MESA, Ariz. — The A’s have had a knack for acquiring quality talent late into free agency over the past couple of years, and Robbie Grossman was their latest find.
The A’s officially announced Grossman’s signing to a one-year deal Friday morning, which continues their trend of players they did not believe would be available by this point falling into their laps, much like Jonathan Lucroy did last spring after games had already begun.
With the slow developing free agent market littered with quality players who are still unemployed, Grossman was glad to not only find a team but one that has a serious chance to compete for the playoffs and more.
