Coulson Montgomery's breakout has the White Sox fanbase buzzing. A late-season surge across 71 games featuring 2.6 WAR signals a ceiling that could resemble Cory Seager territory, with power at short and a path to future corner events. The episode maps how Montgomery, Braden Montgomery, and Kyle Teal could anchor a rebuilt lineup while weighing Lenin Sosa as a potential trade chip and the value of extensions.

The discussion dives into roster construction, trade markets, and the delicate balance of cost vs upside as the organization plans for 2026. It also highlights Robert’s uncertain future and the chance the Sox pursue a meaningful, economical upgrade that compounds Montgomery’s rise with real-wins potential in the near term.

September callups dominate fantasy chatter as Sal Stewart, Harry Ford, and Colson Montgomery lead a slate of fresh risks-and-rewards. Stewart’s strong minor-league track record (about 309 average with 20 homers and 80 RBI across 118 games) raises immediate intrigue for Cincinnati, especially with dual 2B/3B eligibility. Ford’s Seattle move brings catching depth with a hint of speed, while Montgomery projects power and plus RBI upside for Chicago’s lineup. Ha-Seong Kim’s return adds a near-term boost in speed and multi-positional flexibility. The mix also includes pitching rookies Ian Seymour and Jonah Tong who could offer short-term spark if deployed in favorable matchups.

Rosters will evolve fast in September, so fantasy managers should prioritize these players based on playing time, lineup role, and known risk of benching. In deeper leagues, stash plays like Ford, Montgomery, and Tong can pay off when win-now rosters churn. Insiders Track listeners get the edge with immediate-prospect alerts, ranking, and prioritized adds as callups unfold.

White Sox fans experience yet another disappointment as the team squanders a 5-0 lead, ultimately losing to the Angels 8-5. Tyler Alexander's decision to remain on the mound in critical situations raises eyebrows, particularly with the bullpen's inefficiency. Despite recent success, the team's inability to close games signifies deeper issues.

Coulson Montgomery shines as a bright spot, hitting his seventh home run in 14 games, drawing comparisons to past White Sox hitters. The potential for a $300 million player emerges if Montgomery's development continues positively.

On the organizational front, discussions around players like Lenin Sosa and the potential roster decisions for 2026 become prevalent. While Sosa leads the team in batting average, his lack of plate discipline and defensive woes raise questions about his long-term viability.
