Colson Montgomery's late-season slump gives White Sox difficult decision for ALDS lineup vs Guardians (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I was a relatively big defender of Colson Montgomery for most of this season. I defended his high strikeout rate and struggles with hitting-for-average, and instead pointed to his power and defensive skillset. But his strikeouts got substantially worse as the season progressed, and with the postseason upon us, it's become tougher to justify a spot for Montgomery in the regular Postseason lineup. Those strikeouts have been Montgomery's white whale. That's a part of his three-true outcome profile,
White Sox have clear area for improvement in 2027 despite AL-best offense (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The White Sox finished the regular season with the fifth most strikeouts in baseball; a total of 1,494 in 2026. This is not overly surprising, as their regular line-up has both Munetaka Murakami and Colson Motgomery, who have two of the highest strikeout rates in their major leagues. Montgomery made the news by striking out 227 times, breaking MLB's former single-season record of 223, which stood from 2009 until now. And he's barely the worst strikeout hitter on the team; Murakami's K-rate is fr
How Rikuu Nishida can still be part of White Sox future despite lack of power (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Rikuu Nishida was selected in the 11th round of the White Sox 2023 draft, and he stills rank on their Top 30 Prospects list on MLB Pipeline. He's advanced up to Triple-A and posted strong numbers all through the minors, currently sitting with an overall FV grade of 40. He even got a short stint in the majors earlier this year, when the Sox needed another outfielder, and he seemed like a potential candidate for another call-up when the September rosters expanded. However, Nishida has a glaring fl
Sam Antonacci's unconventional play style continues to endear White Sox and anger rivals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sam Antonacci has had a solid rookie year. He's been the White Sox leadoff hitter against right-handed pitchers, he has a .366 OBP, and he's scored 74 runs. He's sporting a .758 OPS in 130 games. But he plays an aggressive style of baseball that's mostly died in recent years, and it hasn't always been appreciated in his first season. He's made his viewpoint clear; he doesn't go against the rulebook, but he's not a big time power-hitter, so he has to find other ways to contribute. Some of his met
Chase Meidroth has become unexpected steal of White Sox-Red Sox Garrett Crochet trade (opens the original)
Read excerpt
White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth enters Wednesday slashing .269/.344/.392, with 78 runs, 12 home runs, and 51 RBIs. He's solidified himself as Chicago's everyday second baseman after some discourse about his future in the offseason. His season is even more impressive when you look at both his reliability this year, the improvements he's made since last year, and how he's beat expectations. In December 2024, the White Sox traded ace pitcher Garrett Crochet to the Red Sox in exchange for four to
