The Chicago #WhiteSox select Magnolia Heights HS C/INF Cole Prosek with the No. 41 overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft.

The White Sox chose Cholowsky after he agreed to below slot signing in which the Sox would love to use the savings to draft Landon Thome, son of Hall of Famer Jim Thome

Sean Burke’s last 5 starts:

32.0 IP
26 H
6 ER
5 BB
41 K

He looks as dialed in as I’ve ever seen him. The mechanical tweaks have unlocked a whole new gear for him.

I get the confusion behind trading Gonzalez for a comp pick, but the White Sox tried to develop him for 2.5 years with little success. He finally unlocked something this year and took advantage of a hitter-friendly park to get real Minor League production in a short stint before earning his MLB promotion.

Since he’s been up, the batted ball data hasn’t been great. Sure, he’s decent depth. But the max role they could find for him was a platoon 1B.

I don’t think he had as much trade value as Sox fans think he had, and the Sox (who know him better than anyone) saw more value in trading him for a draft pick than keeping him for depth purposes.

I know a lot of you disagree, but I think it makes sense.

Trade news: The Pittsburgh Pirates are acquiring infielder Jacob Gonzalez and left-handed reliever Brandon Eisert from the Chicago White Sox for the 34th pick in tomorrow's draft and left-handed reliever Jaden Woods, sources tell ESPN. Deal is done.

The White Sox have stayed afloat without Munetaka Murakami. Now that he's back, @Ken_Rosenthal explains why they're one of the most interesting teams at the deadline...
