Detroit Tigers trade Robbie Grossman to Atlanta Braves

The Detroit Tigers have made their first trade, just minutes after their latest loss.

On Monday night, after the loss to the Twins in extra innings, the team sent outfielder Robbie Grossman to the Atlanta Braves.

It's not clear yet what the Tigers are getting in return.

Grossman, 32, is suffering arguably the worst season of his 10-year MLB career. The switch-hitter is batting .205 with two home runs and 23 RBIs in 83 games (272 at-bats). He is in the final year of a two-year, $10 million contract.

Still, he can play all three outfield positions and had a 440-game errorless streak snapped just a few weeks ago.
