White Sox land pitching prospect in Hicks-Sandlin swap with Red Sox

White Sox land Domínguez on two-year bullpen upgrade

White Sox Knuckleball Pioneer Wilbur Wood Dies at 84

Wilbur Wood, the Chicago White Sox left-hander famed for his knuckleball, died at 84 in Burlington, Massachusetts.

He finished with 164 victories and, while never a Hall of Famer, remains a durable symbol of the White Sox’s history.
