Rangers reacquire switch-hitting OF Robbie Grossman in a trade with the White Sox

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.
