Vaughn Grissom was once regarded as an exciting prospect with the Atlanta Braves. In fact, some people around the MLB world expected Grissom to open the 2023 season as Atlanta's shortstop. Instead, Orlando Arica earned the job and Grissom began the year at the Triple-A level. The Braves ultimately traded Grissom to the Boston Red Sox in the Chris Sale deal this past offseason, and the young infielder is ready for a fresh start in Boston.
Grissom was drafted by the Braves and envisioned himself impacting Atlanta's big league ball club at some point.
