Tigers to call up Jeff Ferrell for relief help
The Tigers are about to get a bullpen shakeup, beginning with converted starter Jeff Ferrell. Whether it’s a matter of fresh arms for a taxed bullpen, or something longer-term, remains to be seen.
The Tigers are giving Ferrell his first shot at the big leagues, purchasing his contract from Triple-A Toledo. Credit John Wagner of the Toledo Blade with the first report. The Tigers have not officially announced the move, but multiple sources have confirmed, as did Ferrell to The Blade.
“I don’t know what to expect. I was pretty shocked. It hasn’t hit me yet [that I’m going up to #Tigers].” ~Ferrell (1 of 2)
