The All-Star break is a good time to solicit #POSox questions, and @jrfegan.soxmachine.com and I took stabs at answering the ones we received. soxmachine.com/2026/07/p-o-...

For at least two reasons, the specifics of the 2027 White Sox schedule shouldn't weigh too heavily on anybody's minds. Except there's nothing else to do until Friday, so let's have at it.

Chris Getz has a tendency to misspeak, even when making one of the biggest decisions of his GM career to date, but with his team in first place, it's the sort of thing that transforms from "concerning" to "endearing."

Even if Miguel Vargas remained the only White Sox representative at the All-Star Game, the stories he generated still would've made it worth @jrfegan.soxmachine.com's while.

White Sox say they’re going with
 
LHP Anthony Kay
RHP Davis Martin
RHP Sean Burke
RHP Erick Fedde
LHP Noah Schultz coming out of the All-Star break

Miguel Vargas got traded to the White Sox in 2024 and posted a .387 OPS the rest of the year. Last night he was taking selfies with David Ortiz after homering in the All-Star Game “Now for me coming here and having this moment here, is unbelievable” soxmachine.com/2026/07/migu...

New @soxmachine.com Video Short presented by Ankin Law Miguel Vargas was asked at the All-Star Game what's been the White Sox biggest change in 2026? youtube.com/shorts/HsyJA...

Does anyone have a feature story about Miguel Vargas on hand for this moment? soxmachine.com/2026/07/amid...

/holding finger to earpiece

So far my All-Star MVP is the dude running the coffee bar in the American League clubhouse this week. I don’t know your name, but I love you.

Munetaka Murakami wants to be with the White Sox long-term, the craziest week of Tristan Peters' life continues apace, and Miguel Vargas shares his All-Star honors with his proud parents soxmachine.com/2026/07/all-...

Few sentences could sum up the sudden ascension of the White Sox as well as "Kevin Durant just dapped up Tristan Peters"

Your support of @SoxMachine allows me to be around the team enough to get these sorts of “YOU know exactly what I’m referring to, man” answers from White Sox players soxmachine.com/2026/07/amid...

Munetaka Murakami said he’s not thinking or talking specifics about contract extensions right now, but affirmed that he would like to stay with the White Sox long-term

There are always plenty of Dodgers at the All-Star Game, and getting Dodgers to rhapsodize about Miguel Vargas ain't hard. "Now you can see the player he is, and we all thought he was going to be." soxmachine.com/2026/07/amid...

If this is my last post it’s because Willson Contreras killed me with a foul ball

Miguel Vargas thinks Munetaka Murakami will win the HR Derby, but he's giving himself a lot of responsibilities for it. "I need to make sure his water temperature and Gatorade temperature is fine, and that the towels are dry enough for him." soxmachine.com/2026/07/preg...

The only way they could Netlfix-ify this event more is if they announce next season’s version is canceled minutes after this one ends.

The All-Star Game auxiliary press box is lowkey a great angle for the HR Derby, but also those grainy faraway color coordinated dots are Munetaka Murakami and Kenzo Yagi

And just like that, the draft is over. Here's a review of what the White Sox did with the last 16 picks, even if they're only likely to sign 15 of them. soxmachine.com/2026/07/whit...

Diving into the mind of a self-scrutinizing perfectionist who can never take a moment to bask in his own accomplishments, lest he lose focus for a second on his next goal. Introspection? What? Me? No, never. This article is about top White Sox prospect Caleb Bonemer soxmachine.com/2026/07/a-fu...

We have @jrfegan.soxmachine.com in Philadelphia for All-Star festivities, and here he is, talking to Caleb Bonemer about the Futures Game some, but more about his swing.

An ideal first inning. An ideal form of Noah Schultz. An ideal way for the White Sox to end the first half.

Caleb Bonemer lost an ABS challenge in the Futures Game. He's ready

Rough weekend of name pronunciations continues for the White Sox

Hello from Philadelphia, where I’ve already talked Caleb Bonemer’s ear off about his contact point.

Why is this man smiling? @jrfegan.soxmachine.com investigates. soxmachine.com/2026/07/what...

New @SoxMachine.com Video Feature presented by Ankin Law General manager Chris Getz spoke about how the team decided that Roch Cholowsky was the right choice to draft first overall. Cholowsky shares why after visiting Chicago, he felt at home. Video: youtu.be/WsYA1NYdzV8?...

"To be able to bring in Landon [Thome], one of the top left-handed high school bats, in addition to Prosek as well, we felt they were the best high school left-handed bats remaining in the draft." Here's pieces on both soxmachine.com/2026/07/whit... soxmachine.com/2026/07/whit...

"At the end of the day, we were most comfortable with Roch Cholowsky with our first pick regardless of the signing bonus," said Chris Getz, who also spoke about the first overall pick as a hitter he feels the White Sox can improve. soxmachine.com/2026/07/roch...

The White Sox also played a game today, and even won it, albeit in a way that didn't draw too much attention from the draft. "At the end of the year, they don’t ask how you win the games. It’s all about your record." soxmachine.com/2026/07/whit...

It’s #LeuryLegend for a reason

And now back to the players who aren't officially part of the White Sox yet, this one second-round pick Cole Prosek.

How often is a team's second MLB draft pick as predictable as its first? Because the White Sox drafting Landon Thome could have been penciled in months ago.

Watching @josh.soxmachine.com pour his heart and soul into learning the 2026 draft class for months, only for the White Sox to pick the two guys we thought they'd get a year ago is exactly my brand of farcical humor, so great day so far. Anyway, his stream is going www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJSm...

Roch Cholowsky said he heard from his agent earlier today that they were able to come to an agreement with the White Sox. He detailed a very long lunch he had with Ryan Fuller during the pre-draft process where it sounds like they connected on how they want to proceed.

Oh yeah there's also a game today, and a new White Sox player on the All-Star team soxmachine.com/2026/07/preg...

The White Sox have selected Roch Cholowsky with the first overall pick. No truth to the rumor that @soxmachine.com pre-wrote this article in December. soxmachine.com/2026/07/roch...

Welcome to the longest day of my professional life! soxmachine.com/2026/07/2026...

About last night: Tristan Peters hit for the cycle ... soxmachine.com/2026/07/whit...

Tyler Schweitzer was recalled to take Brandon Eisert’s vacated roster spot.

I'm guessing the White Sox didn't intend to steal some of the spotlight with a trade, but lest we get too far into the Jacob Gonzalez stuff too soon, Tristan Peters hit for the cycle tonight. soxmachine.com/2026/07/whit...

Credit to Jacob Gonzalez for reinventing himself so successfully that a trade involving him feels fairly risky.

Munetaka Murakami is back and he's already helping the White Sox win games...by doing the Macarena with Tristan Peters? "His hips got loose and that’s why he was able to get that cycle today." soxmachine.com/2026/07/whit...

Can confirm what Jeff Passan reported while Munetaka Murakami was giving credit to Jacob Gonzalez for filling in for him during his postgame presser: Gonzalez and Brandon Eisert to the Pirates for the 34th overall pick and Jaden Woods

Tristan Peters, acquired from the Rays for cash after being designated for assignment over the winter, has hit for the cycle
