Vaughn Grissom Adds Muscle
27 seconds agoBoston Red Sox chief baseball officer Craig Breslow said on Tuesday that the team has been very happy with infielder Vaughn Grissom, who gained 20 pounds of muscle during the offseason. Grissom was expected to be Boston's primary second baseman at this time last year, but groin and hamstring injuries limited him to just 31 games at the big-league level in 2024 in his first year in Boston. He went 20-for-105 (.190) with no homers, six RBI and two stolen bases in 114 plate appearances with the BoSox. The 24-year-old will yet again have a shot to earn significant playing time in 2025, but he will be competing with prospect Kristian Campbell and David Hamilton at the keystone this spring. Over a full season, Grissom has the skills to reach double digits in homers and steals, making him a worthwhile end-game gamble in deep-mixed fantasy drafts.
