White Sox have reportedly shut down Red Sox' attempts to reacquire Kyle Teel

"Teel, who'll turn 24 in February, was the headliner prospect in the Red Sox' four-player package for Crochet, ranking as the 25th-best prospect in baseball at the time of the trade (per MLB Pipeline). He was also Boston's fourth-ranked prospect when it traded him to Chicago, rising to Triple-A Worcester at the same time as Roman Anthony, Marcelo Mayer, and Kristian Campbell. The Red Sox also gave up Braden Montgomery, Chase Meidroth, and Wikelman Gonzalez in the deal for Crochet."

"Teel, who Boston selected in the first round of the 2023 draft, quickly made his way up to the majors, getting called up in June and hitting pretty well in his rookie season. He logged a .273 batting average with a .786 OPS, eight home runs, and 35 RBIs in 78 games. But he had some struggles behind the plate, with his minus-seven Outs Above Average ranking among the worst in baseball."

The Red Sox attempted to reacquire catcher Kyle Teel after trading him to the White Sox for Garrett Crochet. The White Sox have shut down every inquiry and have no desire to trade Teel, valuing his left-handed bat, strike-zone control, athleticism, and running ability. Teel, a 2023 first-round pick, rose quickly to Triple-A and reached the majors, hitting .273 with a .786 OPS, eight homers and 35 RBIs in 78 games as a rookie. Defensive metrics were weak, with a minus-seven Outs Above Average. Boston does not have a pressing catching need but remained open to adding depth.
