DETROIT -- The Tigers have acquired outfielder Mikie Mahtook from the Tampa Bay Rays for a player to be named or cash.
Detroit announced the trade Wednesday and designated outfielder Anthony Gose for assignment.
Mahtook, a first-round draft pick in 2011, hit .195 with three home runs and 11 RBI in 65 games for the Rays last season. He played 41 games in 2015 for Tampa Bay and hit .295 with nine homers and 19 RBI.
Mahtook joins a Detroit organization that traded center fielder Cameron Maybin earlier this offseason.
