3+ min ago (876+ words) On Day 2 of the Winter Meetings, the Red Sox have struck a trade. Red Sox trade Vaughn Grissom to Angels for minor league OF, ending disappointing stint ORLANDO " On Day 2 of the Winter Meetings, the Red Sox have struck a trade. Boston has dealt infielder Vaughn Grissom to the Angels in exchange for minor league outfielder Isaiah Jackson, sources confirmed Tuesday. ESPN's Jeff Passan was first on the deal. Grissom, 24, departs the Red Sox after two ill-fated seasons with the club. Acquired in the major trade that sent Chris Sale to the Braves in December 2023, Grissom appeared in just 31 games for Boston, all in 2024. He spent most of his first season in Boston injured, then fell down the depth chart and spent all of 2025 at Triple-A Worcester. With infielders like Marcelo Mayer, David Hamilton, Nick Sogard, Tristan Gray, Romy Gonzalez,…...

5+ min ago (222+ words) The Atlanta Braves were already happy about the Chris Sale trade if we are being honest. In giving up Vaughn Grissom who did not seem to have a path to playing time in Atlanta, the Braves got a future Cy Young winner and a guy who remains the ace of their staff today. Considering they only had to pay part of his contract as well, that is a massive win. Unfortunately for Grissom, his time in Boston has not gone nearly as well. While he has put up solid to good numbers in the minor leagues with the Red Sox, his relationship with the team was frayed due to the lack of opportunities he has gotten (and, in his mind, deserves) and a divorce became inevitable. That divorce finally came on Tuesday and, like so many other ex-Braves players over…...

8+ min ago (314+ words) Not every move that takes place at the Winter Meetings can be a blockbuster. Instead, the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim completed a simpler trade on Tuesday afternoon. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported the deal, with the initial indication being that Vaughn Grissom was being sent from the Red Sox to the Angels. It appears the move was made in part to clear a 40-man roster spot. It took a little while for the rest of the details to emerge. The Red Sox are getting a minor league player in return for Grissom, according to MassLive's Chris Cotillo. The player: Isaiah Jackson. He's a 21-year old outfielder who was just an eighth-round pick in the 2025 draft. He was sent to High-A after the draft, where he had a .668 OPS in limited action. Jackson won't take up a…...

14+ min ago (459+ words) The Los Angeles Dodgers have secured former New York Mets closer Edwin Diaz, the top closer on the market, with a three-year, $69 million deal, ESPN reported on December 9, citing sources. Targeting bullpen reinforcements this offseason, Los Angeles handed Diaz a contract that sets a new high for average annual value among relievers. A three-time MLB All-Star, Diaz excelled with the Mets last season, posting a 1.63 ERA and converting 28 of 31 save chances. Moreover, his career-long success stems from a dominant fastball-slider combination, which helped him strike out 98 batters over 66" innings in 2025 while walking just 14. New York's decision to let Diaz walk to Los Angeles isn't sitting well with former MLB general manager Jim Duquette, who didn't hesitate to criticize the Mets, considering the figure that the Dodgers paid. "It was $23 [million]. And you're the New York Mets. How is he not…...

25+ min ago (437+ words) Could two members of the Buss family add some green and gold to their purple and gold?
