Chase Meidroth may not have gotten a shot at all in Boston in 2025, but after getting dealt this winter to the White Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade, he has a path to spending the entire season as a big-league regular. Public projection systems project Meidroth as one of the best hitters on Chicago's entire roster on a per-plate appearance basis, and Andrew Vaughn is the only infielder who is assured of everyday playing time. Meidroth is eligible at shortstop to start the year, but his two best positions are second base and third base, so he could add eligibility at one or two spots during the season. Unfortunately for fantasy purposes, power and speed are Meidroth's weakest tools, so he'll need to be playing every day to provide the necessary counting stats. He has a very good eye at the plate and a short swing, which results in very low strikeout rates (12.7 K% at Triple-A) and little power (ISO below .125 at High-A, Double-A and Triple-A). A strong batting average/on-base percentage and respectable runs totals via a high spot in the lineup are Meidroth's most realistic paths to providing fantasy value.

  • White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Fails to make Opening Day roster

    The White Sox reassigned Meidroth to Triple-A Charlotte on Monday, Daryl Van Schouwen of the Chicago Sun-Times reports. Meidroth got plenty of run at shortstop this spring but managed just a .492 OPS in 16 games. The 23-year-old still has a good chance to spend a large chunk of the season in the big leagues, but for now he'll head to Charlotte. Jacob Amaya appears in line to serve as Chicago's Opening Day shortstop.

  • White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Hitting leadoff regularly of late

    Meidroth has started at shortstop and batted leadoff in two straight Cactus League games for the White Sox and hit leadoff in all six of his exhibition starts in March. Meidroth missed some time this month with a calf issue but has been getting a long look in the leadoff spot when on the field. The 23-year-old's on-base skills are his best asset, as he boasted a 71:105 K:BB and .437 on-base percentage at Triple-A Worcester with the Red Sox organization in 2024, making him a sensible fit for the leadoff spot. Meidroth also might be emerging as the favorite to start at shortstop for the White Sox, as Colson Montgomery is now in minor-league camp and Brooks Baldwin has been playing more second base and even center field.

  • White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Exits game due to calf cramps

    Meidroth was removed in the fifth inning of Saturday's spring game against the Dodgers due to calf cramps. Batting out of the leadoff spot and playing second base, Meidroth went 0-for-2 before being replaced by Dominic Fletcher in the bottom of the fifth frame. Meidroth is considered day-to-day with the calf cramps, though the White Sox could take the cautious route and keep him off the field for the next couple of days. Across seven spring games, Meidroth has gone 2-for-14 with five walks, two runs, one double and one RBI.

  • White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Good plate discipline in spring

    Meidroth has gone 2-for-14 with a double, three strikeouts and five walks in Cactus League games. Meidroth was acquired as part of the return from the Red Sox for Garrett Crochet and has a chance to win the shortstop job out of spring training. Hits haven't fallen in for him, but he's still shown decent ability to make contact while reaching base at a .368 clip. That fits Meidroth's profile as a prospect, as he's known for his hit tool but lacks other tools to make a significant impact on the game.

  • White Sox's Chase Meidroth: Dealt to White Sox

    The Red Sox traded Meidroth to the White Sox on Wednesday along with Kyle Teel, Braden Montgomery and Wikelman Gonzalez in exchange for Garrett Crochet, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports. Meidroth, 23, slashed .293/.437/.401 with seven homers, 13 steals and a stellar 71:105 K:BB over 122 games with Triple-A Worcester in 2024. He has experience at second base, third base and shortstop but is best suited for the keystone. Meidroth is not on the 40-man roster but appears close to being major-league ready.

  • Red Sox's Chase Meidroth: Forces promotion to Double-A

    Meidroth was promoted from High-A Greenville to Double-A Portland on Tuesday. A fourth-round pick in 2022, Meidroth slashed .338/.495/.459 with two home runs and four steals in 20 games at High-A before getting the well-deserved bump to Double-A. His .442 BABIP illustrates that he was playing over his head, but his 34.3 percent hard-hit rate and 5.7 percent soft-hit rate were elite marks that support an above-average BABIP. He split time between second base and third base with the Drive, and his public scouting reports suggest he won't offer much value with the glove.
