Red Sox Option Vaughn Grissom

The Red Sox announced this afternoon that they are infielder for the “Option” option Vaughn Grissom and jug Luis Guerrero And Josh Winckowski To the Minor League Camp. Kiley McDaniel from ESPN reported for the first time about the Grissom train. Boston has also re-assigned non-squad invitations Nathan Hickey And Mark Kolozsvary.

Grissom entered spring in the mix for the second base job from Boston. He and David Hamilton tried to deactivate the prospects of the upper middle information Kristian Campbell And Marcelo Mayer. The Alex Bregman To sign the picture, but it seems that the SOX intends to keep the long -time third party Baseman on the hot corner.

Bregman did not play a second basis this spring. Manager Alex Cora told reporters (including Chad Jennings by The Athletic) that the SOX does not intend to get Rafael -devers All third basis repetitions in the warehouse. With Masataka Yoshida The season is expected to be opened on the injured list and will probably start the year as a full -time hitter, while Bregman takes third place.

Acquired by the good for Chris Sale In the low season 2023-24, Grissom had a hard first year with the SOX. He missed the time with tribes in both thighs and did not hit when he was healthy. He directed a .190/.246/.219 slash without Homerun in 114 mlb records. Hamilton jumped on the track for most of the second base season. Grissom spent a good part of the year at Triple-A Worcester.

A healthy low season provided some hope that the 24-year-old would take back the promising offensive form he showed in the minors. However, he didn’t show much in the camp when he scored in 14 games .176 without Homer. He is no longer in the race for a place on the opening day. He will start the year in Worcester. Grissom has an excellent slash of .307/.408/.459 in almost 700 triple-A panels in the last two seasons. His plate discipline still makes him a fascinating player, but he has dropped the midfield of the organization at the inner field depth.

Hamilton, Campbell and Mayer stay on the Major League side of the camp. The Linfty-Swinging Hamilton is the only member of this trio who is on the 40-man squad or has MLB experience. Last season he met with eight Homern and 33 stolen bases over 98 games .248/.303/.395. He stole five more bases with two homers, while this spring he hit over 18 games of 0.239 in the games.

Mayer and Campbell are generally among the top prospects in sports. Mayer, who did not play in Triple-A, scored last season .307/.370/.480 over 335 double A record appearances. It meets in an impressive spring appearance .357/.438/.536. Mayer has never played the second basis in the minors – all except two of his appearances came in Shortstop – but he gets repetitions on the right side of the bag in the warehouse. Trevor history Is locked up in Shortstop, so it makes sense to achieve Mayer re -backlets in other positions.

Campbell is primarily a second Baseman who has experience in the outer field and on the third basis. He improved his stock more than any other smaller Leaguer last season. The fourth in 2023 met in his first full professional season .330/.439/.558 to reach Triple-A. He had a hard spring training. Campbell recorded in a third of his record appearances in 45 record appearances. That doesn’t mean much for his prospect status, but the SOX has to weigh that if you decide whether to break the camp.
