The Detroit Tigers announced a series of roster moves on Thursday afternoon to clear space on their 40-man roster. The big ones? Catcher John Hicks, righthander Victor Alcantara, and left-handed pitchers Daniel Stumpf and Blaine Hardy have refused outright assignments to Triple-A Toledo and are now free agents. Additionally, Detroit has outrighted right-handed pitchers Eduardo Jiménez and Zac Reininger, left-handed pitcher Nick Ramirez and outfielder Dustin Peterson to Triple-A Toledo.
The most notable name on this list is, of course, Hardy.
