The Boston Red Sox have completed a minor trade with the Chicago White Sox, dealing catcher Blake Sabol to their top affiliate in Charlotte. The move comes after Sabol was reassigned to Worcester due to his struggles at the plate.
Sabol, 27, had been on the 40-man roster but was designated for assignment in June. He previously spent time with the Red Sox from April to May and had a .167 batting average with three homers and 17 RBIs in 43 games.
The trade marks the latest development in the Red Sox’ catching depth issues, which have led them to explore external options. Industry sources suggest that the team will sign another catcher soon, potentially adding Seby Zavala or Enderso Lira from outside the organization to fill the gap.
