On July 26, 2023, Quero and Ky Bush were traded to the Chicago White Sox in exchange for Lucas Giolito and Reynaldo López.[7] He spent the remainder of the year with the Double-A Birmingham Barons, hitting .277 with three home runs and 22 RBI across 31 games.[8]

Quero split the 2024 campaign between Double-A Birmingham and the Triple-A Charlotte Knights. In 98 appearances split between the two affiliates, he slashed a cumulative .280/.366/.463 with 16 home runs and 70 RBI.[9] Quero was assigned to Charlotte to begin the 2025 campaign.[10]

On April 16, 2025, Quero was selected to the 40-man roster and promoted to the major leagues for the first time; he made his MLB debut a day later.[11] On July 4, Quero hit his first career home run, a solo shot off of Colorado Rockies starter Antonio Senzatela.[12]
