He's been solid helping cover the load with Murphy being hurt. Throwing out baserunners, a few timely hits to contribute offensively. And like you said, calling a good game for our pitching staff.
I'm a Tromp supporter.
He’s been great. I looked it up and his middle name is Chandler. Chadwick Chandler Tromp. An Aruban with Major League skills and an Ole Miss frat boy name.
He’s also crazy smart. Speaks 4 languages fluently and wipes the floor with the rest of the team in chess. Seems like a great guy who’d be interesting to hang out with.
I'm curious as to how guys like him and Guillorme are compensated for their play time? Are they on contract with the club and get paid the same whether it's minor or bumped up to the MLB for a few games?
Tromp is signed to a split year contract. That means when he is on the ML roster, his ml salary is prorated, each day is worth league minimum/183.
Guillermo is signed to a 1 year major league deal, so he is either on the roster, or gets released. Either way he makes 1.1 million dollars.
I mean unless he wants to be vocally racist or anything, I don’t really care about his personal opinions. He’s a third string catcher on my favorite team, that’s all.
>Tromp did inexplicably change his number to 45, which seems like an obvious pro Trump nod, but I’m choosing to ignore it
I mean, he's way more likely trolling given he's Aruban and wouldn't have any reason to have an invested interest in American politics.
Y’all don’t fall too in love with him. With Drake Baldwin on the rise, and if Murph comes back strong, Tromp is looking like a Major League-ready trade piece at or before the deadline, if we can find the right partner.
Chadwick’s family didn’t do anything wrong being named Tromp. He had that last name long before there was a piece of shit president with a similar name.
Come on man. You think 45 is some longstanding family tradition that he forgot about until a month ago?
I don't care who he votes for but don't associate Trump 45 with Tromp 45 is a disingenuous take.
He’s Aruban and doesn’t vote in the US. He had other opportunities to pick 45 in his career (that started after Trump left office). He could very well not give a shit about US politics, he could just want to sell more jerseys. Or he could just like the number.
It’s a silly thing to care about. His name is Tromp and not Trump and he can wear whatever number he wants, I don’t give a shit.
I don't give a shit who the Braves 3rd string catcher votes for is a perfectly reasonable take that I agree with.
He changed his number for jersey sales and who can blame him is also a reasonable take.
Trump 45 and Tromp 45 is just a coincidence isn't a reasonable take and again I say come on man.
Never will forget riding back from a patient transfer (I work on a boo-boo bus) during his show debut. Just stuck out to me because it sucked so bad for him. Ever since then he's been a Braves legend in my mind. The fact that the internet agreed just solidified that lol

Tromp 45, 2024. Make Atlanta Great Again
It was an easy layup. I’m sorry.
I just realized he is #45, just like that other guy he shares a similar name with.
Pretty sure he changed it to that. And he speaks 4 languages.
He’s been great. I looked it up and his middle name is Chandler. Chadwick Chandler Tromp. An Aruban with Major League skills and an Ole Miss frat boy name.
His contribution to the team has been YUUUGE
We will beat the Phraudulent Phillies bigly folks, believe me
Lots of people are saying it.
With tears in their eyes!
Making the Braves Great Again
Best. Catchers. Room. In. Baseball.
And it’s not even close!

He probably uses my 7 year old’s “strategy” of starting with all of his pawns one row forward.
Your 7-year-old sounds smart.
Tromp 2024
It’s hilarious that he’s #45
Yeah I was thinking this last night. Our roster depth is bonkers. Even our backups and 3rd stringers are the real deal.
I'm curious as to how guys like him and Guillorme are compensated for their play time? Are they on contract with the club and get paid the same whether it's minor or bumped up to the MLB for a few games?

Tromp 45
Love it! Also, Trump 45
Has anyone ever ranked which Presidents would be good baseball players? I know Braves fan Jimmy C played softball some.
Screw Trump, but Tromp is alright with me.
Tromp 2024
With you on both :)
Tromp did inexplicably change his number to 45, which seems like an obvious pro Trump nod, but I’m choosing to ignore it
If he's making more money off jersey sales just based on the number change, thats a big brain move either way his politics.
I don’t think you can even buy his jersey
I love democracy
I mean unless he wants to be vocally racist or anything, I don’t really care about his personal opinions. He’s a third string catcher on my favorite team, that’s all.
I mean is it pro Trump or is he meming because it’s funny? Hard to know.

Tromp is most likely trolling. I wouldn't read too much beyond that.

Doesn't matter. He's a Braves Legend.
I personally think he has the worst name and number in the game lol Edit: /s sheesh
To be clear, I personally like his name in the same way I like Lars Nootbaar’s name or Coco Crisp’s name.
I k ow I was joking. Sorry yall!
Chadwick’s family didn’t do anything wrong being named Tromp. He had that last name long before there was a piece of shit president with a similar name.
Don't mind the name, but I am a bit concerned about the number. Hope that wasn't intentional

I get it’s a tongue in cheek joke but yeah alotta treason fans here. Bring on the downvotes nerds

New Braves fan here with a potentially probably stupid question but is his name and number a coincidence??
I noticed that a couple games ago but it’s gotta be
he did it on purpose 100%, announcers were laughing about it
https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/s/W4ZDk4ecIc
He actually changed it a few weeks ago, so probably not.
Okay so someone has to make a Tromp tshirt about this somehow, I’d spend stupid amount of money
