GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The White Sox have an Opening Day starter in Sean Burke, but they don’t necessarily have an ace at the top of the rotation. Chicago has had plenty who capably filled that role in the recent past -- ranging from Mark Buehrle to Chris Sale to Lucas

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- While the White Sox were losing an MLB-record 121 games last season, their farm system moved in the opposite direction.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- If all goes as planned for the White Sox, left-handers Hagen Smith and Noah Schultz won’t spend much time following each other to the mound in a single game. Schultz, the No. 1 White Sox prospect and No. 16 overall, per MLB Pipeline, and Smith, who is

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Check out the upcoming Spring Breakout contest for the White Sox against the Rockies for an up-close look at the top prospects comprising the upper ranks of this fast-rising Minor League system for the organization from Chicago’s South Side.

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- White Sox general manager Chris Getz certainly could be excused for featuring a broad smile or three while watching his roster in action during Sunday afternoon’s Spring Breakout contest against the Rockies at Camelback Ranch. In the present, it’s a perfect way to showcase their vast Minor

The inaugural edition of Spring Breakout was a rousing success last year. Sixteen games showcased not only many of baseball's best prospects but also some of the most jaw-dropping tools in the Minors. Of the 10 best individual attributes we highlighted a year ago, nine belonged to players who reached

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Nick McLain was called up from the White Sox Minor League side for Friday afternoon’s Cactus League contest against the Reds, putting him across the Camelback Ranch field from his brother, Matt. A third McLain brother, Sean, plays in the Dodgers' system. If the McLains all reach

Ding, ding, who’s ready for Round 2? Last year’s inaugural edition of Spring Breakout gave fans early looks at Paul Skenes, Jackson Chourio, Pete Crow-Armstrong, James Wood, Jackson Holliday, Ceddanne Rafaela and many other young stars who graduated off prospect lists in 2024. Not only does it serve as a

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- When Colson Montgomery was told Tuesday about being optioned from big league camp to Triple-A Charlotte, the talented White Sox shortstop prospect admitted to being “bummed for a couple of hours.” “Once I woke up this morning, I was like, ‘All right, I have to go to

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Colson Montgomery returned to Cactus League action on Sunday afternoon from a bout with back spasms, resuming his case to open the season as the White Sox starting shortstop. Montgomery went hitless in two at-bats against the Guardians at Goodyear Ballpark in a 1-0 loss, but he

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Shane Smith mowed down one of baseball’s most intimidating lineups. Not bad for a Rule 5 pick who has yet to make his big league debut. Smith struck out five in three innings of work in Saturday’s 5-2 win over the Dodgers, marking the 24-year-old’s second consecutive

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The question about Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith, the top two left-handed pitching prospects in the game, per MLB Pipeline, hadn't even been completed to veteran southpaw Martín Pérez following a 3-2 loss to the Brewers Wednesday at Camelback Ranch before he responded with effusive praise. "He's

If there's any silver lining to be found in losing an MLB-record 121 games in 2024, it's that it forced the White Sox to embrace a complete rebuild. While it's a long path back to contention, playing for the future has helped revitalize a farm system that came in last

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Whenever Hagen Smith gets asked about being Major League ready, the No. 34 overall prospect, per MLB Pipeline, smiles and offers a familiar refrain. “I just say the same thing,” Smith told MLB.com. “Whenever I get the call is when I’m ready, I guess.”

PEORIA, Ariz. -- Speed is the name of the game for White Sox right-hander Grant Taylor. Speed, and accuracy. Actually, for a pitcher who touched 101.2 mph with his fastball on Feb. 23 at Surprise Stadium, it would be more about velocity and accuracy. But in this case we are

GLENDALE, Ariz. -- The goal for Andrew Benintendi is to be in the White Sox Opening Day lineup when they host the Angels on March 27 at Rate Field. But with an estimated 4-6 week absence due to a non-displaced fracture just below the knuckle on his right pinkie finger,
