The Chicago White Sox are off to a solid start in the 2026 season. The Sox are 19-21 on the season, while being led by the young duo of Colson Montgomery and Munetaka Murakami .

As the team is just 1.5 games outside of first place in the division, Montgomery is now speaking out about the team's chances in the AL Central, speaking with Chris Rose.

"You guys actually think you can win this, don't you?" Rose asked.

"I mean, yeah, I think you know, being a true competitor, you think you're the best and think you can compete with the best. We have a good group of guys. We've come together, and we've really put together that competitiveness and that mindset that we are the best," Montgomery said. "I feel like that's when a team is most powerful. You know, when not just one guy or two guys really believe in it. The whole team and a lot of the young players. It comes from the coaches. The coaches, in spring training, are telling us, everything in our division, especially too, everything's wide open."

The division is currently open. The Cleveland Guardians lead the division, but are just 22-21. Meanwhile, the Detroit Tigers and Kansas City Royals are both 19-22, while the Minnesota Twins are 18-23.

The White Sox have been solid on offense. They are 19th in the majors in runs scored, while sitting 15th in on-base percentage, and 11th in slugging. The pitching staff is also 18th in the majors in team ERA.

The White Sox have a chance to move up in the division when they open up a three-game series against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.
