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.

Sounds like a scrap heap guy, but at least they didn't give up anything to get him.

I read that he is excellent defensively so he might have a niche at playoff time if Grandal can't return to catch. In the meantime, they can sit back to see if any better options arise.

I would still prioritize 2B and bullpen arms over Catching. Hopefully Grandal comes back. If not, I think you bat Collins/Zavala 9th and hope they can provide adequate defense.

They are in some trouble if Grandal isn't coming back. Maybe Robert and Eloy make up for it, but I don't trust them to stay healthy.

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

He's probably better than Zavala but I'd be looking to upgrade from either

They haven't won wearing the god awful City Connect uniforms.

Almost like there's a curse....

Grandal was also on the field with the team in Chicago during warm-ups doing some drills apparently so his original timeline doesn't seem to be pushed back despite the surgery.

Every dumb caller says the Sox should trade for Kimbrel.

Instead,

as a righty- Tepera or Winkler
as a lefty- Chafin or Brothers

Since Steve started this thread, the Sox are 61-41
Since Robert got hurt, the Sox are 47-32
Since Madrigal got hurt, the Sox are 24-20
Since Grandal got hurt, the Sox are 12-9
So far, so good indeed.

Only Jed Hoyer can do this so quickly.


Sox with an off day yesterday, another on Thursday, and yet another on Monday. This won't even be a blip on the radar.

They are in the process of giving each of their starters a 10 day break. This is nothing more than a rest.

Lopez recent brilliance and a 10 game lead has provided them flexibility.

Lynn wasn't going to pitch against the Pirates. He'll miss the KC series. Could be back when they travel to Oakland.


Sox magic number to clinch the division is 23.

The White Sox magic number is 22.

They have 28 games left. If the Sox go 14-14, Cleveland would have go to 30-2 to tie the Sox. If the Sox go 10-18, Cleveland would have to go 32-0 to tie the Sox.

Just a matter of "when" not "if" they win the AL Central. Great job, Steve! :lol: :lol: :lol:

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.

Eloy has his own specific curse.

Great day at the ballpark. 12 dollar tickets in 520. 13 for a parking pass. Tailgaters.

Son already bought a Sox hat. He loves this park. I've lost him forever.
