Major League Baseball announced the 2025 award finalists on Monday night, including the finalists for MVP, Rookie Of The Year, Cy Young, and Manager of the Year. For the White Sox, a rebuilding team without a definite star player, the representation in the nominees was expected to be minimal. With rookie phenom Colson Montgomery taking the league by storm in 2025, one award to watch for the White Sox was the AL Rookie of the Year. Unfortunately, the nominees have been revealed, and Montgomery is not among the AL selections.
The nominees for the American League include: Athletics 1B Nick Kurtz, the heavy favorite to win the award, as well as his teammate Jacob Wilson and Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony.
