Summary

Chuck Garfien’s Spring Training Podcast-pa-looza rolls on with White Sox shortstop Colson Montgomery, who opens up about returning to Arizona with a new mindset after refining his swing last season alongside White Sox hitting director Ryan Fuller. Montgomery reflects on his incredible second half, which saw him record the second-most home runs and RBIs in the A.L., the work that fueled it, and the hustle play in the final game of 2025 that defined his edge. He also shares what it’s like living in the spotlight, the text he sent prospect Billy Carlson on draft day, and how veterans have helped shape his growth. Plus, Montgomery breaks down what he’s seeing from the 2026 White Sox and why he believes this group could surprise people.
