Three Pillars: How the White Sox are Actually Building the 2026 Roster
- The White Sox outlined a three-pillar plan for 2026: long-term pieces, veteran short-term help, and a superstar swing.
- Montgomery and Meidroth are the top infield hopes, with Teel and Quero potentially sharing catching duties.
- The rotation and bullpen will rely on high-upside young arms with veterans in reserve roles.
- The team added Seranthony Domínguez to bolster the bullpen as young talent develops.
- Austin Hays and other veterans were signed to one- or two-year deals to stabilize the clubhouse.
- Munetaka Murakami was signed to a two-year, higher-guarantee deal to accelerate the rebuild.
- The move could keep Murakami through 2027 but may end with a mid-term departure.
- The plan aims to pair development with strategic veteran leadership for sustained progress.
- The 2026 season is framed as a pivotal step in Chicago’s long-term competitiveness.
- The report emphasizes a balanced approach instead of relying on a single headline acquisition.
