White Sox promoting Kyle Teel: What can top catching prospect bring to last-place Chicago?
Getty Images The Chicago White Sox will soon call up catcher prospect Kyle Teel, Scott Merkin confirms. Teel, 23, was ranked by CBS Sports as the No. 34 overall prospect coming into the 2025 season. Here's part of R.J. Anderson's write-up: "Teel, the 14th pick in the 2023 draft, was obtained from the Red Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade. He's an athletic backstop with the potential for average or better tools in the areas that count for catchers. Teel even has above-average raw strength from the left side, though his power is likely to manifest in doubles and not home runs barring a swing change. There are some risk factors worth pointing out here, including the generally high attrition rate for backstops and some swing-and-miss tendencies that may cause his bat to play lighter at the game's highest level. Nevertheless, […]
