In a series of promotions at the end of July, the Chicago White Sox finally moved up top prospect Braden Montgomery to Double-A Birmingham.
Montgomery, 22, started the 2025 season in Low-A Kannapolis after being acquired in an off-season trade from the Boston Red Sox.
Garrett Crochet went to Boston in the deal, and the White Sox got a package of four prospects. Montgomery is the guy with the highest ceiling of the four.
Montgomery has hit at every level this season
Kannapolis was an understandable place for Montgomery to start given that 2025 was his first taste of professional baseball.
