The Chicago White Sox are focused on building for the future, exemplified by their decision to call up catcher Kyle Teel from Triple-A ahead of a game against the Kansas City Royals. Teel expressed his excitement about this achievement, highlighting the hard work leading up to it. With strong statistics in Triple-A, including a .295 batting average and eight home runs, Teel's promotion aligns with the White Sox's strategy for development, alongside other promoted catchers like Edgar Quero. General Manager Chris Getz noted Teel's overall improvement as a decision-making player both offensively and defensively.
"This is a dream come true," Teel said pregame. "I'm trying to soak it all in and I can't wait for the game tonight. ... It's something I worked my whole life for."
A lot of it was just Kyle's production, quite honestly," Getz said of the decision. "...you're looking at a fairly well-rounded player, obviously as he transitions to the major-league level, there's always going to be adjustments."
