It's weird to think of a season in which a team loses 102 games as "progress", but the 2025 Chicago White Sox were no ordinary team.
Coming off the heels of an historically bad campaign in 2024, the White Sox were never expected to be good this season. Still, they improved on last season's record by 19 games, and a number of notable players emerged as obvious keepers through this current rebuild.
Top prospects Kyle Teel and Colson Montgomery made their respective MLB debuts, and it's hard to imagine that it could have gone better for either player.
