I tried to tell y’all Grichuk is a great 4th OF option. People just hated his salary. But look at the crap we’re gonna be running out now this season, Tapia/Zimmer… if one of our OFs gets injured things could look ugly.
It was a gesture of goodwill for the FO to trade him so he got steady playtime.
Although the difference between Grich vs Tap/Zim probably amounts to less than a 1 WAR difference
