Veteran Outfielder Chose White Sox Over Padres Because of Money When you've made $35.4 million in your career, you can afford to say the quiet part out loud. Author: J.P. Hoornstra Apr 27, 2024 Tommy Pham said the quiet part out loud. On the day he arrived in his new clubhouse with the Chicago White Sox, the veteran outfielder was asked about the decision that ended his free agency. While he acknowledged he received an offer from the San Diego Padres, Pham said he chose the White Sox for a simple reason: money . The state income tax in Illinois is calculated at a flat rate of 4.95 percent. California features the country's highest marginal tax rate — 13.3 percent — for its highest-income earners.

The White Sox' 3-22 start could not have been what general manager Chris Getz imagined when he was hired in August. The Sox are below average in all three phases of baseball. This season has been a disaster, and manager Pedro Grifol's job security is the topic of conversation after his 64-123 start to his White Sox tenure. The club's focus has to remain on player development and Grifol is partly responsible for that department.

Jake Mintz & Jordan Shusterman talk about the absolute mess of a season from the Houston Astros thus far and where the team has gone wrong, as well as give their good, bad and Uggla from this week & preview this weekend in baseball.

As injuries have mounted, the Cubs find a way to keep rolling. Their 3-1 victory Thursday, featuring Pete Crow-Armstrong’s first big-league hit — a two-run, go-ahead homer in the sixth inning — completed a three-game sweep of the Houston Astros and ended the homestand on a high note as the Cubs head to Boston and New York for a seven-game trip. For the second consecutive year, the White Sox ...

It was a sleepy afternoon game against a historically bad opponent, a home run-derby-style finale to a four-game sweep that was only briefly in doubt. But for Simeon Woods Richardson, the Twins' 6-3 Twins victory over the White Sox on Thursday at Target Field was something much more memorable: a gateway, finally, to the major leagues. Edouard Julien homered twice, Ryan Jeffers, Carlos Santana ...

Fantasy baseball analyst Fred Zinkie offers multiple key pieces of strategy for the final days of Week 4.

Purdue got an opportunity to open its series against Northwestern at Wrigley Field. More importantly, the Boilermakers are in the Big Ten title hunt.

MINNEAPOLIS — Garrett Crochet’s second inning Wednesday against the Minnesota Twins began with a walk. “Starting an inning with a leadoff walk, you’re expecting to get out of the inning having given up at least one (run),” the Chicago White Sox starter said. “So, that’s just never a good start.” Crochet allowed four runs in the inning — including a three-run home run by Willi Castro — in a 6-3 ...

MINNEAPOLIS — Chicago White Sox hitting coach Marcus Thames texted first baseman Andrew Vaughn on Wednesday morning. “Let’s think about the positives that happened yesterday,” Thames said of the first baseman, who entered the day hitting .165. “He did hit the ball hard, so we have to keep him as positive as possible. “He hasn’t been in a rut like this since he’s been in the big leagues. It ...

It might have been a rare alignment of the planets that led to the Big Five executives of Chicago’s legacy teams addressing the media at the same time.

You never know what it will take to turn around a game, to wake up the offense, to pull off a dramatic walk-off victory.

Byron Buxton led off the ninth by smashing the hardest-hit ball of the night and his hardest of the season, 110.5-mph off his bat, just ...
