The Detroit Tigers have resigned second baseman Jonathan Schoop to a one-year contract worth $4.5 million according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. The reunion gives the team a veteran presence in the infield with a dwindling selection of options on the free agent market, and at a price tag that fits the club’s shrinking payroll.
Schoop posted a respectable slash line of .278/.324/.435 for a weighted on-base average of .340 and a wRC+ of 114 (100 being average) with 8 home runs in 177 plate appearances. He was one of the few position players on the team who performed above league average at his position, appearing in 44 games and finishing the season on the injured list with a sprained right wrist.
