The Chicago White Sox have been exciting throughout the offseason and are ready for spring training to see how they will perform on the field. They traded away some pieces of last year’s team while bolstering their farm system. There is a lot of excitement for the future of the franchise with one of the top-rated farm systems. With spring training getting ready to kick off, let’s take a deeper dive into the White Sox’s biggest storyline at this moment.

MLB published an article discussing one major storyline for each team before spring training begins. The storyline they wrote for the White Sox was titled, ‘The next wave of prospects’, and below is the reasoning they gave for this storyline:
“Outfielder Braden Montgomery, infielder Sam Antonacci and left-handed hurlers Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith don’t figure to break camp with the team, but they certainly will get serious looks during Spring Training It’s important next-step development years for Schultz and Smith, as potential top-of-the-rotation hurlers while the switch-hitting Montgomery and Antonacci could force the issue sooner than later coming off strong ’25 campaigns. All four should help the big league squad in 2026.”
The Cubs are going to be one of the younger teams this season, and they are in a position to develop their young players. Some of the players listed could wind up making the 26-man roster, which would give some additional excitement for the White Sox. MLB ranks these three of those players in the top 100 prospects as Montgomery is 36th, Schultz is 49th, and Smith is 72nd. It will be intriguing to see which prospects are getting ready to step up as spring training approaches.
