When White Sox front office types only express muted enthusiasm for their second half play, it's probably because of all the positions that remained unsettled, which @jrfegan.soxmachine.com digs into today.

TVOTRATR. (The extra ATR is for At The Ryman.)

The White Sox finished 10 games better at home this season, no thanks to this one. But Korey Lee played left, and that was a trip.

Amusing to me, I've earned the reputation that when Brian Bannister finished his scrum the other day, White Sox PR was like "I bet Fegan has more questions" So here's a sliver of the additional half hour we chatted for, in article form. soxmachine.com/2025/09/bria...

Mike Tauchman's best catch of the night only managed to record the final out of the White Sox's worst inning of the evening.

The 2025 Rockies probably should've lost more games than the 2024 White Sox, but last year's Sox just that that certain je ne sais quoi (which is French for "Pedro Grifol"). soxmachine.com/2025/09/the-...

And the Birmingham Barons advance to the Southern League Championship Series.

On the most recent Sox Machine Podcast, I had a hunch that the White Sox could end their losing streak because it's no match for Dylan Cease's ability to frustrate Padres fans. This one actually paid off.

It's a White Sox Business kind of morning, in which we talk about the Chicago Fire taking the next step in their plan for a soccer-specific stadium in The 78, and John Schriffen's future in the broadcast booth.

With the Birmingham Barons facing elimination, Hagen Smith picked a good time to pitch like a fifth-overall pick.

Caleb Bonemer gave the White Sox farm system a minor league MVP this year, joining an elite circle that includes Marcus Semien, Magglio Ordóñez, and John Cena's grandpa.

Chris Getz had more non-answers than answers, but if you can derive meaning from the evasive maneuvers, then Will Venable's coaching staff figures to look a little different next year.

It's tough to do a year in review for a guy whose production won't be sensed until, like, 2030, but @jrfegan.soxmachine.com relays what's going on with the White Sox's international operations under David Keller in his first full season.

Usually the Birmingham Barons have reason to feel confident about a 6-0 lead through five innings, but Game 1 of the Southern League Division Series was a different story.

The White Sox keep losing but there are some solid frustrated quips from the players in this recap

The White Sox have now lost five straight games, but at least the Orioles had the decency to make this one entertaining on the White Sox's behalf.

The White Sox will face Kyle Bradish for the first time since May 2024, when his seven no-hit innings caused Pedro Grifol to respond in a way he'd soon regret.

As one-run losses go, this one was one-run-lossier than most.

Bring back station wagons.

Sean Burke is never going to throw tons of changeups, but he tells @jrfegan.soxmachine.com the key is being able to throw one when one will do.

Will the White Sox average at least one run a game at Progressive Field this year? Find out Sunday.

"At least Tanner Bibee didn't throw a Maddux" is the best thing you can say about the White Sox's performance at the plate tonight. soxmachine.com/2025/09/guar...

A valued subscriber asked what the White Sox 40-man roster might look like when having to accommodate the pitchers on the 60-day IL and the prospects requiring protection from the Rule 5 draft. Long story short, there's plenty of room at the inn.

At @soxmachine.com we're crazy enough to write about players in High-A even after their season is over. And White Sox 3rd-rounder Kyle Lodise is apparently willing to break down his swing to a reporter even after his season is over. It's a match made...over the phone soxmachine.com/2025/09/whit...

The White Sox played an insane game that was also decided in the second inning. soxmachine.com/2025/09/whit...

Miguel Vargas has a stuffed dog in his locker that has been set to play a recording of Vargas barking in the dugout, which he’s done to celebrate homers. Also, his hand felt fine in his first game back off the IL. Grant Taylor will need an MRI for his groin strain. But please, focus on the dog.

How can you decide which White Sox catcher is your favorite when they're both raking, and their respective defensive weakness is the other's strength? @jrfegan.soxmachine.com investigates.

As the Birmingham Barons prepare for the Southern League playoffs, they received Winston-Salem's best basestealer, tallest reliever and shortest pitcher.

Sean Burke has been recalled and will start for the White Sox tonight. Dan Altavilla was designated for assignment, making room on the active roster.

The White Sox traded Tristan Gray for cash considerations in July, and paid for it in September. soxmachine.com/2025/09/rays...

It's not as easy to grasp in real time as "Who will lead the White Sox in homers?, but "Who will lead the White Sox in WAR?" is a question worth weighing for the ramifications beyond 2025.

White Sox say prospect Braden Montgomery is likely to miss the rest of the season and postseason with Double-A Birmingham after suffering a "small" fracture in his right foot from a HBP on Saturday. The team still expects him to recover in time to play in the Arizona Fall League.

Two pitches appear to be enough for Jordan Leasure, as @jrfegan.soxmachine.com explains how he's starting to live up to the high-leverage hopes the White Sox placed upon him.

Emotionally divesting from the Bears has been the best gift I've ever given to myself.

And since the White Sox are off today, @jrfegan.soxmachine.com and I emptied the #POSox mailbag.

Winston-Salem and Kannapolis played their final games of the season on Sunday, but I was more distracted by Yolmer Sánchez being asked to record a save in a one-run game, and it going about as well as you'd expect.

The White Sox won a September series in Detroit for the second straight season, and the Tigers weren't hung over this time.

Duncan Davitt, who came to the White Sox in the Adrian Houser trade and is starting for Charlotte today, reports on his own progress with his hometown newspaper in Iowa.

There are less dignified ways for a six-game hitting streak to end.
