5/01/25 Yasmani Grandal makes call on Red Sox' future, but for how long?. Veteran catcher Yasmani Grandal has the ability to opt out of his minor league deal with the Red Sox on Thursday, but instead he plans to stay put at Triple-A Worcester. Other teams have expressed interest in Grandal, according to a source, but his comfort with Red Sox personnel informed his decision to stick it out with the organization for the time being. It's believed the Red Sox would be amenable to granting Grandal his release at any time if the right opportunity presented itself with another club in the majors. The Red Sox signed Grandal, a two-time All-Star, shortly after starting catcher Connor Wong suffered a pinky fracture on April 7, in an effort to add depth to their catching mix.
