4/20/25 | Red Sox-Mariners Trade Idea Sends Red-Hot 24-Year-Old Slugger To Seattle. The positional logjam for the Boston Red Sox extends all the way to the Triple-A roster. It's a good problem to have in theory, but the Red Sox have about 16 capable major league hitters duking it out for 13 roster spots. Second baseman Vaughn Grissom is in perhaps the most difficult spot of anyone. A year after being acquired in a one-for-one swap with Cy Young winner Chris Sale, Grissom lost the starting job in spring training to rookie sensation Kristian Campbell.

One young player flying under the radar at the moment is second baseman Vaughn Grissom, who the Red Sox are allowing to become more of a utility infielder in Triple-A right now. Grissom, the former top prospect acquired in the Chris Sale trade with the Atlanta Braves, lost the competition for the starting job to rookie sensation Kristian Campbell during spring training.

3/29/25 | This Motivates Young Red Sox Infielder In Consequential 2025 Season. Vaughn Grissom never got his true shot as the everyday second baseman for the Boston Red Sox in 2024. Illness and injuries negated most of his time at the MLB level in his first year with the Red Sox. Kristian Campbell took the Opening Day spot on this year's roster, leaving Grissom to start the season with Triple-A Worcester. The 24-year-old still has plenty of baseball growth ahead and immediately gets the chance to prove his eventual worth to the Red Sox. Source: https://nesn.com/2025/03/this-motivates-young-red-... |

3/28/25 | Vaughn Grissom responds to Red Sox decision to start him at Triple-A in 2025. Vaughn Grissom entered spring training 2025 surrounded by a combination of expectations and praise. Grissom's first year in the Boston Red Sox organization was mostly lost due to injuries that either kept him on the bench or rehabbing in the minor leagues. The infielder didn't bounce back well, and he batted .259/.385/.373 over 55 games in Triple-A and just .190/.246/.219 in 31 major league games. Boston fans hoped the 24-year-old would rebound and come back better this winter, and some compliments from Alex Cora made it seem possible.

It led to Grissom beginning this season with Triple-A Worcester.

Enmanuel Valdez got the Opening Day start, and David Hamilton surprisingly wound up playing the most games at the position. All in all, the Red Sox used nine players at the position last season, which included cameos from starting catcher Connor Wong and recently-traded minor leaguer Mickey Gasper.
