Nationals acquire Curtis Mead from White Sox in exchange for catcher Boston Smith

The Washington Nationals acquired utility player Curtis Mead from the Chicago White Sox in exchange for catcher Boston Smith

2 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Shipped to D.C. The White Sox traded Mead to the Nationals on Saturday in exchange for minor-league catcher Boston Smith.

Impact Mead was DFA'd by Chicago on Wednesday, but he'll rejoin a 40-man roster after being traded to Washington. The 25-year-old infielder has slashed just .238/.300/.317 across 445 plate appearances in his MLB career, but he posted a .908 OPS in Triple-A last season.

Exits 40-man roster The White Sox designated Mead for assignment Wednesday.

Impact Mead is a victim of the White Sox needing to clear space on their 40-man roster. The former top prospect has yet to establish himself at the big-league level, slashing .238/.300/.317 across parts of three seasons. Mead is still just 25, so there could be a club willing to take a shot at him via waivers.

On bench in Vargas' return Mead is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.

Impact Mead had started in each of Chicago's last 12 games, but he'll hit the bench while the White Sox welcome Miguel Vargas (wrist) back from the injured list. Given that he slashed a middling .255/.300/.362 over that 12-game stretch, Mead may not have made a compelling enough of a case for the White Sox to continue giving him everyday at-bats in the corner infield ahead of Mead and Lenyn Sosa. The right-handed-hitting Mead will likely continue to play regularly against left-handed pitching, however.

An overlooked White Sox player is quietly producing after joining the team Ever since joining the Chicago White Sox, infielder Curtis Mead has been looking more capable of reaching his offensive ceiling.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2025 • SOUTHSIDESHOWDOWN.COM

Playing well with regular at-bats Mead went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI on Thursday against the Twins.

Impact Mead has started eight straight games and 10 of the last 11 contests while playing exclusively at third base. In that 11-game span, he's gone 13-for-44 (.295) with three RBI, seven runs scored and five doubles. Mead also has a seven-game hitting streak and should continue to see regular at-bats so long as Miguel Vargas (wrist) is sidelined.

Taking control at hot corner Mead will start at third base and bat sixth in Sunday's game against the Yankees.

Impact Mead will be making his fourth consecutive start after going 2-for-11 with a double and two runs over the previous three contests. The 24-year-old should be in line for a near-everyday role at the hot corner while Miguel Vargas (hand) is on the injured list.

Sitting again Sunday Mead is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact After starting at either corner-infield spot for nine consecutive games while going 9-for-31 (.290 average) with one stolen base, five RBI and two runs, Mead will remain on the bench Sunday for the second straight contest. The White Sox will go with Lenyn Sosa at first base and Miguel Vargas at the hot corner as they look to avoid a series sweep.

Sitting again Sunday Mead is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Royals.

Impact After bouncing between the corner infield spots over nine straight games and going 9-for-31 (.290) with one stolen base, five RBI and two runs, Mead will get a second straight contest off. The White Sox will go with Lenyn Sosa at first base and Miguel Vargas at the hot corner as they look to avoid a series sweep.

Out of lineup Saturday Mead isn't starting against the Royals on Saturday.

Impact Mead has been a regular at third base since getting called up from Triple-A on Aug. 3, and he's held his own with a .281/.361/.281 slash line -- albeit with no extra-base hits -- along with five RBI and a stolen base over 10 games as a member of the White Sox. He's getting a breather Saturday, though, as Miguel Vargas is starting at the hot corner and Lenyn Sosa is sliding over to first base.

AUGUST 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will get regular reps at third base The White Sox plan to give Mead regular playing time at third base down the stretch, Kyle Williams of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

Impact Mead handled first base in his first six starts for the White Sox, but Miguel Vargas returned from the injured list Tuesday and is slated to play that position moving forward. That leaves the hot corner for Mead, although the White Sox will have more juggling to do with their infield once Chase Meidroth (thumb) is back. Mead is 7-for-27 with five RBI in his first eight games since arriving in Chicago.
