How did the Chicago White Sox fare with their reimagined fan fest at the Ramova Theatre? As well as you could expect.

Beer and Mark Buehrle have always gone hand in hand. The popular beverage and the former Chicago White Sox left-hander have been linked at the hip in team history since his first major-league win, on July 19,

There were panels, pop-a-shot and a round of drinks via Mark Buehrle over the weekend during SoxFest Live at Ramova Theatre. Fans lined up for photos and autographs with Chicago White Sox players. They also asked front-office personnel about the direction of the organization in the aftermath of a modern-day major-league record 121 losses in 2024 during a lively “State of the Sox” segment

Fans got a chance to meet current players and top prospects who are eager to compete to be a part of a team that can start to make change in the form of more wins under first-year manager Will Venable.

Korey Lee has an interesting perspective regarding the current state of the White Sox. He was behind the plate for 113 games during a 2024 campaign where the South Siders finished 41-121, setting a Modern Era record (since 1901) for most defeats in a season.

The Chicago White Sox invited 24 nonroster players to major-league camp, including top pitching prospects Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith.

Venable is gearing up for his first spring training as a skipper. As SoxFest Live wrapped up Saturday at Ramova Theatre, the attention turns to Feb. 12, when pitchers and catchers report to the team’s camp in Glendale, Ariz. The first full-squad workout is Feb. 17.

Colson Montgomery might be the most closely watched player for the Chicago White Sox when the team begins spring training in Arizona next month.

The White Sox should end the distractions and rebuild by trading Luis Robert Jr before Spring Training starts.

It may not have been the best timing, but at least the team revealed it is planning a 2005 White Sox reunion and a statue for Mark Buehrle.

The Chicago White Sox plan to unveil a statue of Mark Buehrle when they celebrate their 2005 World Series-winning team at Rate Field on July 11.
