The Marlins on Tuesday signed veteran outfielder Curtis Granderson to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training.
Given his track record, Granderson figures prominently in the mix of outfielders to land an Opening Day roster spot.
Granderson, 37, has spent 15 years in the majors with six different teams. He owns a career .252 batting average with 332 home runs. Last season, Granderson hit .242 with 13 home runs for the Brewers and Blue Jays.
Granderson could also provide a left-handed bat to a lineup that is predominately right-handed.
