"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.


Translation "I got no other offers and Detroit overpaid me."

 

[Mitchrapp]

I just saw he is the first FA to sign a multi-year deal with Detroit since 2015-16. No wonder we suck.

The Tigers signed Robbie Grossman on Tuesday, but fellow outfielders Adam Duvall and Nomar Mazara were on their radar before then, Jason Beck of MLB.com tweets.
Both Duvall and Mazara became available when their respective teams (Braves, White Sox) non-tendered them last month. Neither player performed as well as Grossman did in 2020, however. Grossman?s tool aren?t flashy, but he?s a smart player who takes what he?s given. He owns a .359 OBP across the last six seasons, a skill he flashed again last season with a solid 10.9 percent walk rate. He also avoids mistakes in the field: as Beck points out, Grossman?s 231-game active errorless streak ranks second among outfielders. It should be noted, Grossman?s total package brings a decidedly different skill set from either Duvall or Mazara, both of whom are known more for their power.

I would like them to get some defensive help. Even Grossman is not much of an OF as far as defense goes. I can't remember the last time we had a good defensive OF.

Point taken though Castellanos was solid. The defense and the k's drove his value down.

Looks like the Indians traded Lindor and Carrasco for a couple of scrub SS and the Mets #9 & #10 prospects
