Yasmani Grandal, a native of Havana, Cuba, is a decorated catcher. Grandal immigrated to the United States with his mother at age 10. After settling in Florida, he continued his baseball career close to home, at the University of Miami. There, Yasmani developed into one of the team’s star players, leading him to be selected in the first round of the 2010 MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds. He made his major league debut with the San Diego Padres in 2012.

In his 11 seasons in the majors, Yasmani has played for the San Diego Padres, Los Angeles Dodgers, Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago White Sox. Each experience has helped Yasmani establish himself as one of the best catchers in the game. The 2x All-Star helped lead the Dodgers to consecutive World Series appearances in 2017 and 2018, and following the 2019 season, he signed the biggest contract in Chicago White Sox history.

In the offseason, Yasmani resides in Phoenix, Arizona, with his wife Heather and their two children.
