'Out of the blue': Trio of Tigers prospects pumped to get their call to the big leagues

Chicago — Isaac Paredes had no earthly idea how to find the Tigers’ charter airplane hanger Sunday. Heck, even if you’ve been there before it’s hard to find. Excited as he was — it was his first big-league flight — he left plenty early.

Too early.

“I didn’t know where I should be,” he said, through Tigers interpreter Carlos Guillen. “I found a guy who speaks Spanish and he said I had to wait, I was way too early.”

Paredes may only be 21, but he’s got survival skills. He immediately texted teammate Casey Mize to get the 411 on how to get to the plane.
