Granderson played in Detroit from 2004 to 2009, before being traded to the Yankees in a massive three-team deal that brought Phil Coke, Max Scherzer and Autin Jackson to Detroit. He then spent seven years in New York with both the Yankees and the Mets, followed by stints with several other teams.
Granderson finishes his career with a .249 batting average, 344 home runs, and 937 RBI.
