Schriffen's three-year contract expired after the season, and the Sox won't pick up the option year.

John Schriffen is out of the White Sox TV booth. There’s a whole article about it at @chicago.suntimes.com Len & DJ will remain the radio team next season. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

Statement from Brooks Boyer on the White Sox not retaining play-by-play announcer John Schriffen.

The White Sox’ most trusted right-handed outfield bats are entering free agency. Caleb Bonemer, their right-handed power-hitting prospect, is getting a crash course on the outfield in the Arizona Fall League. It is hard to miss the correlation. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

Edgar Quero playing LIDOM was previously reported, as he’s trying to get more at-bats and reps behind the plate after seeing his role diminished this season. But here’s a collection of players in the White Sox organization playing winter ball.

Stop the presses! The jobs of a White Sox coaching staff that oversaw a 24-win improvement and nurtured an offense that led the AL in runs appear to be safe. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

The White Sox were last in MLB in starter innings and spent the postseason running bullpen games, so yeah, Chris Getz wants to upgrade the rotation this winter. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

“I think they’re both going to be starting pitchers at some point in their careers,” Getz said of Grant Taylor and Hagen Smith, “But we haven’t made a decision yet” as far as next year.

“I think it’s very clear that he was hindered and wasn’t himself,” Getz said of Davis Martin and his right calf discomfort.

“We anticipate our major league coaches to return,” said White Sox general manager Chris Getz

Chase Meidroth is an AL Gold Glove finalist at second base. He must defeat Michael Massey and Cole Young in trial by combat…or voting or defensive metrics or whichever

The White Sox offense contained multitudes. It scored the most runs in the AL. It was legitimately good. It also had holes that were exploited as a 2-0 ALDS lead was wrested away by the Guardians. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

“We had a good year, but we wanted better.” chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

After leading the AL in runs per game this season, the Sox offense was silenced with an MLB postseason record 21-strikeout performance against their division rivals.

"The wizard's retired," said Mike Vasil. "He's vanished. The Bat will be back."

The Sox season is over. It ended with a lot of strikeouts. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

White Sox lose to the Guardians, 2-0 A season powered by the most productive offense in the AL ends with a shutout loss, and an MLB nine-inning postseason record 21 strikeouts. Cleveland goes to their second ALCS in the last four years.

Jose Ramirez is--as it was worded to me today at the ballpark--"a bad motherfucker"

Will Venable specifically mentioned Sean Newcomb and Grant Taylor as guys they’ll turn to after Sean Burke tonight. Obvious, but I flew out to Cleveland for the privilege of asking him obvious questions.

The White Sox are hoping for a big effort from Sean Burke, and sitting rookie outfielder Braden Montgomery in Game 5 of the ALDS. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

If you’re horrified by how the White Sox have exhausted their pitching staff, take heart in how thoroughly the Guardians have also exhausted their own. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

When he was working behind an opener, Sean Burke said he dreamed more about being in the World Series than about getting a playoff start. Now he’s getting, like, a really really big playoff start. chicago.suntimes.com/sports/2026/...

Sean Burke will start Game 5 for the White Sox.

The White Sox need to turn the page. Maybe several pages, even. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

If the White Sox move on the ALCS, they'll have to do it by winning Game 5 in Cleveland. Here is James Fegan's report on a disappointing night on the South Side.

Had to write a main story by the print deadline, before the game ended. Said the Sox FO deserves a ton of credit but the playoffs are driving home how much they need more pitching depth. Think it holds up! chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

The White Sox lost. One last showdown with the Guardians Saturday night in Cleveland chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

White Sox lose to the Guardians, 9-5 A six-run sixth swung this series back to Cleveland, with all six Guardians hitters faced by Grant Taylor reaching safely. Jose Ramirez homered and drove in three. It all comes down to Saturday at Progressive Field.

Sean Burke is out in the bullpen by the way

Grant Taylor is warming in the sixth.

Erick Fedde, who I assume was the bulk guy tonight: 3.2 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, BB, K, HR, 37 of 61 pitches for strikes, with 25% called strikes/whiffs. Sox trail 3-2 after Jose Ramirez's two-run shot into his own team's bullpen.

If the White Sox win this blackout game, they’ll get to host some uh…twilight games?

Manager Will Venable is rolling with the team's typical lineup against left-handed starters, which means sitting frequent leadoff man Sam Antonacci

Will Venable thinks his young White Sox team was “a little sped up” playing in front of an electric Rate Field crowd in Game 3. They struck out 19 times and chased out of the zone a bunch, so yeah. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

Will Venable said Anthony Kay and Erick Fedde are candidates for bulk innings today. Grant Taylor expected to be ready for at least four outs, but will be based on how he feels in catch play this afternoon.

Hagen Smith will open tomorrow for the White Sox

The White Sox have another chance to clinch at home tomorrow, even after their worst performance in weeks. They also are drifting further into a longer series against a team with more pitching depth than them, and face Parker Messick tomorrow. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

White Sox pitchers issue 10 walks, hitter strike out 19 times in Game ALDS loss. Pretty sure that's the right count this time. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

I also had a terrible game

It’s the birthday of one of the most intense White Sox fans I know (my mom), so hopefully she’ll accept this piece breaking down Game 3 lineups and pitching plans, headed up by a photo of her favorite player, as a gift. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

The White Sox have a chance to clinch a playoff series in front of their home fans for the first time in 120 years. Bizarre history facts aside, it would be a chance to reward an audience that has been essential to the team taking itself seriously. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

Businesses near Rate Field, like Grandstand, have seen record foot traffic and sales, along with a joyful mob of fans.

There is real talk about the White Sox postseason bullpen use in here, and how it will shift with fewer off days and possibly the ALCS looming ahead, but also I got to use a photo of the 'Celibate for Sean' shirts chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...

Sean Newcomb is starting for the White Sox in Game 3

I don't think Braden Montgomery was referring to the explosion of local media presence at the workout day when he said this, but it would fit if he did. chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/20...
