Availability
The White Sox have traded catching prospect Boston Smith to the Mariners as part of a four-player deal on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Smith goes to the Mariners along with reliever Seranthony Dominguez and outfielder Nolan Jones in exchange for veteran right-handed starter Luis Castillo. Smith, 23, is a highly-touted catching prospect as he is hitting .291 with 22 home runs, nine stolen bases, and a 1.037 OPS across three minor league levels this season, his first season as pro after being drafted by the Nationals in the sixth round in 2025.
Boston Smith has been traded from the Washington Nationals to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for infielder Curtis Mead.
Fantasy Impact
Smith was selected in the sixth round by the Nationals in the 2025 MLB Draft and has yet to suit up in the minor leagues. He played collegiately at Wright State and batted .330 with 26 home runs and 72 RBI in 59 games in his final season with the Raiders. Primarily a catcher, Smith will likely head to the lower levels of the minors to begin his development.
The Washington Nationals have signed catcher Boston Smith to a pro contract.
Fantasy Impact
The Nats drafted Smith with their sixth-round pick in Sunday's draft out of Wright State. He posted an .825 OPS in 18 games as a Senior.
