The Los Angeles Angels acquired former top prospect Vaughn Grissom from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday, giving up outfield prospect Isaiah Jackson in exchange.
Grissom, originally an 11th-round pick out of high school, was acquired by the Red Sox in the December 2023 trade that sent Chris Sale to the Atlanta Braves. Sale went on to win his first Cy Young Award in his age-35 season in 2024. Grissom, meanwhile, struggled, hitting .190/.246/.219 in 31 major league games and .259/.385/.373 in 55 minor league games. His 2025 season was spent entirely in Triple-A, where he hit .270/.342/.441, only a slight improvement.
