White Sox Overpay for Defensive Depth | Chicago News
Description
The White Sox pull off a defensive upgrade at the trade deadline, acquiring Brenton Doyle from Colorado — a Gold Glove center fielder with elite arm strength and speed — despite his limited offensive output this year. With injuries plaguing their outfield, Doyle fills a critical gap, especially as rookies and injured veterans struggle to stay consistent. In return, Chicago sends two prospects — Carlos Vielma and recovering pitcher Mason Adams — raising eyebrows given Adams’ recent Tommy John surgery and lower ranking. While Doyle’s glove is undeniable, the cost feels steep for a player who’s more depth than dynamite — but with the postseason looming, the Sox may be betting on defense to carry them.
