"Carlos Narvaez had a solid rookie season and emerged as Boston's top option behind the plate in 2025. However, the Red Sox have been linked to J.T. Realmuto's market, so there is some indication that the Sox aren't entirely set at the catching position. Along those same lines, MassLive.com's Sean McAdam reports that the club shown some interest in reuniting with ex-Boston prospect , though "nothing is close now" between the Red Sox and White Sox."
"It was almost exactly a year ago to the day that Boston included Teel as part of a four-prospect package in the blockbuster trade that brought Garrett Crochet to Fenway Park. A consensus top-60 prospect heading into the 2025 season, Teel made his Major League debut this year and had a strong initial showing, hitting .273/.375/.411 with eight home runs over his first 297 plate appearances in the Show."
"Normally there wouldn't be even a slight chance that the White Sox would consider flipping such a potential building block, except Edgar Quero is also on the roster as another possible "catcher of the future." This has led to teams inquiring on both Teel and Quero 's availability, just in case the South Siders were willing to deal from this on-paper surplus, or had already decided on which of Teel or Quero was their preferred choice going forward."
Carlos Narvaez had a solid rookie season and emerged as Boston's top option behind the plate in 2025. The Red Sox have been linked to J.T. Realmuto's market and showed interest in reuniting with ex-Boston prospect Teel, though no deal is close between Boston and the White Sox. Boston held talks with Chicago about Teel both this offseason and last summer. Teel debuted in 2025, hitting .273/.375/.411 with eight home runs in 297 plate appearances. The White Sox also have Edgar Quero, prompting inquiries on both catchers; Chicago is viewed as likelier to trade Quero because of defensive concerns. Neither Teel nor Quero faces immediate trade pressure given their early development.
