Its Tuesday, June 10 and the White Sox (22-44) are in Houston to begin a three-game series against the Astros (36-29). Shane Smith is slated to take the mound for Chicago against Lance McCullers for Houston.

Following a historic 41-121 season in which the Chicago White Sox lost the most games ever in a single year, change was needed. This included trading away their ace of the season, Garrett Crochet, to the Boston Red Sox for a multitude of prospects.

Shane Smith allowed three hits in 5 1/3 scoreless innings for the Chicago White Sox in an 8-1 victory against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday at Rate Field.

Billionaire Justin Ishbia could take over controlling interest of the Chicago White Sox as early as 2029, or as late as 2034. But general manager Chris Getz’s day-to-day operations remain with Jerry Reinsdorf.
