It might seem harsh to call Detroit Tigers’ righty Michael Fulmer “semi-forgotten”. The announcement of him needing Tommy John Surgery was only in the Spring of 2019. Not that long ago…
After all, he was once considered a prime trade deadline acquisition from the Mets when the Tigers shopped All-Star Yoenis Cespedes in 2015. Fulmer went into party-crasher mode winning Rookie of the Year in 2016.
