World Series champion OF is acquired by the Rangers in exchange.
Without one certain player, the Texas Rangers’ chances of winning the 2023 World Series were little to none.
Robbie Grossman, an outfielder, was acquired by the Rangers from the Chicago White Sox, and the team made the announcement on Wednesday. Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa, a righty pitching prospect, is being sent back to Chicago by Texas.
The Rangers won it all last season while Grossman, 34, was a member of the team. In 115 regular season games, he amassed 10 home runs and 49 RBIs while hitting.238 with a.734 OPS. After that, in the off-season, he signed with Chicago, where he has batted.211 in 25 games so far this season.
Despite his struggles for Texas during their previous season in the postseason, Grossman is still a valuable switch hitter who can be used against lefties. This season, the Rangers rank among the worst five AL teams in terms of average versus left-handers at just.235. With Evan Carter platooning in left field, Grossman ought to be able to play both DH and at-bats. That would be beneficial to the Rangers team, who are currently scrapping about the roster due to injuries all over the place.
