White Sox Acquire Chase Meidroth, Wikelman Gonzalez From Boston
The Chicago White Sox acquired infield prospect Chase Meidroth and pitching prospect Wikelman Gonzalez from the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday as part of the package for left-hander Garrett Crochet, according to sources. Catcher Kyle Teel and outfielder Braden Montgomery are also heading to Chicago. Meidroth (No. 11) and Gonzalez (No. 14) weren't the headliners in this trade for the White Sox but could still end up with significant roles with the big-league team in due time. Meidroth has experience at shortstop, second and third base and hit an impressive .293/.437/.401 with seven homers and 13 steals in 122 games for Triple-A Worcester in 2024. The 23-year-old is close to major-league ready, and his most immediate path to playing time might be at second. Gonzalez, a 22-year-old right-hander, needs more seasoning after posting a 4.73 ERA with 92 K's and 46 walks in 83 2/3 innings for Double-A Portland this past season.
