how many more years is Grandal under contract? 

This isn't just him. Collins does it too. It's something I've rarely seen until last season.

Hopefully Hamilton, he has been literally the worst hitter in baseball for years now

That’s true, but I like him better as a late inning defensive replacement for Vaughn and pinch runner than say Leury.  To me, Leury doesn’t do much other than be able to provide well below average offense at a lot of positions.

Grandal is easily one of my least favorite Sox players of all time.

Very easy to dislike really, even moreso because of the albatross of an anchor he puts on a payroll that gets nerfed from the start by ownership.

If you compare Gradal's production and contract to other players you'll be disappointed because he's a catcher and even slightly above average offense from a catcher costs a premium. Look at what McCann got.

Yasmani Grandal is 25% better than league average offensively as a catcher.  I totally get being frustrated by his defense, but calling his contract an albatross isn’t remotely true.

People hate high walk/high strikeout guys. Everyone wants to trade for Gallo, but I can guarantee that he will be the most hated guy once he wears a sox jni

And I get it to some extent, but those walks are super valuable, especially when you’re talking about a catcher.  And you’re right, Gallo would definitely be hated around here for the same reasons, although Yasmani deserves to be ripped for certain elements of his defense.  I won’t give him a free pass there.
