Braves Claim Chadwick Tromp

By Steve Adams | September 21, 2021 at 1:58pm CDT

The Braves have claimed catcher Chadwick Tromp off waivers from the Giants and assigned him to Triple-A Gwinnett, per a team announcement. San Francisco had designated Tromp for assignment over the weekend.

Tromp, 26, has appeared in 33 games for the Giants over the past two seasons and posted a .215/.220/.418 batting line with five homers and a double in 82 plate appearances. That represents the entirety of his Major League experience to date. Tromp has also spent parts of four season in Triple-A, where he’s a .253/.316/.414 hitter.

Tromp has drawn solid framing marks both in Triple-A and his limited MLB time, and he’s thrown out one third of attempted base thieves in his professional career. He has two more minor league option years remaining beyond the current campaign, so he could potentially be a flexible depth option in Atlanta for the foreseeable future.

Of course, the Braves already have a good bit of catching depth within their system. Atlanta recently extended veteran Travis d’Arnaud on a two-year, $16MM contract that guarantees him $8MM in 2022 and 2023. The Braves also have a pair of well-regarded catching prospects  in Shea Langeliers and William Contreras — the latter of whom has already made his MLB debut.

Speculatively, Tromp could give them an option early in the 2022 season if the Braves want both Contreras and Langeliers to be getting everyday at-bats in the minor leagues. That’s a long ways off, however, and he’d first need to survive the offseason on Atlanta’s 40-man roster, which is no sure thing.

      Really? I end up getting the 2nd post by just a couple of seconds all because you just wanted to say the word “TROMP” in all capital letters?

        Yes, because your “who the heck is this guy?” comment was so much more poignant and insightful that it should’ve been first.

        Actually ur right, TikTok. That is the only current or former presidents name that gets blocked on this site. I guess all the other ones are considered okay for whatever reason.

      he isn’t half bad but posey’s option + possibility of keeping casali +Bart coming up makes him the low man in the giants system at backstop. He played a lot of the 2020 season for the giants when posey opted out.

      A very talented (backup) catcher, who I wish the Giants had not DFA’d. Braves made a good pickup.

      Glove first catcher? If you’ve been paying attention, it’s pretty obvious Tromp can’t stop the steal.

    Hey, fellas.
    I just got back from a Charles Dickens novel where I was hanging out with Oliver Twist, Whit Merrifield, Cheslor Cuthbert, & Chadwick Tromp.

    So…what’s new?

    By taking TROMP out of the equation now puts BART in 3rd place on depth chart. If they are to meet in Playoffs will be interesting if either are on the roster. I wonder if adding TROMP gives ATL some insight to how SF pitches to their batters
