-3 romp over Cincy
I had been on record saying that this White Sox team will lose at least 120 games in 2025.
However, that was before February 9, when Brandon Drury joined the club on a minor league deal.
Since then, Drury has menacingly mashed as a...

It would definitely make for an interesting lineup
It’s well established that you should never make much of anything of teams’ spring training records, though the White Sox 5-13-1 reecord may prove a little too close to how things will go when games count. Each team has a different way of looking at exhibition games, using, for example, a different balance of major and minor league players.
Likewise, it’s...
The Chicago White Sox have a few positional battles happening in camp that could come down to the wire. The one battle going on in camp that will figure to be a tough decision to make is the catching position, which has two players vying for the starting job for this season.

The Brewers win, 9-3, in a rainy romp trimmed to eight frames
The Milwaukee Brewers put the new guy right to work.
Chicago’s latest signing, Travis Jankowski, started the game with two doubles his way, one from Brice Turang and another from Jackson Chourio, with Chourio’s an RBI. Garrett Mitchell sent one to Jankowski right after that, but lined out. And with...

Dylan Cease gets shipped west
?1934All-time White Sox playing and managing great Fielder Jones died, at age 62, in Portland. His 32.0 WAR for the club ranks 10th all-time among hitters and places him as the best center fielder in White Sox history. Jones was staggeringly good with the White Sox, never dipping below a 3.1 WAR season and leaving the game after a 1908 season that saw him tally 4.7...

Chicago pitchers dominate while offense falls short yet again
Pitching was the story of today’s Spring Training tale, and it will likely be the narrative all season long. The White Sox hurlers held the Angels hitless through four and impressively demonstrated the depth of the system’s arms.
On the other hand, the offense is about as dry as the Arizona desert. It wasn’t for lack of...
The Chicago White Sox have been hit by the injury bug this spring and needed to add to their depth to compensate for the loss. Recently, the White Sox signed outfielder Travis Jankowski to a minor-league deal with an invite to spring training to possibly be a backup outfielder on the Sox bench.

Another day of bargain bin ball in the Arizona sun
Today, Chicago (5-12) takes on the Los Angeles Angels (8-9) at Camelback Ranch in Glendale, Arizona. While the White Sox roster and staff have experienced an almost complete overhaul, as much as things change, they still stay the same. The club hasn’t managed to string together two consecutive wins. It won’t happen today either because they...
Former Chicago Cubs outfielder Travis Jankowski has signed a minor league contract with the Chicago White Sox. It’s currently unclear when the Cubs released Jankowski, but he was redirected to the Minor League camp on Sunday.

Where was this guy when he wore our uniform?
A battle of the two teams with the worst Cactus League records almost ended in a tie. Instead, the White Sox and Padres are now tied in the cellar at 5-12, with the two biggest factors in the outcome of both recent denizens of the South Side.
