CHICAGO (AP) — White Sox general manager Chris Getz mentioned the talent in the pipeline and insisted better days are coming. He just has one message for Chicago's frustrated fans: Be patient. Considering the White Sox set a modern major league record ...

Venable and White Sox General Manager Chris Getz held a pre-Sox Fest pow-wow Thursday afternoon, before the festivities officially kick off on Friday.

The White Sox have a goal to win games, just like Major League Baseball’s other 29 teams. Coming off a 121-loss season, though, their success in 2025 ultimately might not be measured in finishing .500 or even winning 70-to-75 times.

It's now being called "SoxFest Live" due to its new live format, which is meant to reimagine the traditional fan convention as an immersive fan experience.

Chicago White Sox following SoxFest Live, including shortstop Colson Montgomery’s mindset as he prepares to compete for a roster spot this spring.

Colson Montgomery might be the most closely watched player for the Chicago White Sox when the team begins spring training in Arizona next month.

The Chicago White Sox invited 24 nonroster players to major-league camp, including top pitching prospects Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith.

As it stands, Brooks Baldwin is projected to serve as Chicago's Opening Day shortstop. The 24-year-old made his big league debut in 2024 – just two years after he went in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB Draft – and he wound up batting .211 with a .566 OPS and 0.0 WAR in 33 games.

The Chicago White Sox opened SoxFest with a press conference with general manager Chris Getz and first-year manager Will Venable. The two answered questions on Thursday afternoon.
