One day after scoring 22 runs, the White Sox proved they can win another way. Behind strong pitching, clutch defense, aggressive baserunning, and Jacob Gonzalez’s first career walk-off hit, Chicago honored the 1983 “Winning Ugly” team with a victory that looked strikingly familiar.
The White Sox turned Guaranteed Rate Field into a fireworks show, erupting for 22 runs in a historic rout of the Royals. Behind another strong outing from rookie David Sandlin and an offensive explosion led by Chicago’s young core, the Sox continued to strengthen the case that this rebuild may be arriving ahead of schedule.
The White Sox are starting to look like a team that can win in multiple ways, using both power and small ball during a strong stretch that has them just 1.5 games back in the AL Central. With production coming from the entire lineup and the pitching staff beginning to settle in, this young core is starting to figure things out and compete consistently.
Motion to Dismiss Filed in Chicago Sky Ownership Dispute
On April 15, 2026, defendants Michael Alter and Alter BB LLC filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to Sections 2-615 and 2-619 of the Illinois Code of Civil Procedure in the ongoing Chicago Sky ownership dispute. It’s a pivotal moment in the case—one that signals a broader effort to reframe the legal battle around contract rights, standing (who is allowed to bring the lawsuit), and the limits of fiduciary claims.
The White Sox have a losing record. This is not a surprising statement about a team that set an MLB record for losses in the modern era with 121 of them in 2024. They followed that up in 2025 with a 60-win, 101-loss season, a slight improvement under then-new manager Will Venable. This year, they might turn a page.
