White Sox Acquire Deivy Grullon
By Mark Polishuk | July 15, 2021 at 6:23pm CDT

The White Sox have acquired catcher Deivy Grullon from the Rays in exchange for cash considerations, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports (Twitter link).

With Yasmani Grandal still recovering from knee surgery, it isn’t surprising that the White Sox are looking to add to their catching depth. Zack Collins has been starting while Grandal is sidelined, with Seby Zavala as the backup and Yermin Mercedes (who has caught in a couple of games but is primarily a DH) is at Triple-A trying to get his swing on track. Grullon adds another backstop with at least some MLB experience to the mix.

It represents an opportunity for Grullon to perhaps finally get another crack at the big leagues after a number of different uniform changes over the last 10 months. Originally with the Phillies last September, Grullon has been claimed off waivers five times by four different teams — the Red Sox, Reds, Rays, Mets, and then the Rays again back in May.

Grullon appeared in one game with Boston in 2020, after debuting with four appearances for Philadelphia during the 2019 season. A veteran of eight minor league seasons, the 25-year-old Grullon didn’t show much at the plate until 2018, when he hit 21 homers over 353 plate appearances for the Phillies’ Double-A affiliate. He has had a lot of success at the Triple-A level, hitting .265/.340/.488 with 29 homers in 574 Triple-A plate appearances.

For instance they were never taught that Columbus was a slave owner.

This trade seems more to give Charlotte arms a reliable arm to throw to rather than a move for Chicago

Every dumb caller says the Sox should trade for Kimbrel.

So I asked her to curse the White Sox for the 2021 season and have them experience a bunch of injuries that would spoil any chance they might have to contend.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

I did think about this curse when Eloy got hit in the knee with a foul ball while in the dugout in Oakland. That’s some pretty bad luck.
