White Sox fans heading to Rate Field on Saturday will find a bigger setup for the annual White Sox Charities Fall Garage Sale, along with a checkout process meant to move people through faster.
This year’s event stretches from the Rate Field Patio to the Leinenkugel’s Lodge, according to recently released maps. The expanded footprint is designed to handle more fans and ease the long lines that have caused headaches in the past.
The free, public sale runs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. CT on Saturday, November 14, and it will feature thousands of discounted items. Among the merchandise on hand: autographed memorabilia, game-used jerseys, promotional giveaways, and more.
Fans are being told to show up early. Parking lots open at 6 a.m., and lines are expected to start forming well before the sale opens.
Free parking will be available in Lot E off Princeton, and anyone in line by 11 a.m. will be admitted. The sale will stay open until every customer has had a chance to shop.
Entry is through Gate 1, and all purchases must be made by credit card.
All proceeds from the garage sale go to Chicago White Sox Charities and its mission to make Chicago a better place to live, work and play. The organization backs youth education and advancement, youth baseball, children and families in crisis, and individuals battling cancer. To date, White Sox Charities has donated more than $52 million to nonprofit organizations and community programs across the Chicagoland area.

White Sox Offseason Plan Puts The Rotation At The Center
The White Sox are heading into the offseason with a clear priority, and it starts on the mound. Chicago is focusing on strengthening its rotation, with Grant Taylor expected to move from the bullpen into a starting role as the club looks for more stability and upside in the group that will carry it into next season.
GM Chris Getz has also signaled that bullpen additions are not the main focus right now, though low-cost veteran arms could still be brought in for depth. On the position-player side, the White Sox are keeping their infield prospects out of trade talks for the moment, even as division rivals like the Twins and Guardians make their own moves around pitching and staff roles.

White Sox Fans May Need More Patience With Caleb Bonemer
Caleb Bonemer has kept pushing his way into the conversation with a strong 2026 season, and the White Sox have also been expanding his game by getting him work in the outfield in the Arizona Fall League. Even so, Chris Getz made it clear the organization is not planning to rush its top prospect straight into the majors, with Bonemer set to begin the 2027 season at Triple-A Charlotte instead of breaking camp with the big league club.
There is also a broader wrinkle hanging over the timeline. A potential MLB lockout could alter when Bonemer ultimately reaches Chicago, though his status outside the 40-man roster means he would still be eligible to keep playing in the minors if that happens. For a fan base eager to see the next wave arrive, it is another reminder that the path from prospect to regular is often less direct than it looks. [Read more 🡒]
White Sox Have A Sam Antonacci Decision That Could Reshape 2027
Sam Antonacci gave the White Sox plenty to like in 2026, turning in a rookie season that made him one of the more useful young pieces on the roster. He played 140 games, hit .277 with eight home runs and 20 stolen bases, and even drew enough attention to finish ninth in American League Rookie of the Year voting, a strong showing for a player still trying to settle into a long-term defensive home.
The question now is where Chicago wants to use that bat most often in 2027. General manager Chris Getz said Antonacci could see more time in the infield next season, even as he remains in line to start in left field in a possible platoon setup. That kind of flexibility can be a roster asset, but it also speaks to the bigger decision the White Sox have to make about whether Antonaccis future is best served by keeping him in the outfield or moving him closer to the dirt.
