Orioles Designate Chadwick Tromp For Assignment
MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- The Orioles have designated catcher Chadwick Tromp for assignment to make room for newly acquired catcher Jake Rogers on their active and 40-man roster.
- Tromp, 31, has served as a defensive backup for both the Orioles and Braves, but has struggled offensively this season with a .163/.160/.184 batting line in 51 plate appearances.
- Known for his defensive skills, Tromp has a strong framing ability and average caught-stealing rates, but his free-swinging approach results in a high strikeout rate and few walks.
- The Orioles have until Monday’s trade deadline to trade Tromp; if not traded, he will be placed on outright waivers and likely assigned to Triple-A Norfolk or elect free agency if he clears waivers again.
- Tromp has cleared waivers five times since Opening Day 2025, indicating limited interest from other teams despite his defensive value.
