Episode Synopsis

The Chicago White Sox, currently in a rebuilding phase, showed promise in the second half of the 2025 season with rookie debuts, but fans should temper their expectations. Despite a 19-win improvement, the team still finished with a 60-102 record, the second worst in baseball. While many young players performed well, development in baseball is unpredictable. Colson Montgomerys impressive home run and OPS numbers may not be sustainable. Expecting significant improvements from players like Chase Meidroth, Edgar Quero, Miguel Vargas, Lenyn Sosa, and Shane Smith might be optimistic. The teams history with players like Yoán Moncada and Eloy Jiménez suggests that relying solely on internal development without adding outside talent can be risky. A realistic goal for the 2026 White Sox might be a 70-win season, but inflated expectations could lead to disappointment.DNN | The Daily News Now!The world’s first global local news network.Every city.
