The White Sox and Nationals completed a trade Saturday, with Chicago acquiring former second-team All-American catcher Boston Smith and sending infielder Curtis Mead to Washington.
Smith, 23, was a sixth-round pick of the Nationals in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, but has not yet played in the minor leagues. At Wright State, he was a consensus second-team All-American in 2025 after batting .330 with 26 home runs, 70 RBIs and 70 runs in 59 games. He tied for the Division I lead in homers and ranked seventh in slugging percentage (.770).
Mead, 25, was designated for assignment on Wednesday by Chicago. With the White Sox last season, he hit .240 with no home runs and 11 RBIs in 41 games. Chicago acquired the Australian last July 31 from the Tampa Bay Rays in a four-player deal that sent right-hander Adrian Houser to Tampa Bay.
