Young Core Takes Center Stage
The 2026 Spring Training will serve as a critical evaluation period for the White Sox’s emerging young talent. Several players who made their MLB debuts in 2025 will look to build on their initial big-league experience, including:
Colson Montgomery – Top infield prospect
Kyle Teel – Catcher
Chase Meidroth – Versatile infielder
Edgar Quero – Catcher
Shane Smith – Starting Pitcher
Mike Vasil – Relief pitcher
Top Prospects on Display
According to current MLB Pipeline rankings, the White Sox could showcase five top-100 prospects during spring training:
Braden Montgomery (No. 35)
Noah Schultz (No. 40)
Billy Carlson (No. 71)
Caleb Bonemer (No. 73)
Hagen Smith (No. 88)
This concentration of high-level talent reflects the organization’s successful rebuilding efforts and provides fans with an early look at the franchise’s future.
Building on Progress
The 2026 Spring Training comes on the heels of a 19-win improvement from 2024 to 2025, signaling positive momentum in the organization’s rebuild. The White Sox will look to continue that upward trajectory with their young core gaining valuable experience and veteran leadership providing guidance.
Recent Roster Moves
The Spring Training schedule announcement comes alongside several key organizational decisions. The White Sox exercised Luis Robert Jr.’s $20 million team option for 2026, retaining the former All-Star outfielder for his seventh season with the club.
However, the White Sox will enter spring training without left-handed pitcher MartÃn Pérez, who declined his $10 million mutual option and became a free agent.
Ticket Information
The organization notes that the schedule remains subject to change, with any additional spring or exhibition games to be announced later. Fans interested in spring training tickets can find information through the team’s official channels.
For a franchise in the midst of a comprehensive rebuild, the 2026 Spring Training represents both an evaluation period for young talent and an opportunity for fans to witness the next generation of White Sox baseball taking shape in the Arizona desert.
