Vaughn Grissom was sent to Triple-A Worcester ahead of the 2025 season as the Red Sox infield depth became too competitive for him to secure a spot. Despite joining the team through the Chris Sale trade with hopes of being a reliable second baseman, Grissom faced setbacks due to injuries. Red Sox manager Alex Cora acknowledged Grissom's hard work in the offseason, noting he showed up in excellent shape. Cora encouraged Grissom to focus on proving himself while in the minors, emphasizing that he should aim to demonstrate his talents to the broader MLB landscape.
"He did everything possible in the offseason. He killed it," Alex Cora said of Grissom. "We asked him to show up at 220 [pounds]. He showed up at 221."
"Be selfish. Do your thing. Show everybody that you can be a big leaguer," Cora said. "And not only with us. I think in the industry."
