After spending the last five seasons in the Texas Rangers organization, Grant Anderson, of Orange, is headed to a new team.
The Milwaukee Brewers acquired the 27 year old right-handed for minor league left-hander Mason Molina on Thursday. The trade followed the Rangers’ decision to designate Anderson for assignment on Monday.
The McNeese product was 0-1 with an 8.10 ERA and one save in 23 relief appearances for Texas last season. He struck out 29, and walked 10 in 26.2 innings. While pitching for Triple-A Round Rock last season, Anderson was 3-0 with a 2.93 ERA and one save in 26 appearances.
His major league debut in May of 2023 was a memorable one. Anderson pitched 2.2 innings out of the bullpen, allowing one hit and striking out seven batters while not walking any. He became the first reliever in Rangers history to strike out seven in his debut and came within one strikeout of the MLB record for most reliever K’s in a debut.
