Chadwick Tromp: Everything you need to know

Atlanta reassigned Tromp to minor-league camp Sunday. With Tromp sent out, Atlanta is left with Jonah Heim, Jair Camargo and Sandy Leon as its backup options at catcher behind Drake Baldwin in big-league camp while Sean Murphy (hip) remains on the mend. Tromp is expected to open the 2026 campaign at Triple-A Gwinnett after he spent most of the past season in the minors.

Tromp signed a minor-league contract with Atlanta on Sunday. Tromp bounced between Atlanta, Baltimore and Boston in 2025 and slashed .191/.256/.266 with 20 RBI and 17 runs scored across 207 plate appearances in Triple-A. Now back in the Peach State, the 30-year-old backstop will presumably open the season at Triple-A Gwinnett and act as organizational depth.

The Red Sox signed Tromp to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Rob Bradford of WEEI.com reports. Tromp elected free agency last week after being removed from the Orioles' 40-man roster, but he will stay in the division. The veteran backstop will give Boston some experienced depth at the catcher position.
