Jackson Merrill reacts to 30-year-old Padres catcher joining Aguilas Cibaenas of the Dominican Winter League (Getty)
San Diego Padres outfielder Jackson Merrill is coming off a remarkable rookie season for the NL West team in its run to the National League Division Series in 2024. Merrill emerged as one of the most reliable bats not only in a star-studded Padres roster but also in the entire league, thanks to his clutch home runs.
The 21-year-old shares a great bond with his teammates, and the Padres Rookie of the Year had it on display after reacting to the news of catcher Brett Sullivan joining the Aguilas Cibaenas of the Dominican Winter League on Wednesday.
Merrill reacted to a clip shared by the Cibaenas announcing their reunion with the 30-year-old catcher. The clip was of Sullivan's previous stint with the team in the Winter League.
"Sullyyyy," a hyped Merrill captioned the post.
