The Chicago White Sox have made significant moves in their shortstop position for the upcoming 2024 season. Veteran Paul DeJong, signed as a free agent for $1.75 million, is set to take on the role, with the potential to earn an additional $250,000 in performance bonuses. However, there are prospects in the pipeline who may challenge DeJong for the position.
Among the prospects vying for the shortstop role are Colson Montgomery, Braden Shewmake, and Jacob Gonzalez. Montgomery, the top-ranked prospect in the White Sox farm system, appears to be the frontrunner for the job. Shewmake, who suffered a left ankle sprain, may transition to second base to accommodate Montgomery or Gonzalez, who is ranked seventh in the organization's prospect list.
