The run-up to the 2022 trade deadline was very quiet until the dam finally burst on Monday. The Detroit Tigers weren’t involved in many rumors for most of the day, but finally right after their 10-inning loss to the Minnesota Twins, the first domino fell. Robbie Grossman was traded to the Atlanta Braves for minor league left-hander Kris Anglin according to multiple reports.
The 32-year-old Grossman came to Detroit on a two-year deal worth ten million dollars in the 2020-2021 offseason. He quickly endeared himself to a beleaguered fanbase with a very well-rounded, professional brand of baseball throughout the 2021 campaign.
