The Red Sox are having an exciting season, but much of the conversation about the franchise this year has revolved around Boston’s most promising players.
And rightly so, as the Red Sox’s young talent continues to impress as they climb the ranks of professional baseball. Most recently, four of Boston’s top five young prospects – Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, Kyle Teel and Kristian Campbell – have earned well-deserved promotions to Triple-A.
None of these young players will help the Red Sox The season, but the same may not be said for Chase Meidroth. MLB.com on Thursday compiled a list of “potentially impactful additions” who could potentially help their respective clubs down the stretch, and the network put Meidroth in the spotlight for Boston.
“Boston just promoted its Big 4 (Marcelo Mayer, Roman Anthony, Kyle Teel, Kristian Campbell) to Triple-A, but Meidroth has been there all season, hitting .294/.445/.395 with 12 steals in 101 games,” the column reads. “The 2022 fourth-round pick from San Diego is an on-base machine whose best position is second base, which has been a revolving door for the rival Red Sox.”

The combination makes sense. Not only could Meidroth provide some stability at second base, but he also has a strong right-handed bat – something Boston has been craving all season.
Nevertheless, the Red Sox may be in for a major infield reinforcement, as all indications are that Trevor Story will return to the club before the end of the regular season.
