A Juan Soto trade would have to include these 3 White Sox prospects

1 of 3

The Chicago White Sox are getting ready for a huge run at the American League Central Division in the second half of the season. They were brutal for most of the first half and still find themselves at .500. They think they are set up for sustained success but that is always hard to predict.

The present is the most important thing for this White Sox team as their roster is constructed to win right now. They still have a few holes that they can fix with just a few tweaks but they could also go for the home run.

Juan Soto is one of the best players in Major League Baseball right now. He is going to be on the block as he rejected a massive offer from his current club in the Washinton Nationals.

In the extremely unlikely event that the White Sox tried to trade for him, these three prospects would need to be included:

Norge Vera

Norge Vera would be a great fit in a Chicago White Sox trade for Juan Soto.

If Washington is going to trade one of the greatest players in the game, it is going to be the biggest story in the sports world. If that does in fact happen, they are going to want every team’s top pitching prospect and for the White Sox, that is Norge Vera.

Vera is currently listed by MLB dot com as the number five prospect in the White Sox system but he is the highest ranked pitcher there. The righty is currently playing in A ball so it will be at least a couple of years before he makes it to the big leagues.

If the Nationals do move Soto and the White Sox somehow made it to the table for an offer, you would have to think that Vera is a part of it.

Oscar Colas

The Chicago White Sox could move on from Oscar Colas if the right deal is made.

The Chicago White Sox landed Oscar Colas during the winter in what was once the worst kept secret in baseball. We knew that the White Sox were going to land Colas out of Cuba about a year before it became official but it was nice to hear once it finally happened for sure.

They have great faith that he will one day be a staple in their starting lineup. As of right now, he is listed by MLB dot com as the number two prospect in the organization. That is exactly the type of player that can come in and make an impact on Major League Baseball at some point.

The Nationals would almost certainly need him included in a Juan Soto trade. They need to stock up on good prospects as they continue their rebuild and Colas would be a nice upgrade. He wouldn’t be their number two guy as they have a better farm right now but he’d be up there.

The upside on Colas has to make any team excited. If he doesn’t ever get traded then he will be relied on in a Chicago White Sox uniform but they could consider him in a big deal for a talent upgrade. A Juan Soto deal is incredibly unlikely but Colas would be a part of it if it wasn’t unlikely.

Colson Montgomery

The Chicago White Sox like Colson Montgomery but they’d move him if needed.

The Chicago White Sox made a big commitment to Colson Montgomery when they took him with the 22nd overall pick of the first round in the 2021 MLB Draft. He is a shortstop that is hoping to become a really good Major League player one day.

He is currently the number one prospect in the Chicago White Sox system. No matter what, the Nationals are getting a team’s number one guy if they are giving them Juan Soto. They won’t care if he fits a need or not. They will just want the most talented player under any circumstances.

Montgomery is climbing the ladder of top baseball prospects. He seems to climb with every ranking that comes out as he is now listed in the top 100 for all MLB players. He is the only White Sox player (at number 92) to have that honor right now.

If they traded this guy, they would for sure be hoping that Tim Anderson signs a mega deal so that he can remain there for a while. Montgomery is still a few years away but he has the potential to be really good.

Again, the White Sox are highly unlikely to land a player like Juan Soto. He turned down a contract north of 400 million and the White Sox have never handed out a contract over 100 million. This is just to say which three prospects are guaranteed to go in the off chance that it did happen.
