Former Texas A&M star outfielder named to the MLB All-Star Futures game
Despite a late-season ankle injury that effectively ended his college career, he was still selected with the 12th overall pick in the first round of the 2024 MLB Draft. Before even taking a swing, Montgomery was traded to the Chicago White Sox. He began his professional career in Single-A with Kannapolis, and after just 18 games, he was promoted to the High-A Winston-Salem Dash, where he has been a solid contributor for the past two months.
Montgomery currently sports a slash line of .263/.336/.459, with seven home runs and 30 RBIs. To continue climbing the ranks, he'll need to make further progress and reduce his strikeouts (48), but he's trending in the right direction, and his efforts haven't gone unnoticed. He was recently selected to play in the All-Star Futures Game.

The Yankees facing the most scrutiny as October hopes are replaced with anxiety
For more than six weeks, Aaron Boone and the Yankees mostly have taken an 'all is well!' approach, one that more and more has become reminiscent of Kevin Bacon's character amid mounting hysteria in the cinematic comedy classic 'Animal House.' Still, their Good Ship Lollipop steadily has taken on water with a 16-24 record since June 13 — including Tuesday's badly needed 7-5 win over the Rays behind ace Max Fried. Over that 40-game segment, essentially a quarter of the 162-game slate, the Yankees — a team with a payroll in the $300 million range — have been among MLB's worst teams. Advertisement Through Monday, they had been tied with the Nationals for the most losses in baseball since that date, and their winning percentage only was better over that span than those posted by the Nats, Twins, Rockies and Giants, according to StatMuse.

Astros Trade Rumors: Team Increases Interest In Padres' Dylan Cease
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The Houston Astros rotation has been banged up all season long with multiple injuries. Framber Valdez has been one of the few pitchers for Houston that has been healthy, but Houston could use more depth. With the Seattle Mariners right on the Astros' heels for the division, it's led to the team pursuing starting pitcher Dylan Cease, according to Ken Rosenthal and Chandler Rome of The Athletic. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 28: Dylan Cease #84 of the San Diego Padres walks to the dugout during the third inning against the New York Mets at Petco Park on July 28, 2025 in... SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 28: Dylan Cease #84 of the San Diego Padres walks to the dugout during the third inning against the New York Mets at Petco Park on July 28, 2025 in San Diego, California. More"Perhaps it should come as no surprise, then, that Cease is at the top of the Astros' wish list as the trade deadline nears, according to sources briefed on the team's discussions," they wrote. "Cease, 29, would stabilize the Astros' injury-depleted rotation for the rest of the season, and join All-Star right-hander Hunter Brown and left-hander Framber Valdez to give the team a potentially dominant trio in a postseason series." Cease would be a rental for Houston, so the organization wouldn't be paying the price of acquiring someone with years of control. However, the Padres know they can still get a lot for him. Unlike most deadline deals, Rosenthal and Rome point out some major complications. "The challenge for the Astros in acquiring Cease might be finding a suitable match with the Padres, who are only interested in trading the pitcher if they can improve their current major-league roster," they wrote. "Acquiring Cease and the remainder of his $13.75 million salary also would almost assure the Astros will cross the luxury tax for a second consecutive season." If the Astros can make a deep push in the playoffs, the luxury tax should be the least of their worries. Instead they should focus on doing what it takes to get the deal done. However, Houston would have to decide if acquiring a pitcher is worth coughing up a bat. It seems likely this kind of deal would only work with a third team involved that sends the Padres a bat with both San Diego and Houston sending a prospect each to the third team.
