• White Sox's Braden Montgomery: Looks healthy for spring

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Montgomery (ankle) has appeared in three Cactus League games thus far, going 1-for-3 with a walk while playing seven innings in center field and four in left field. The No. 12 overall selection by the Red Sox in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft, Montgomery didn't make his professional debut at any point last summer, as he was recovering from surgery to address a fractured ankle that he suffered in June while playing with Texas A&M. The Red Sox then shipped him to Chicago over the winter as part of the prospect haul the White Sox received in exchange for left-hander Garrett Crochet. Now with a new organization, Montgomery seems to be healthy again, and the White Sox's decision to give him at-bats in spring training suggests that he'll bypass rookie ball and report to a full-season affiliate at the conclusion of spring training.

  The Red Sox traded Montgomery (ankle) to the White Sox on Wednesday along with Kyle Teel, Chase Meidroth and Wikelman Gonzalez in exchange for Garrett Crochet, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Montgomery was the No. 12 overall pick in the 2024 First-Year Player Draft and has yet to make his professional debut after fracturing his ankle in his final college season at Texas A&M. The switch-hitting outfielder should be healthy for the start of the 2025 campaign and is a big addition to the Chicago farm system.
