Always be buying is a better motto if you like winning

Maybe they plan to trade Rutchman?

Five factoids today: August 1, 1901 – In 4-0 masterpiece hosting Detroit, James “Nixey” Callahan tossed the first one-hitter in White Sox history. Only his Tigers counterpart, Joe Yeager, had a safety. Callahan himself had two hits in his win, while the White Sox also tapped out three triples and left fielder Herm McFarland went 3 for 4 with three singles. August 1, 1982 - With the White Sox up, 3-0, in the top of the sixth at Comiskey Park, Ron LeFlore committed the worst error of his career. Catcher Gary Allenson lofted a soft liner to center field, and the ball struck LeFlore on his forehead as he drifted back to make the catch. A crazy bounce aided Allenson’s romp around the bases for an inside the park home run, to trim starter Jerry Koosman’s lead to 3-1. LeFlore, however, had a great day at the plate, leading off and going 2-for-3 with two RBIs. It was his double in the third inning that game the White Sox a 1-0 lead that they would not relinquish. August 1, 1983 - On a nationally televised ABC Monday Night Baseball game, Greg Luzinski drove a Ray Fontenot pitch over the left field roof at Comiskey Park. It was “the Bull’s” second roof shot in 1983 and the first home run ever allowed by Fontenot. The Sox would win the game 4-1 over the Yankees starting a torrid stretch where they went an incredible 46-15 to close out the regular season and finish with 99 wins. August 1, 2003 - The Sox won their 8,000 game in franchise history as they buried the Mariners in Seattle 12-1. Carl Everett had a huge evening going 2 for 4 with five RBI’s including a three-run home run off future teammate Freddy Garcia. August 1, 2005 - Pitcher Mark Buehrle’s streak of 49 straight starts with six or more innings ended when he was thrown out of a game in Baltimore by umpire Brian Gorman. Sox TV announcer Ken “Hawk” Harrelson became extremely upset in the TV booth “You’ve GOT to be kidding me!” over it. Buehrle got tossed without warning for hitting B.J. Surhoff after White Sox hitters were struck earlier in the game. The Sox would get the last laugh however winning the game 6-3 and sweeping the four-game series increasing their divisional lead to 15 games over the Indians.

Met him twice but only in passing.

The first baseman is a big boy. I don't really know why Sandlin in Charlotte. They're short a starter (of sorts) and he's pitched well. I'm not so sure any Peralta or Robby Ray that they seem intent on bringing in is much better. But if Sandlin is a good player to trade, if they must. Looks like they really intend on jamming H Smith into the pen; but I'm not sure who he'd push out. Richards is a soft tosser, but Venable uses him a lot (and like everyone else, he's been good since the all star break0.

I'm sure Getz is ready to accept that nice prospect for Jon Cannon. He's practicing saying yes in front of a mirror.

He's pissed at being passed over in the Adam Eaton trade.

We’re better than the Orioles now. Like two years later.

That sounds like an 8-0 White Sox victory. Schultz goes 5.

Hoping it went well!

Oh I meant here. As long as he never returns.

FanGraphs' model hates us because they think our pitching sucks. And it probably does, but it's held up so far.

With the way Alonso reacted, it looked like Kremer was asking him if he's blind.

I just popped over to their board and hes still going

That dude is long gone

As long as it isn’t Sports Fan, we can take their word for it

The Twins were able to not just agree on the framework, but finalize the trade for their negative WAR pitcher. Goody for them. For the Orioles, a nice example of Always Be Selling. If someone wants to give you a nice prospect for Kremer, you take it. Nuance wins.

Was waiting for @caulfield12 to post it, but with the Sox win and the Guardians loss today the Sox are now the favorites for the first time all year to win the central via FG https://www.fangraphs.com/standings/playoff-odds/fg/div

With Dean Kremer I don’t think it was so innocent. Atleast not according to Os fans.

Bullpen? Fedde says to heck with that. Fedde is one cool White Sox. Pitches great for the Sox and only the Sox.

Sooo he’s asking him if the sun’s in his eyes, right? Why is that interesting?

Fewer pitches 98+ so far this year than he had through 3 starts in 2024 and 5 starts in 2025. Seems like there's something physical sapping his velo.

I know that Kremer has control beyond this year, but this seems like a lot to give up for someone with a ERA north of 6. Reyes is a top 10 prospect in the Twins system.
