Grossman signed a one-year contract with the Athletics on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 29-year-old had a solid but unspectacular season with the Twins last season, slashing .273/.367/.384 with five homers and 48 RBI. Grossman will add a veteran presence to a young Oakland outfield, as well as a strong ability to hit left-handed pitching (.859 OPS against southpaws since 2016). Given the latter statistic, he seems like a good platoon candidate with players like Nick Martini and Dustin Fowler, though Grossman's role will likely become clearer as the 25-man roster takes shape this spring.
