White Sox notebook: Who Sox got in trade, Rule 5 Draft; Sasaki to get bid, Tauchman signing official
Chris Getz said it was difficult to trade Garrett Crochet, but the White Sox general manager’s intention to do just that was evident since the trade deadline.
But landing the Red Sox’ No. 4, 5, 11 and 14 prospects from the Red Sox for the All-Star lefty made it easy.
“To be able to get a haul like we did and diversify a deal with some real talent in there, it became very obvious that this was a good deal for the Chicago White Sox,” Getz said Wednesday.
Here’s who the Sox got:
Catcher Kyle Teel, 22, is rated by MLB Pipeline the No. 3 catcher overall. He batted .288/.386/.433 with 23 doubles, 13 home runs and 78 RBI with 12 stolen bases in 112 games last season with Double-A Portland and Triple-A Worcester. The Red Sox drafted him No. 14 overall in 2023.
Outfielder Braden Montgomery, 21, was a projected top three pick but dropped to 12th overall in the 2024 draft and did not make his pro debut in 2024 due to a broken ankle suffered in the college regionals. But is expected to be ready for spring training, Getz said.
