Your Morning Phil: Sanchez, Porcello, Dickey
Talking baseball while hoping Alshon Jeffery learns to use his size: 1. Yes, the Cubs came close to landing a big fish last week. But now that Anibal Sanchez has re-enlisted with the Tigers, thanks to Mike Ilitch finding a spare $32 million during the...

Your Morning Phil: Liriano trade, Gregg, Dunn
Talking baseball while hoping Kirk Hinrich gets well soon: 1. At some point every July, I make this point: The odds are always with the teams selling talent at the trade deadline, not the ones giving up prospects to try to meet short-term opportunities....

Sox trade for Liriano shores up rotation
You have to hand it to Kenny Williams. While the White Sox general manager didn't land Zack Greinke, like the Angels' Jerry DiPoto, who did, he has found ways to improve on the fly. Williams filled major holes when he traded for Kevin Youkilis and Brett...Tags: Pedro Hernandez, Robin Ventura, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Chicago White Sox, Baseball

Pressure on Rangers and Washington

Sox MVP: Williams
Barring some miraculous turn of events this weekend, these are our final chances to reflect on the improbable 2012 White Sox. Much of the audience already has headed for the exits, so I'm going to roll closing credits now and avoid an empty theater next...

It's fight to finish (last)

Keppinger deal indication Hahn will be patient with young talent
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — With midseason approaching last year, the White Sox traded for Kevin Youkilis.

A long way from perfect, Humber starts over
KISSIMMEE, Fla. – Philip Humber knows perfection eludes him, as it does everyone. Humber has been starting his days in Florida by pulling out his Kindle, burying his head in his locker and reading "The Cure,'' by John S. Lynch. It's a novel...

White Sox need more starts like Quintana's

Not the end of the world, but Sox fatalists can see it from here

Seeing Yankee holes and Sox hope
Maybe it’s me, and maybe I’m alone on this one, but sorry, I’m not impressed with the Yankees. They came to the South Side this week. They brought the best record in the American League. They had hit the most homers. Did all of them...
