The defending World Series champions also were nearing a deal for Houston Astros right-hander Jake Odorizzi, sources told ESPN's Jeff Passan, confirming multiple reports.

Grossman, 32, was not in the lineup Monday night, when the Tigers lost 5-3 at the Minnesota Twins. He is hitting .205 this season, with two home runs and 23 RBIs in 83 games.

"I had a blast playing for the Tigers, and it didn't end how I wanted it to, but it's part of this business and I'm on to the next chapter in my baseball career," Grossman said.
