The Detroit Tigers are close to a deal with free agent outfielder Robbie Grossman, according to a report from Cody Stavenhagen and Ken Rosenthal, both from The Athletic. The reported contract would be worth a total of $10 million over two years, a slight raise over the $3.75 million Grossman made (well, would have made if, you know) with the Oakland Athletics in 2020.
Grossman, 31, has already spent time with five MLB organizations; Detroit would be his sixth. He was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2008, and made Baseball Prospectus’ top 100 prospects list in 2012 before making his MLB debut with the Houston Astros in 2013.
