The Orioles activated catcher Chadwick Tromp from the 10-day injured list and outrighted him off the roster. Tromp has already declined the minor league assignment in favor of free agency. This drops Baltimore’s 40-man roster tally back to 39.
Tromp has had two separate stints on the O’s active roster. His most recent began on June 23, as they called him up after losing Adley Rutschman and Maverick Handley to the injured list. Tromp himself got hurt a week later, landing on the shelf with lower back inflammation. The O’s called up Jacob Stallings to take his place. Gary Sánchez became the next Baltimore catcher to get injured, forcing them to acquire minor leaguer Alex Jackson and promote him to back up Stallings.
The Orioles decided to stick with the Stallings-Jackson pairing even though Tromp is now healthy. He’s out of options, so the Orioles had to waive him and allow him to elect free agency once they decided not to reinstate him onto the active roster. The 30-year-old Tromp has combined for eight appearances between the Braves and Orioles this season. He’s a career .221/.230/.390 hitter in 178 MLB plate appearances. The Aruba native owns a .253/.327/.416 batting line in parts of eight Triple-A campaigns.
This one’s not on the list.
He’s going to come back, bigly!
Like no one has ever seen in the history of the world.
So much for Tromp 2.0
Do the same thing to Maverick Handley when he’s activated.
Why? Solid organizational catcher – like every team has
Handley could not bust a pinata with his bat!🤣
His nickname should be “Dunald”.
How about dumb Donald?🤣
Already taken
Rapist Donald is taken as well. So is Felon Donald.
you missed “Effective” and “President who keeps Promises” and “Nominated Six Times for Nobel Peace Prizes”.
Weird you say promises kept because I haven’t seen inflation go down, Russia is still assaulting Ukraine, and the list is still secret.
And while he never promised to end it, Israeli genocide still continues along on his watch just like with Sleep Joe.
Gonna skip right over declassifying the JFK files, declaring a National energy emergency so we can drill baby drill, withdraw from the Paris agreement, making expiring tax cuts permanent, the pardons for Jan6 people, tariffs on countries that have been taking advantage of us….man just step back with your hatred of a President that gets stuff done like he says he would. Blame him for not stopping the war in Ukraine, when Zelenskyy flat would not do it. He tried. He didn’t send billions of dollars his way for sure.
Womp womp for Tromp
Definitely an upgrade over Stallings
Why would anyone waste time criticizing their 5th or 6th catcher. Does everyone not understand the nature of this teams injuries? Just like Tampa 2 years ago and Blue Jays last year. Remember everyone said they missed their window.
One less crappy catcher in Elias collection of crappy catchers. Must have a fetish!🤣
Brilliant cooperhilll – Adley is crappy and Basallo. In your world teams are 7 deep in quality catchers. Just brilliant
I mean, Adley isn’t good, but sure, he’s not crappy either.
In my 64 years, I have never seen so many garbage catchers collected in a single season!
Can he pardon himself?
We laid down the Tromp card.
End of an era
The Red Sox should pick him up instead of wasting prospects on Dalton Rushing. He’s a more than suitable backup to replace Connor Wong.
He’s been impeached!
