Braden Montgomery Traded To White Sox
13 mins 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.
