The Angels are acquiring infielder Vaughn Grissom from the Red Sox, reports Jeff Passan of ESPN. The Sox are getting minor league outfielder Isaiah Jackson in return, reports Chris Cotillo of MassLive. The move will drop Boston’s 40-man count to 39 when it’s official, perhaps allowing them to make a selection in tomorrow’s Rule 5 draft. The Halos’ 40-man count goes from 34 to 35.
More to come.
The stove is getting warm .. I guess
Maybe clearing room for a big signing?
Thank GOD he’s off the Sox (I’m not even religious). Curious of the return.
Breslow seriously thought that this guy was enough for Chris Sale
To be fair it was for 1 season of Chris sale after he pitch 31 games….. in 4 seasons. It’s funny how quickly it went from “clean break” to “bad move” in the media.
It’s Boston. They turned into the Yankees once they broke the curse of the Bambino
Don’t forget it was Sale and 17MM.
I wonder if Breslow now realizes Grissom only looked good in Atlanta because of a .348 BABIP.
Sale was a cash dump
Finally
A greasy paper bag from a cheese steak is the return.
Can’t wait to see the return so we can close the book on the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad return for Chris Sale and his entire 2024 salary.
He’s a former Brave, so he fits the mold.
I’ve always liked him. i wish yankees considered him. i still want rosario back now
I’m glad he’s getting a chance, and hope he does well. No future with Arias, Mayer and Campbell in front of him.
Fairly predicatable trade by Minasian. Now is Rengifo packing bags? What happens with plans for Cristian Moore??
Giif is a FA
Is he? My clock is off! Haha
Moore clearly needs minor league seasoning but Grissom should be a bench piece.
Rengifo is a free agent and I doubt he’ll re-sign here.
Copy! Mahalo! 🤙🏽🍻
Grissom shouldn’t block Moore imo.
ST should shake out the tree, so to speak. Hope Grissom can find his mojo!
It’d be funny if the Red Sox acquired Grayson Rodriguez in return, but it said a minor leaguer.
Hopefully the kid gets a chance out there and can make the most of it
I kid above but these are the types of chances the Angels should take. Grissom is only 23 and has talent.
Most of these lottery tickets won’t hit but if a couple do, that could go a long way towards helping Neto and the young core be successful in the future.
Clearing a 40-man spot… 👀
