The Marlins have signed Gabe Gross to a minor league contract, reports MLB.com's Joe Frisaro (on Twitter). Like the Chris Sampson deal, this one is pending a physical.
Gross, 31, asked the Mariners for his release in March after having a poor Spring Training. He hit just .239/.290/.311 for the A's last year, and is a .239/.330/.385 hitter in 1,680 career plate appearances. Gross' defense in right field has been particularly strong, though.
Time to stock up I guess
gross…
it only pays to have good defense at a non-good defensive position and poor offense in an offensively strong position.
yah go ahead and ad sign people in there thirties to minor league contracts
Player asks for release after posting a spring training line remarkably close to career averages
Good player off the bench.
Woah. The Marlins are getting busy today.
Maybe we combine this post with the Sampson one? No disrespect to either player.
