Chicago White Sox focus on young talent for rebuilding

The Chicago White Sox are focusing on young talent for the 2025 season after a disappointing 41-121 record in 2024. The team is in rebuild mode, with hopes of trading Luis Robert Jr., their last core player from previous seasons. Pitching prospect Grant Taylor is gaining attention during spring training. Scouts are comparing him to top prospects Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith, noting his impressive fastball speed and diverse pitching skills. At 22, Taylor made his professional debut in 2024 and has shown promise despite past injuries. He has pitched four innings this spring, recording nine strikeouts and one hit allowed.
