Tim Anderson Retires After 10-Season MLB Run with White Sox

Tim Anderson has announced his retirement after a 10-year MLB career, eight seasons with the Chicago White Sox and later stints with the Marlins (2024) and Angels (2025), with no team in 2026. The White Sox will honor him with a Sept. 17 pregame ceremony. A two-time All-Star (2021–22) and 2020 Silver Slugger, he hit .282 with 98 homers, 338 RBIs, 528 runs and 117 stolen bases for Chicago, helping end the team’s 11-year playoff drought in 2020–21. Injuries and DFA-era struggles dimmed his later years, but fans will remember his contributions as he wraps up his MLB journey.

Tim Anderson Retires, Ending a High-Voltage White Sox Era

Tim Anderson announced his retirement from baseball during a Zoom call on the fifth anniversary of the Field of Dreams game. A former AL batting champion and two-time All-Star with the Chicago White Sox, he peaked around 2019–2021 before injuries and a late decline led to brief stretches with the Marlins and Angels. He finished with 991 games, 1,088 hits, 98 homers, and a .276/.307/.407 line (93 wRC+), earning about $43.75 million in his career.

White Sox DFA Wikelman Gonzalez to Clear 40-Man Spot for Prospects

The Chicago White Sox designated pitcher Wikelman Gonzalez for assignment to open a 40-man roster spot for promotions of Hagen Smith and Tanner McDougal. Gonzalez, part of the Garrett Crochet trade from Boston, had a solid MLB debut in 2025 but spent most of 2026 in Triple-A Charlotte with uneven results, including a rough return from the IL. His future hinges on waivers, with other clubs potentially claiming a controllable right-hander with MLB experience.

White Sox catcher Joey Bart fractured the fifth metacarpal in his left hand after being hit by a 98 mph fastball from Erik Miller; he was replaced by Drew Romo and is expected to land on the injured list. Chicago will likely turn to Edgar Quero or other catcher options as Kyle Teel heals, with potential trades or minor-league additions under consideration.

Mariners cash in on Castillo, land Dominguez and promising prospects with payroll relief

Seattle traded Luis Castillo to Chicago for reliever Seranthony Dominguez and a prospect package highlighted by Nolan Jones and Boston Smith, plus cash considerations. The move nets the Mariners roughly $18 million in guaranteed salary relief, boosting offseason flexibility, while adding bullpen depth withDominguez, who has a strong track record but a now-troubling sinker. The prospects provide upside as Seattle pivots toward balancing short-term contention with longer-term development.

White Sox land Castillo in four-player deal to stabilize rotation

The Chicago White Sox acquired Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners in a four-player trade for Nolan Jones, Seranthony Dominguez, and Boston Smith, taking on Castillo’s $22.75 million contract for the next two years with a 2028 option. Castillo, 33, has posted a 5.06 ERA this season but is a proven mid-rotation arm who could help the White Sox in their playoff push. Erick Fedde will move to the bullpen to accommodate the addition, while Seattle may contemplate further rotation moves as the deadline approaches.

White Sox land Castillo in four-player swap with Mariners

The Chicago White Sox acquired right-hander Luis Castillo from the Seattle Mariners in a four-player deal, sending Nolan Jones, Seranthony Domínguez and Boston Smith to Seattle while taking on Castillo’s contract (about $22.75 million over the next two years with a 2028 option). Castillo, having had a down season, is viewed as a solid mid-rotation add who could rebound with a change of scenery, per ESPN’s Jeff Passan.

Mariners deal Castillo to White Sox for Dominguez, Jones, and Smith

The Mariners traded Luis Castillo to the White Sox for reliever Seranthony Dominguez, outfielder Nolan Jones, and catching prospect Boston Smith. Castillo’s extension runs through 2027 with a vesting option for 2028, and Chicago will absorb the remaining deal; Seattle takes on Dominguez’s salary for the next year (with a mutual option for 2028). The move is heavy on depth and salary relief rather than top-end upside, clearing the rotation logjam while giving Chicago a chance to contend in a weak AL Central.

Sox put Teel on IL, recall Quero to bolster catching depth

The Chicago White Sox placed catcher Kyle Teel on the injured list with a left ankle sprain and recalled Edgar Quero to back up the catching duties; Teel exited the latest game with a non-contact ankle injury after attempting to dive back to tag a runner. Teel has dealt with prior injuries this season and is hitting .190 with two homers, contributing to weak catching production for the Sox. If the absence is longer, Chicago could lean on Quero/Romo for catching and may explore external help before the trade deadline.

Cholowsky inks record-setting $10.4M with White Sox, leaps past draft bonus mark

No. 1 overall pick Roch Cholowsky signed with the Chicago White Sox for a $10.4 million bonus, setting a new MLB record for a draft signing bonus but coming in below the slot value of about $11.35 million. The UCLA star hit 21 home runs with a .320/.452/.636 line as a 2026 junior and earns high marks for hit and power, with solid defense; Chicago views him as a long‑term piece behind shortstop Colson Montgomery after passing on Grady Emerson.
