White Sox News

Munetaka Murakami continues to light up the scoreboard, smashing three home runs over the weekend to bring his tally to eight in just his first season, tying him for third-most in the league. This kind of explosive power is a breath of fresh air for the White Sox, who currently sit at 8-14, just trying to find their footing. Meanwhile, Garrett Crochet's recent struggles are raising eyebrows, as fans ponder what’s happening with a key piece of the bullpen. Off the field, whispers about a potential work stoppage loom, adding an unsettling backdrop to the team's lukewarm performance. The Sox’s offense has shown signs of life at 5.6 runs per game this week, but can they get the pitching to match? With injuries piling up, the pressure is on.

How worried are you about an MLB work stoppage, and who will you most blame?

Counsell: MLB rule in place for Ohtani 'bizarre'
