Braden Montgomery Traded To White Sox
1 month agoThe Chicago White Sox acquired outfield prospect Braden Montgomery from the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday as part of the package for left-hander Garrett Crochet, according to sources. The White Sox also landed catcher Kyle Teel, infielder Chase Meidroth and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez. It's a huge haul for the Pale Hose, with Montgomery being listed by MLB Pipeline as Boston's No. 5 prospect. The 21-year-old was the 12th overall pick earlier this year despite fracturing his ankle late in his final collegiate season with Texas A&M. The switch-hitting outfielder has yet to make his professional debut, but as a former two-way star at Stanford, he still has lots of upside as a position player due to his athleticism. Montgomery has impressive raw power and a plus arm, making him likely to stick in right field. He needs more development, but Montgomery figures to be the future in right field for Chicago.
