The White Sox acquired Quero along with left-hander Ky Bush from the Angels on Wednesday in exchange for right-handers Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After putting up a .970 OPS in Single-A in 2022, Quero was pushed to Double-A to begin 2023 and is slashing .245/.385/.332 with 35 RBI across 317 plate appearances. The 20-year-old backstop will likely remain in Double-A as he transitions to his new organization, though he remains on his way to contribute in the majors within a few years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Headliner of trade package
Quero is the most significant prospect heading to the White Sox in the trade that sent Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo Lopez to the Angels.
ANALYSIS
Quero, a 20-year-old catcher, is currently slashing .246/.386/.332 in Double-A. He was a logical trade chip since he's blocked by fellow top prospect Logan O'Hoppe, who is currently on the injured list for the Angels after undergoing shoulder surgery in April. Keith Law of The Athletic notes that "Quero had an incredible season in 2022 as a 19-year-old in Low-A," so Los Angeles rushing him through the minors is a legitimate justification for his middling 2023 results.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
We can appreciate how impressive Quero's 2022 season was while still acknowledging that the catcher market in dynasty leagues is so robust that even the best Single-A catchers aren't in high demand in many leagues. The switch-hitting backstop put up a .312/.435/.530 slash line with 17 home runs, 12 steals and a 17.7 K% in 111 games as a 19-year-old. Quero projects for plus power and he rarely chases pitches out of the zone, just don't expect the stolen bases to remain in double digits as he moves up the ladder. He is a good to very good catching prospect who is at least two years away from the majors. How you value such a player depends on your personal preferences and league settings. If we just compare Quero to other Single-A catchers, Harry Ford is a better fantasy prospect and Moises Ballesteros is comparable. Odds are most teams in your dynasty league are either set at the position or are already rostering a catching prospect or two that they like who is closer to the majors than Quero.
