White Sox Land Catching Prospect Kyle Teel
1 month agoThe Chicago White Sox acquired catching prospect Kyle Teel from the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday as part of a package for left-hander Garrett Crochet, according to sources. The White Sox also landed outfielder Braden Montgomery, infielder Chase Meidroth and right-hander Wikelman Gonzalez. Teel, ranked by MLB Pipeline as Boston's No. 4 prospect, was a first-round pick in 2023 out of Virginia. In his first professional season, the 22-year-old backstop hit a combined .288/.386/.433 with 13 home runs and 12 stolen bases in 112 games for Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester, rising quickly through Boston's farm system. The White Sox also have prospect Edgar Quero at the position, but Teel has more upside from the left side in his bat and could force his way onto the major-league roster as early as 2025. Teel should already be rostered in dynasty/keeper leagues.
