Omar Narvaez has been released by the Chicago White Sox, which was not surprising given the team's preference for catchers Korey Lee and Matt Thaiss. Despite his strong showing in spring training with a .400 OBP, Narvaez's poor performance last season led to this decision. In contrast, the White Sox opted to send top prospect Chase Meidroth to Triple-A Charlotte, instead of promoting him to the big league roster, raising eyebrows due to the team's lack of offensive talent at shortstop. These decisions reflect the strategic direction the team is pursuing as they develop their roster.
