5/03/24	For Chicago White Sox shortstop Paul DeJong, a return to St. Louis brings perspective and ‘a lot of great memories’. ST. LOUIS — Paul DeJong compared Friday’s game to seeing an old friend. After spending parts of seven seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals, the Chicago White Sox shortstop returned to Busch Stadium as a visiting player for the first time. Sitting in the visiting dugout while talking to reporters before the game, DeJong noted, “It’s a different view.” “I’m just happy to be here with this team ...

5/01/24	All was bliss, but only for a while in White Sox' latest loss. On a delightful day for baseball, the White Sox hit a couple of homers and built a lead, all systems go for a rare victory. It felt like welcome to the merry, merry month of May after a horrendous four and a half weeks of .200 baseball. For the 6-25 Sox, though, it was more of the same: A blown lead, walks that killed them and a costly two-run error by shortstop Paul DeJong on a routine ground ball spelling doom in a 10-5 loss to the streaking Twins, who completed their second series sweep of the Sox in 10 days and winning their 10th game in a row. Chris Flexen allowed two runs over five innings, which doesn't even qualify as a quality start (six or more innings, three earned runs or fewer) but for these Sox, it was a “we'll take it” start nonetheless.

4/18/24	You can put it on the board ... no! Numbers don't look so good for White Sox. Paul DeJong's five-hit day just goes to show how quickly things can turn around. “In the beginning when everything is magnified, and on the scoreboard you're seeing .130 and .180, psychologically that affects some guys,” manager Pedro Grifol said.

3/17/24	Chicago White Sox Not Short Of Young Shortstop Prospects. The Chicago White Sox have a new shortstop for 2024 in veteran Paul DeJong. DeJong, 30, signed as a free agent in November for $1.75 million and can earn another $250,000 in performance bonuses. Chances are that if he plays well, he will be peddled off to a contender at the trading deadline by the rebuilding White Sox. Chicago already beefed up its' farm system last week by trading ace pitcher Dylan Cease to the San Diego Padres for three prospects — pitchers Drew Thorpe, 23, and Jairo Iriarte, 22, outfielder Samuel Zavala, 19, — and third-year MLB reliever Steven Wilson.
