Grant Anderson's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

The Texas Rangers have traded relief pitcher Grant Anderson to the Milwaukee Brewers in exchange for Mason Molina. The 27-year-old was designated for assignment by the Rangers earlier in the week. It didn't take the Rangers long to find Anderson a new home. Anderson made it to the MLB last season, but struggled to the tune of a 8.10 ERA, 1.61 WHIP, and 29/10 K/BB ratio. He figures to get a chance to prove himself during spring training. As for Molina, he's a 21-year-old former seventh-round pick that made his professional debut last season. He only pitched in two games in Single-A ball, so it'll be a few years before the Rangers see the results of this trade.

According to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, the Texas Rangers have designated right-handed pitcher Grant Anderson for assignment to open a roster spot for Joc Pederson. Anderson has spent the past two seasons in the Texas organization. Last summer, through 26 2/3 innings of work, the 27-year-old posted an 8.10 ERA with a 1.60 WHIP. He struck out batters at a modest 24.2% rate but generated a poor 5.18 xERA and a .261 xBA. In 2023, Anderson carried a 5.10 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP through 35 2/3 innings of work. In 74 1/3 career innings at Triple-A, Anderson has posted a 3.87 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP. If Anderson were to find a new club, he would likely operate a low-leverage relief option.
