The Chicago White Sox are coming off a season to forget.
They finished with a record of 41-121, the most losing record by an MLB team in the modern era.
After winning the American League Central just four years ago in 2021, the White Sox have gotten progressively worse each season.
After putting in a lot of work this offseason to get the team back to a competitive level, the White Sox have traded away their best starting pitcher, Garrett Crochet.
After trading Crochet, the White Sox now have some talent on their farm.
According to MLB Network’s “X,” the White Sox have six prospects ranked in MLB Pipeline’s top 60 prospects.

– LHP Hagen Smith (#30)

The six prospects in the White Sox system include left-handed pitcher Noah Schultz at No. 16, catcher Kyle Thiel at No. 25, left-handed pitcher Hagen Smith at No. 30, shortstop Colson Montgomery at No. 37, outfielder Braden Montgomery at No. No. 54 and catcher Edgar Caron at No. 59.
While many of these names are not yet prominent, the White Sox now have the potential to develop these players into MLB regulars in the coming seasons.
The White Sox hit rock bottom in 2024 and have nowhere to go but 2025.
With the AL Central responsible for three playoff teams in 2024, the White Sox will likely struggle to be competitive in the division next season.
There have been reports that the White Sox are potentially interested in trading their other star player, outfielder Louis Robert Jr., this offseason as well.
