DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers signed outfielder Robbie Grossman to a $10 million, two-year contract, adding a switch-hitting veteran to a rebuilding team coming off consecutive last-place finishes.
The deal includes salaries of $5 million annually plus performance bonuses. Grossman, 31, spent the past two seasons with the A’s. He hit .241 with eight home runs and 23 RBIs in 51 games in the shortened 2020 season.
“I’ve been fortunate to play for some great franchises during my career, and I couldn’t be happier to add the Tigers to that list,” Grossman said. “I’ve been in Detroit a number of times as a visiting player, and know how passionate the city and its fans are for Tigers baseball.
