Edgar Quero C | CHW
White Sox's Edgar Quero: Added to taxi squad
The White Sox added Quero to their taxi squad Sunday, Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
The 21-year-old catcher could make his major-league debut with the White Sox during the last week of the regular season. Quero has been with the organization since July of 2023, when he was traded by the Angels along with left-hander Ky Bush in exchange for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez. Quero began 2024 with Double-A Birmingham, but he was promoted to Triple-A Charlotte in July. He missed some time due to a back injury, but across his 25 outings with Charlotte, he slashed .300/.390/.478 with four home runs and 17 RBI across 105 plate appearances.
