Frequently Asked Questions
Why are the White Sox considering replacing Drew Romo on the roster?
Drew Romo is hitting just .137 over 95 at-bats with a -0.2 WAR, and he's gone 4 for his last 47 over his last 15 games. For a team fighting for a playoff spot, that level of production from the backup catcher spot isn't sustainable.
Who is Korey Lee and what has he done in AAA this season?
Korey Lee is a catcher in the White Sox organization currently playing in AAA. This season he's hitting .230 with a .311 on-base percentage, 11 home runs, 36 RBIs, and eight stolen bases.
How does Korey Lee's production compare to Drew Romo's at the major league level?
In 2024 over 377 at-bats, Lee hit .210 with a .244 on-base percentage, and in 35 at-bats in 2025 he hit .257 with a .333 on-base percentage. Both marks are significantly better than Romo's current .137 average.
When is Kyle Teel expected to return and how does it affect the White Sox lineup?
Kyle Teel has already returned from the injured list and was one of the best hitters on the White Sox last season. His return is a major boost, especially since the catcher position had been producing some of the worst numbers in the league.
How close are the White Sox to contending for the playoffs this season?
The White Sox are in a battle with the Cleveland Guardians for the division title. With Teel back and Munetaka Murakami expected to return from the injured list, the team believes it can put together one of the best lineups in the majors if the pitching holds up.
