White Sox - Injury Tracker
With Adams coming off TJ in April 2025 is a call up in the works or will he be strictly rehabbing for 2026? The rehab is looking very encouraging so far.

The Athletic player poll, best and worst teams.
Miguel Vargus August of 2024 / Miguel Vargus June of 2026. I would say the 2026 version is all onboard with the White Sox.

I agree with on the minors and the also the absolute epic Dave Wilder international failure.

I believe Grichuk did rave about coming to the Southside. I get the whole pump the brakes, but I just sat through 3 years of misery and I am optimistic. The press is always going to build you up and then tear you down, that what they do.

The Athletic player poll, best and worst teams.
I can remember Lance Lynn and Kenyan Middelton going public about how bad the Sox clubhouse was. The 2026 White Sox are light years away from the Sox teams Lynn & Middleton were on as far as the clubhouse goes. Veteran players acquired this season have stated how awesome the environment is. I think Will Venable is a major reason for the clubhouse change; he sets the tone. As far as players wanting to play for the Sox, I think the path from the minors is wide open for opportunity to advance. Getz has to be given credit for recognizing the negative clubhouse environment and making changes. I don't have a clue about the video room, I hope Getz can be advised of this type of information and make improvements. I believe they installed a high-tech batting machine the players can use during the game. Someone might have more details on this. I think most of the problems with the Sox was the years and years and years of Kenny Williams. And then add Hawk in Jerry's ear and it was like an organization stuck in the 70's.

And that's a gritty White Sox winner!!
Let that sink in, amazing

Montgomery's defense at short...
When Mune comes back I would think Vargas will be at 3rd most of the time with Benny/Grichuk at DH. Acuna will probably get an occasional spot start at SS now and then. Over the years defense has been nerve racking as a fan. At the Metrodome I feared the ball hit to Jose Valentin would cost the Sox the ballgame. Now the Sox are solid up the middle and it is a team strength.

I loved the defense, Colson makes it look so routine, what a stud. Vargas at first was picking it, and Romo throwing out a runner was the cherry on top.

White Sox signing Randal Grichuk to major league deal
Grichuk and Newcomb have been excellent additions to the club.

Thoughts on selling high on Meidroth?
Codi Heuer was looking good in 2020 and was so so with the Cubs in 2021 but then he got hurt. He is currently on Cleveland's 40 man and was on the active roster earlier this month. Craig Kimbrel was lights out with the Cubs but was an epic failure on the Southside.

Psycho Sam
Sam has attitude/personality/grit/determination/toughness/teamwork he wears his emotions on his sleeve. He is a grinder not a dude wearing a suit in a boardroom.

The Bullpen
I think Taylor will be fine in the closer role, Newcomb, and Hudson have been solid, but the Sox need 1 more pitcher that can be used in a hold situation. Dominguez and Hicks should be limited to mop up roles.

A First for 2026 White Sox
The Sunday game in Detroit was a kick to the groin.

Montgomery's defense at short...
If you look at Acuna's splits for the last 7, 14, 28 days he has really turned it around at the plate. As the season continues, he can be a very valuable spot starter, pinch hitter/runner, late inning replacement. and possible trade piece.

It just might be the magic wand that is the difference. Before and after wand sabermetrics is the proof.

I see a SS in Colson's near future, a GG down the line.
