Frequently Asked Questions
Who did the White Sox trade to get Brenton Doyle?
The White Sox sent right-hander Mason Adams and infielder Carlos Vielma to the Colorado Rockies. Adams was the organization's No. 8 prospect per MLB Pipeline, while Vielma is a 16-year-old who spent most of his season in the Dominican Summer League.
How many Gold Gloves has Brenton Doyle won?
Doyle won back-to-back Gold Glove Awards in 2023 and 2024. He backed those up with elite defensive metrics, posting +11 and +14 Outs Above Average in those respective seasons.
Why has Brenton Doyle played so few games this season?
Doyle suffered a left oblique contusion in late May that sidelined him for nearly two months. He was activated from the injured list the Friday before the trade, and has appeared in just 45 games this season.
What is Brenton Doyle's strikeout rate and why is it a concern?
Doyle carries a career 28% strikeout rate, and that problem has gotten worse this season with a 32% strikeout rate in 129 plate appearances. He has also been hitting a ton of ground balls, with over half of his at-bats resulting in grounders at a 54.8% rate.
Where does Brenton Doyle fit in the White Sox outfield?
Doyle does not project as an everyday starter given that Sam Antonacci, Braden Montgomery, Tristan Peters, and Everson Pereira are already occupying outfield spots. He is expected to serve as a late-inning defensive replacement and could see time in center field when the Sox face left-handed starters.
