White Sox promote Edgar Quero to MLB roster

The Chicago White Sox are promoting top catching prospect Edgar Quero from Triple-A Charlotte, with his MLB debut expected imminently. Quero, ranked sixth in the Sox’s farm system and among MLB Pipeline’s Top-100 prospects, has impressed with a .333 batting average and strong on-base numbers in Triple-A this season. His promotion is seen as a shift toward youth for the struggling White Sox, whose offense has been among the league’s worst. The timing of Quero’s call-up, along with fellow prospect Chase Meidroth, has drawn criticism as an example of service time manipulation, as it allows the team to retain an extra year of club control. Quero is expected to contribute both as a catcher and designated hitter, providing much-needed offense and depth, especially with Korey Lee sidelined by injury. The move signals a possible change in the team’s strategy, focusing more on developing young talent rather than relying on veteran players.
