The White Sox are 0-4 against the Red Sox this season, which is bad. They've been outscored 29-4, which is worse.

The draft added some White Sox prospects to Farm Fortnight, and the trade deadline removed some. It should be fairly stable from here on out after Roch Cholowsky debuts.

With Luis Castillo, Huascar Brazobán, Brenton Doyle and Joey Bart, Chris Getz and the White Sox tried committing to 2026 without overcommitting. It's a tricky needle to thread, @jrfegan.soxmachine.com writes, but there is a through line.

White Sox are done. They added a controllable starter, a leverage reliever and a catcher to fill in for Kyle Teel, and shuffled in a new righty CF, so they hit all the major points of their deadline shopping list. Now it’s a question of if they made the right bets.
White Sox are acquiring catcher Joey Bart from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for the recently DFA’d Duncan Davitt. Jeff Passan first reported the Sox getting Bart.

Huascar Brazobán such a late bloomer that he's not on track to reach free agency until after his age-39 season. He's 36 now, and the White Sox are hoping they acquired a reliever in his personal, very specific prime.
