The Chicago White Sox did not scout or draft Tristan Peters originally; they acquired him via a minor waiver/cash trade after being DFA’ed from the Tampa Bay Rays on December 18, 2025. [1, 2]

Peters was originally drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in the seventh round of the 2021 MLB Draft out of Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Public records do not specify an individual scout credited for his acquisition by the White Sox, as he was a pro-scouting/front office waiver pickup after being designated for assignment by Tampa Bay. [1, 2, 3]

If you're interested, I can share:

• The details of his trade history across the Brewers, Giants (instead spent a boatload on Lee from Korea), and Rays

• His breakout 2026 stats with the White Sox
