Vaughn Grissom was the prize prospect included in the Atlanta Braves' trade for Chris Sale before the 2024 season, but he quickly fell out of favor with the Boston Red Sox. Hitting under .200 in his first season in Boston while posting a 30 wRC+, Grissom became an afterthought in the organization, and the Los Angeles Angels took advantage of that reality at the Winter Meetings.
The Angels have acquired Grissom from the Boston Red Sox in a trade that was first reported by ESPN's Jeff Passan. While the full details of the trade have yet ot be revealed, it makes sense for the Angels to take a gamble on the former top prospect.
