The White Sox today informed catcher and infielder that they would not be making the Opening Day roster. The news was relayed by of . Meidroth, a prospect not on the 40-man roster, will start the season at Triple-A Charlotte. Narvez is a veteran who was in camp on a minor league deal. He had an opt-out in that deal and has now been released, though Fegan suggests its po sible he re-signs on a new minor league deal. Narvez, 33, has had some Dennis Eckersley Jersey good seasons but is coming off a rough two-year stretch. He signed a two-year, $15MM deal with the Mets going into 2023 but that pact went south quickly. He suffered a significant left calf strain in the first season of the deal. He only got into 49 games and hit just .211/.283/.297. To start 2024, he put up a line .154/.191/.185 and was released in early June. A minor league deal with the Astros didnt get him back on track, as he hit .196/.325/.304 for their Triple-A club down the stretch. For what its worth, his numbers have been more respectable in camp with the White Sox. He had a .250/.400/.333 line in 30 spring plate appearances. However, the Sox are going to roll with and as their catching duo, which squeezed out Narvez. Hell now have a chance to see what opportunities are available to him in the next few days. He had a solid track record prior to that ill-fated Mets deal, with a .251/.334/.374 career batting line and 96 wRC+ through the end of the 2022 season. His defense wasnt well regarded when he first made the big leagues but became stronger as his career progre sed. Several clubs in the league are dealing with catcher injuries, so he might get a few calls, but it also seems po sible he returns to the Sox to give them some non-roster depth. As for Meidroth, he was just acquired from the Red Sox as part of the deal. He spent last year at Triple-A and hit .293/.437/.400 over 122 games. That perhaps gave him a chance to crack the big league roster out of camp but he hit just .154/.313/.179 here in the spring. That will get him sent back to the Triple-A level to start the year but a midseason promotion should be attainable with a good stretch of play. He has spent a lot of time at the three infield spots to the left of first base and the Sox dont have a lot of certainty in their middle infield right now, with guys like and seemingly slated for a lot of playing time.
