Chicago White Sox acquire Gold Glove CF Brenton Doyle from Rockies

The Chicago White Sox completed a trade with the Colorado Rockies, sending right‑hander Mason Adams and shortstop Carlos Vielma to Colorado in exchange for two‑time Gold Glove centerfielder Brenton Doyle. Doyle, 28, is coming off a left oblique contusion that limited his 2026 season, but he returned to the lineup and posted a .214/.287/.282 slash line with one home run and nine stolen bases over 45 games. He previously earned a Gold Glove in 2024, posting strong defensive metrics including 14 Outs Above Average. The move was driven by White Sox general manager Chris Getz, who said the acquisition adds defensive value and depth to the outfield as the team approaches the trade deadline. Getz also highlighted the need for reliable innings from the outfield, noting that the trade aligns with the club’s statistical model for improving playoff probability.
