The trade deadline move that backfired on White Sox and will affect 2026 offseason

Among the more disappoint aspects of the Chicago White Sox's 2025 campaign was the fact that the team didn't do a lot to build toward the future.

Sure, there were debuts from a number of top prospects, including catcher Kyle Teel and shorstop Colson Montgomery. They, along with Chase Meidroth and the starting pitching triumvirate of Shane Smith, Sean Burke, and Davis Martin, all look like cornerstone players for the next era of White Sox baseball.

However, in a 60-102 season, you'd like to see the front office capitalize on some of the veteran talent on the team and trade them for prospects than can aid the future.
