Vaughn Grissom has had a turbulent two-year stretch in the Boston Red Sox organization. In 2024, he appeared in just a handful of MLB games, and accumulated 114 plate appearances while notching 20 hits. He dealt with multiple hamstring injuries during an underwhelming first year in Boston while Chris Sale, the seemingly over-the-hill pitcher sent to Atlanta for a fresh start in a new environment, won a Cy Young Award.
Grissom’s time in Boston has officially come to an end with the news of his trade to the Angles. It appeared that his days were numbered when Grissom was mashing the ball in July and still missed a call up to replace the injured Marcelo Mayer.
