It didn't take long for Luis Robert's name to appear on the MLB Pipeline 2017 Prospect Watch list. The Cuban outfielder, who was officially announced as a South Sider on Saturday, is ranked No. 3 in the White Sox farm system and 26th overall. Not bad for a 19-year-old. Robert leaped ahead of 22-year-old pitcher Lucas Giolito -- who is fresh off a Triple-A Charlotte no-hitter -- and sits behind only fellow Cuban Yoan Moncada (No. 1) and flamethrower Michael Kopech (No. 2). In MLB.Com's analysis, they compare the two highly touted Cubans in the White Sox organization saying, "While they play different positions, Robert has a lot of similarities to Moncada. A right-handed hitter, Robert pairs Continue to Article

The White Sox offense waited just a little too long to come to life in the second game of Saturdays doubleheader. The bats were silent for eight innings before a jolt of a ninth-inning rally that saw the South Siders shave a 4-0 gap down to 4-3, only for back-to-back strikeouts to strand the would-be tying run 90 feet away and send the White Sox to a 4-3 loss at Guaranteed Rate Field. Buck Farmer made his first big league start of the 2017 season for the visiting Detroit Tigers, and he kept the White Sox quiet, striking out 11 hitters in his 6.1 shutout innings of work.

Hall of Fame pitcher Jim Bunning, who went on to serve in Congress as a Kentucky politician, died overnight at the age of 85, the Philadelphia Phillies announced Saturday. Bunning, a nine-time All-Star, pitched for the Detroit Tigers, Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates and Los Angeles Dodgers over a 17-year career from 1955 to 1971. Bunning, one of 23 players in major league history to throw a perfect game in the modern era, was selected to the Hall in 1996 by the Veterans Committee. Continue to Article

Danish worked around six walks while pitching five innings in his first big league win, and the Chicago White Sox beat the Detroit Tigers 3-0 on Saturday in the first game of a doubleheader. ''You dream as a kid to pitch in the big leagues and to get my first win on my first career start, it's special,'' Danish said. Danish, who made three relief appearances last year in his first stint in the majors, allowed three hits and struck out six. Continue to Article

When he learned last November that elite talent Luis Robert could be available by June 15, Marco Paddy didn’t hold back: It was time for the White Sox make their move. Much like with Yoan Moncada before, the team’s international scouting director had an extensive history scouting Robert, who on Saturday signed with the White Sox after he received a $26 million signing bonus. After watching him for five years, Paddy believed in Robert enough to recommend the White Sox pay several severe penalties to sign a player the franchise thinks could be an everyday center fielder with power. By signing Robert, 19, the White Sox must not only pay a luxury tax of almost equal value to the bonus, but they’re also unable to sign any international prospect for more than $300,000 in each of the next two classes.
