The Red Sox traded Meidroth to the White Sox on Wednesday along with Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery and Wikelman Gonzalez in exchange for Garrett Crochet, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
Meidroth, 23, slashed .293/.437/.401 with seven homers, 13 steals and a stellar 71:105 K:BB over 122 games with Triple-A Worcester in 2024. He has experience at second base, third base and shortstop but is best suited for the keystone. Meidroth is not on the 40-man roster but appears close to being major-league ready.

Red Sox's Chase Meidroth: Forces promotion to Double-A
Rotowire
Meidroth was promoted from High-A Greenville to Double-A Portland on Tuesday.
A fourth-round pick in 2022, Meidroth slashed .338/.495/.459 with two home runs and four steals in 20 games at High-A before getting the well-deserved bump to Double-A. His .442 BABIP illustrates that he was playing over his head, but his 34.3 percent hard-hit rate and 5.7 percent soft-hit rate were elite marks that support an above-average BABIP. He split time between second base and third base with the Drive, and his public scouting reports suggest he won't offer much value with the glove.
