Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Sox fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Without a doubt, the White Sox have been an enormously pleasant surprise in 2026.
The club has enjoyed standout performances in every aspect of the game, and boasts a Cy Young candidate in Davis Martin, an MVP long shot in Miguel Vargas, and even players who should end up getting Rookie
of the Year consideration in Sam Antonacci, Tristan Peters and Munetaka Murakami.
But we’re putting you on the spot this week, asking for your team MVP for the first half. In addition to those listed above, Sean Burke has been a reliable No. 2 and almost as good as Martin and Colson Montgomery is racking up Ks but home runs all the same.
With the stellar Sox first half in the rear view mirror, who’s your pick?
