"Tromp offers a more experienced third option in Baltimore's catching lineup, alleviating pressure to promote top prospect Samuel Basallo amid his injury."
"Despite a subpar offensive record, Tromp's defensive skills and minor league experience make him a suitable choice for the Orioles' catching depth."
The Baltimore Orioles signed catcher Chadwick Tromp to a minor league deal after he was designated for assignment by the Braves. Tromp, who has experience in the MLB with the Giants and Braves, will join Triple-A Norfolk. While his offensive stats are underwhelming, he provides defensive reliability and pop, making him a strong third-string option behind established catchers Adley Rutschman and Gary Sánchez. The move also allows the Orioles to manage their top prospect Samuel Basallo's development without immediate pressure, given his current injury.
