The MLB Immaculate Grid for August 6 features an intersection between the Detroit Tigers and the Tampa Bay Rays. It's up to trivia enthusiasts to find out which players represented both teams.
The Tigers and Rays have had plenty of crossover, despite Tampa Bay being a relatively young franchise.
CJ Cron is a good, modern answer to this query. He's been on a lot of teams, most recently the Colorado Rockies prior to his trade to the Los Angeles Angels. Nevertheless, he played for the Tigers in 2020 and was on the Rays in 2018.
Here are the other players who qualify for this section of MLB Immaculate Grid:
- Joaquin Benoit (reliever who played for several teams, including these two)
- Kyle Farnsworth (reliever who bounced around with several teams, including these two)
- Matt Joyce (journeyman slugger, spent 2009-2014 with Rays after beginning career in Detroit)
- Isaac Paredes (currently on the Rays, began career with Tigers)
- Drew Smyly (veteran pitcher who has played on many teams)
Johnny Damon is another good answer. The longtime Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals star played for Tampa in 2011 and in Detroit the year prior. These were brief stints, but it's more than enough to qualify him for the grid.
