The Boston Red Sox made a significant trade with the Chicago White Sox that involved top prospect Kyle Teel, leading to a need for a catcher. In a subsequent deal with the New York Yankees, they acquired Carlos Narváez. Initially serving as a backup, Narváez's impressive performance has led him to win the starting catcher position, outshining expectations with a solid batting average and overall production this season. Boston's chief baseball officer, Craig Breslow, expressed enthusiasm about Narváez's success and his quick adjustment to the team.
By all accounts, it's been a huge success...we're very, very excited about what he's been able to do. And at least as important...is how quickly he acclimated to Boston.
Narváez was expected to be a good defender, but his offense has been far better than expected. He's got a .279/.343/.459 slash line.
