Minor League free agents might not grab headlines or be as exciting as the big contracts, and for good reason. For the most part they are journeymen or underperformers. Sometimes one of these players can work out. The Detroit Tigers know this in the form of Niko Goodrum. Every so often one of these players that reaches Minor League free agency can be a hot commodity. Enter former St. Louis Cardinal’s outfield prospect, Nick Plummer.
Plummer was recently informed by the Cardinals he wouldn’t make their 40-man roster and thus he elected to become a free agent.
