The Texas Rangers reacquired one of their World Series players on Wednesday, landing switch-hitting outfielder Robbie Grossman in a trade from the Chicago White Sox.
Grossman is expected to return to a familiar role with the Rangers, getting at-bats as a designated hitter or outfielder against left-handed pitchers.
“Historically, a very good platoon split guy from the right side, an area that we need a little assistance,” general manager Chris Young said in a Zoom call with reporters. “Beyond that, the intangibles he brings, the veteran presence, quality of at-bat. He’s exactly what we need.”
Grossman landed in the Bay Area after a cross-country flight from Atlanta and was available off the bench for both games of a doubleheader against the Oakland Athletics. Manager Bruce Bochy didn’t want to alter his planned lineups on short notice or risk an injury for Grossman after a long travel day.
