* When the Red Sox traded Chris Sale for Vaughn Grissom last December, it wasn’t a deal made with 2024 in mind. Instead, it was a trade made with the future in mind.
Grissom, 23, is under team control for this season and five more after that, ineligible for free agency until after the 2029 season. The Red Sox believed that they were acquiring their second baseman of the present and future.
