For the last half-decade or so, the Braves have been quite fond of relying on multiple backstops. Doing so has largely led to them avoiding needing a third catcher for a while, except when a series of unfortunate events all struck in 2021. But, for the past two years, that role has been Chadwick Tromp’s, and it has resulted in only a brief visit from the Trompical Storm in each season.
How Acquired
The Braves claimed Tromp off waivers from the Giants all the way back in September 2021. Since then, he’s bounced around a bit — he’s been designated for assignment once, played in the World Baseball Classic for Team Netherlands, had a couple of stints in Atlanta, had a couple of stints on the Injured List.
