Alex Cora has some difficult decisions looming in terms of his lineup construction for the beginning of 2025, and among those tough calls, Vaughn Grissom was sent down to Triple-A Worcester before Opening Day.

Grissom was acquired by the Red Sox via the Chris Sale trade ahead of last season, with the hopes of being a big league regular and stabilizing Boston’s second base position. But a lot can change in one year, and unfortunately for Grissom, injuries derailed his chances of making second base his home for the Red Sox.

To his credit, though, Grissom put in the work necessary to rebound in 2025.
