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.
TROMP
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?

TROMP
Yes, because your “who the heck is this guy?” comment was so much more poignant and insightful that it should’ve been first.
Tromp 2022
*TRIGGER WARNING* haha It’s funny because his name is similar to D*nald Tr*mp (Censored so I would not upset anyone or cause ptsd 🙂 )
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.
Who the heck is this guy?
CHADWICK TROMP!
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.
Donald better
Signing a glove first catcher coming after Contreras latest effort not a coincidence?
I think it’s just to have someone in Gwinnett. They’ve got a few games to play.
He easily gave up two runs last night. I love his bat but…..
lets,
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?
Go ask Alice, I think she’ll know……..
I’m remiss, I had tea & crumpets with Lewis Carroll
Shemp was the best stooge
Damn, @Curly.
& here I was going to invite you over for grouse, blue gills, & beer…
I’m available every even weekend. The odd weekends I spend with my friends from the 1850’s (that’s why they’re called “odd” weekends).
Appreciate the invite.
“Hi. I’m Curly. I just drove a thousand miles. Where’s the beer?”
Bang bang
I do believe it was called “Panther Beer”
“We all put the yeast in”
Bang Bang
It was was when he was on the Giants with Pence.
The Braves where “Tromping at the bit” to sign him.
i’ll show my self out……………
Chad likes the Braves because its his tromping grounds
I’ll follow you out
Please throw soft, rotten fruit only, we appreciate it
Shemp definitely is the best stooge
The Braves believe he could be a Tromp card in the future
Get Vogt healthy and stay with him
Tromp is gonna build a wall of defense behind home plate for Atlanta. Yuge addition.
Shemp definitely is the best stooge
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
Trump no chance to be on Postseason rosters
Tromp, Make Atlanta Great Again.
TROMP 2022
Make catching great again.
