The Braves announced this afternoon that catcher Chadwick Tromp has cleared waivers and been sent outright to Triple-A Gwinnett. Atlanta had designated him for assignment last week.
Atlanta claimed Tromp off waivers from the Giants last September. He spent the offseason on the 40-man roster but lost his spot when the Braves brought up Bryce Elder for his major league debut. Tromp has appeared in nine games with Gwinnett over the past two years but hasn’t suited up at the MLB level with the Braves. The righty-hitting backstop did appear in 33 games with the Giants between 2020-21, picking up 82 plate appearances. He has managed just a .215/.220/.418 line in that limited time, but the Aruba native is a .253/.314/.412 hitter in parts of five Triple-A seasons.
The 27-year-old Tromp doesn’t have the requisite service time to refuse an outright assignment, so he’ll remain in the upper levels of the system. He no longer occupies a spot on the 40-man roster but will try to play his way back into that mix. Travis d’Arnaud, Manny Piña and William Contreras are the remaining backstops on the Atlanta 40-man.
Name sound like a Mario enemy
His full name is Chadwick Chandler Tromp. If baseball doesn’t work out, he probably has a future being a rich guy at the ski resort who’s dad has plans of tearing down the community center.
Gas prices were a lot better with Tromp around and people could afford to put food on the table, but no more mean tweets so it’s all worth it.
Chadwick Tromp controls the worlds oil production and is responsible for inflation??
I’d hate to be the Braves right now, retribution will be swift.
notti,
Correlation does not mean causation. Please read a book that isn’t of the comic variety.
aint this the guy who killed john lennon
That was Wally Joyner
He’s just not ready yet..Tromp ‘24
Chadwick? That must’ve been fun growing up.
This guy really brings the Tromp to the comments
This guy really brings the Tromp Trash to the comments
Tromp is trash.
Trump is trash.
Beden embodies what we feared from Tromp.
He drinks bleach and puts a uv light up his tailpipe?
I hear that “Beden” drew the line at tanning his plums like Tucker seems to be drooling over currently.
Now Chadwick can spend some quality beach time with Buffy and Skippy….rumors are just mad everywhere about whom Chadwick likes better…..
Apparently, the Braves feel Tromp’s unable to stop the steal when runners are taking yuge leads. Bigly.
I’d be a bit shocked if he ever finds playing time in Atlanta.
Card games in the Atlanta Braves clubhouse will be……………
NO TROMP !!!
