Well there was a fair bit of speculation over the weekend as to whether the Tigers would make a move to shore up the outfield with Riley Greene down for as much as two months or more. There didn’t appear to be much available in the center field department, but the Tigers found another path here. General Manager Al Avila saw the need, and made a nice move, acquiring outfielder Austin Meadows from the Tampa Bay Rays to fill the void.
The cost was infielder Isaac Paredes, who has struggled to develop after early success as a prospect, as well as the Tigers Comp B round pick in the 2022 draft.
