Detroit Tigers Option Wynton Bernard—What it Means

The Detroit Tigers continue to make roster moves. After the somewhat-surprising release of Bobby Parnell (you know, given the depleted bullpen), Detroit made another somewhat-surprising move. Detroit sent center fielder Wynton Bernard to Triple-A on Tuesday.

The Tigers announced the move on Twitter.

Coming into Spring Training, Bernard was a dark horse candidate to make the team due to his speed and on-base skills. The 25-year-old has the ability to change games on the base paths with his blistering pace. During his two seasons in the Detroit minor league system, Bernard has stolen 88 basses in 266 games.
