Braves’ GM drops intriguing Vaughn Grissom left field proposition before Winter Meetings.

GM Alex Anthopoulos suggests Vaughn Grissom may cover left field for Braves, with potential for new signings before Winter Meetings.

As the Atlanta Braves gear up for the Winter Meetings, General Manager Alex Anthopoulos has floated a compelling possibility regarding the team’s outfield configuration. In a statement that has stirred the Braves community, Anthopoulos mentioned that if the season were to start today, prospect Vaughn Grissom would be considered for the left field position.

Grissom, who is set to play left field in Puerto Rico this winter, is traditionally an infielder but may find himself in a new role come spring, as reported by The Athletic’s David O’Brien on X, formerly Twitter. This move is contingent on the Braves’ actions in the offseason; if they do not acquire another left fielder, Grissom would be the primary option. Forrest Wall, another player in the Braves organization, has also been mentioned as a potential candidate for left field.

Anthopoulos has not ruled out the possibility of bringing in an “established, bona fide guy” for the left field if the right opportunity arises. This indicates that while Grissom is a strong internal option, the Braves are keeping their options open as they enter the free agency and trade market.
