LF-needy Rangers sign veteran switch-hitting OF Robbie Grossman

Veteran switch-hitting outfielder Robbie Grossman signed a one-year contract Friday with the Texas Rangers, who are unsettled in left field.

Grossman’s deal, which could be worth as much as $5 million, came three days before Monday’s full-squad reporting date. His base salary will be $2 million and he could earn as much as $3 million more in incentives.

The Rangers made room on their 40-man roster by placing left-handed reliever Brett Martin on the 60-day injured list. Martin had left shoulder surgery Jan. 18 and is expected to miss most of the 2023 season.

Easy player to root for and gives his all all the time

That said I wasn’t sad to see him leave the As and wouldn’t be excited if my team picked him up. He was basically a fourth outfielder guy who had one year well better than that and is now entering his age 33 season. If guys develop I’d imagine the Rangers would eat the salary. But he’s a decent insurance policy.
