Latest on @SoxMachine.com From @jrfegan.soxmachine.com - Luis Robert Jr. is returning to the Chicago White Sox in 2026 and is determined to get himself right. soxmachine.com/2025/11/in-s...

This is quite something here in Tahoe. Team Allen is beating Team Whyte -- ranked fifth in the world -- 5-2 as they play in the 4th end. Middaugh, Morris, Smith and Allen making everything. Watch live right here: watch.rockchannel.com/media/DIfTRpQQ

White Sox to hire Derek Shomon as hitting coach, Zach Bove as pitching coach soxmachine.com/2025/11/whit...

James names names.

The White Sox picked up Luis Robert Jr.'s $20 million club option, probably because the sunk cost fallacy can't do a lot of damage this year.

With 10 days left in the Arizona Fall League season, here's a look at how White Sox prospects are faring. The hitters were already ahead of the pitchers, and with Braden Montgomery aboard, they're running up the score.

It was cool seeing a baseball game that impressed its gravity upon everybody who watched it, no matter how much previous interest they had in the sport.

Did not expect one of the best paragraphs I’d read about baseball would come from an Irish newspaper www.irishexaminer.com/sport-column...

Needed that one to go 11.

This postseason dies as it lived: featuring Louis Varland.

YES

Defenses are too good (compliment).

Picturing a sideline reporter interviewing a head coach while his team is driving down the field. Doesn't really seem to respect the profession of manager.

Inconvenience No. 1: I didn't consider the possibility of The Beths overlapping with Game 7 of the World Series, so it'd be great if this one could look settled by the sixth or so.

The White Sox still haven't announced the additions of major league coaches, but they have made a couple of additions to their player development staff, so that's something.

A freshly minted 5-year-old.

It's probably impossible to identify any Will Venable managerial tendencies from his first year with the White Sox given the quality of the team, but we may as well set a baseline to track how he evolves as his roster (hopefully) improves.

The guy who ended a 6-hour, 39-minute game being named "Freeman"? A little on the nose.

Will Klein, World Series MVP.

17th inning you gotta drink the grossest beer from the back of the fridge. A cucumber stout. A watermelon abomination.

Whose parents were scheduled for postgame treats?

Will Klein is coming up Will Groß.

When the ABS challenge system is implemented, I wonder if it's going to change the idea of "Can't leave it up to the umpire."

Good morning, White Sox fans. NEW @SoxMachine.com Podcast presented by Ankin Law Our final 2025 Review position group is the infield. Trying to figure out what the plan is for 1B and 3B, and what Chase Meidroth has to accomplish to claim 2B long term soxmachine.com/2025/10/podc...

Tyler Davis hit over .400 as the starting first baseman in his last year at Sam Houston State. Two years later, the White Sox have him throwing a pretty hoppy 95 mph fastball in their farm system now. soxmachine.com/2025/10/from...

College Gameday at Vandy. M-I-Z.

Now that White Sox prospect Braden Montgomery is active once more in the Arizona Fall League, it felt time to write up this look into his modus operandi provided by talking to his longtime personal hitting coach. soxmachine.com/2025/10/brad...

Between the full season he played and the minor foot fracture he suffered at the end of it, Braden Montgomery didn't need these additional reps in the Arizona Fall League, but from @jrfegan.soxmachine.com's account, it sounds like he's a baseball player who wants to play the most baseball possible.

Fun article for White Sox fans who hate the White Sox. Doesn’t even harken back to the first Rick Hahn rebuild where he also half-assed the free agent market, but still gets the blood boiling.

Nothing illustrate the meaning of "the poor man always pays twice" like the White Sox and right field, like when they ignored George Springer in a buyer's market, only to panic and sign Andrew Benintendi two years later.

One of the perks of being a @SoxMachine.com subscriber is submitting #POSox questions to Jim Margalus and @jrfegan.soxmachine.com, and they in return give thoughtful answers. Here's the latest edition: soxmachine.com/2025/10/p-o-...

Good morning, White Sox fans NEW @soxmachine.com Podcast as we take a look at the White Sox starting pitching before the offseason begins. Which internal options could play a role, and are there any free agent options that fit with the Sox spending habits? soxmachine.com/2025/10/podc...

On @SoxMachine.com - Jim Margalus highlights the 2025 Chicago White Sox signature wins. Which I'm assuming was a lot more fun exercise than last year's edition. soxmachine.com/2025/10/the-...

In the land of the wild, the guy who can record strikeouts is king. At least that's how it's working out for Hagen Smith in the Arizona Fall League so far.

Today on @soxmachine.com Jim Margalus wrote about the Chicago White Sox longest, and most extreme, home runs in 2025. You'll never guess who hit the longest home run. soxmachine.com/2025/10/the-...

Knowing full well the "terrifying truth/dingers" line hits a little too close to home these days, here's a review of the year in extreme White Sox home runs.

Just when I think I've gotten used to the pope being a White Sox fan, he goes and teases a Cubs fan from the Popemobile.

"Please, that's my father's name."

Good morning, White Sox fans. NEW @soxmachine.com Podcast presented by Ankin Law We begin our reviews by position group to start thinking about the Offseason Plan Project. Today, it's the bullpen and what you should think about when targeting relievers. soxmachine.com/2025/10/podc...

As much as I like ranking White Sox prospects with @jrfegan.soxmachine.com before the season, it's even more fun to revisit those lists and explore correct hunches and wrong reads.

I like that the 2005 White Sox are always going to be the "since the [team]" of this particular stat.
