While the Atlanta Braves enjoyed an off day on Thursday in preparation of their weekend series with the Arizona Diamondbacks, they received a piece of news about a former player who spent parts of five seasons in their organization.
According to multiple reports, catcher Chadwick Tromp, who recently became a free agent and spent a brief period of time on the Braves roster this season, has signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers on a minors pact.

Chadwick Tromp is now a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers organization, and he has since been assigned to AAA Oklahoma City.
He has also briefly played with the Baltimore Orioles, but his five years with the Atlanta Braves is the longest stint with one club in his professional career.
Tromp played in at least one game for the Atlanta Braves from 2022 to 2026.
In that time frame, he played in 40 total games and batted .225 over 102 at-bats with 10 doubles, 13 RBI, and an OPS+ of 53.

All in all, Chadwick Tromp has played in parts of seven MLB seasons.
He debuted with the San Francisco Giants in 2020 and then has appeared in 15 games with the Baltimore Orioles over two stints.
Across 221 total ABs in MLB, Tromp has batted .208 with six home runs, 27 RBI, and a lifetime OPS+ of 52.
Speaking to the Dodgers side of this signing, after they released catcher Chuckie Robinson, they were clearly in search of an organizational depth piece behind the plate, and Tromp happened to be the name on their radar.
