The Orioles have signed catcher Chadwick Tromp to a minor league contract, according to his transaction log on MLB.com. Tromp elected free agency last week after he was designated for assignment by the Braves.<\/p>\n

He will report to Triple-A Norfolk. The Norfolk Tides confirmed the signing in their game notes today (h\/t to Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com).<\/p>\n

\"Orioles<\/p>\n

Tromp, 30, began his professional career in the Reds organization in 2013 and made his big league debut with the Giants in 2020.<\/p>\n

The Braves claimed him off of waivers from the Giants in September 2021, and he made appearances for Atlanta each year from 2022-25.<\/p>\n

All told, Tromp has appeared in 61 MLB games, slashing .224\/.235\/.385 over 162 plate appearances.<\/p>\n

While his overall offense is substandard, he provides a bit of pop (15 career extra-base hits, .160 ISO) and plays solid defense behind the dish. He is more than qualified for Baltimore\u2019s third-string catching role.<\/p>\n

Barring an injury, Tromp isn\u2019t likely to get the call-up to Camden Yards.<\/p>\n

The Orioles are well-equipped at the catcher position, with two-time All-Star Adley Rutschman as their starter and veteran slugger Gary S\u00e1nchez as their backup.<\/p>\n

However, Tromp offers a more experienced third option in the organization than David Ba\u00f1uelos.<\/p>\n

Having Tromp around will also reduce any pressure the Orioles might feel to promote top catching prospect Samuel Basallo in the event of an early-season injury to Rutschman or S\u00e1nchez.<\/p>\n

Basallo, who is currently on the minor league IL himself with a hamstring injury, is an incredibly promising player. He is also just 20 years old and has only played 28 games at Triple-A.<\/p>\n

He could be ready to debut toward the end of the season, but the Orioles are unlikely to rush his development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
