The Tigers announced a flurry of roster moves this afternoon. Chief among those was the teams decision to exercise their 2024 club options on catcher and outfielder . In addition, the club designated left-hander for a signment, a signed left-hander and right-hander outright to Triple-A, and selected the contract of right-hander . There had been no prior indication that Vasquez or Wingenter had been on waivers, but each of them now figures to have the opportunity to become a minor league free agent. In addition, the Tigers activated Alexander, outfielders and , as well as right-handers and from the 60-day IL. It comes as no surprise that the Tigers exercised their $11.5MM option for Canha after they the veteran outfielder on Saturday. Given the $2MM buyout on his contract, it wouldnt have made any sense for Detroit to trade for Canha (and give up 25-year-old righty ) only to part ways with him two days later. He figures to play an important Andrew Saalfrank Jersey role in the teams offense next season, presumably splitting his time between the corner outfield and DH. As for Kelly, the Tigers were to pick up his $3.5MM option for 2024. At his , president of baseball operations Scott Harris said the team was seriously considering keeping the backstop in the fold. The team already has a starting catcher in place, 28-year-old , so Kelly can serve as a capable defensive backup, with the potential to be a little bit more the former top prospect is only two years removed from an above-average season at the plate. For $3.5MM, the Tigers werent going to find much more than that. Alexander, 29, made 25 appearances for the Tigers in 2023, his first full season as a reliever. He pitched to a 4.50 ERA and a career-best 3.48 SIERA in 44 innings of work. Unfortunately, his solid season came to an early end when he landed on the IL with a shoulder strain in July. Vasquez spent the first four months of the season with the Phillies, with whom he posted an impre sive 2.27 ERA but le s promising underlying numbers. He was designated for a signment shortly after the trade deadline, and the Tigers scooped him up. Unfortunately, he couldnt find the same succe s in Detroit. Acro s 12 appearances, he gave up nine runs (eight earned) in just 8 2/3 innings of work. He mi sed most of September with a calf injury, although he made two scorele s appearances at the end of the month. After spending most of the first half on the injured list, Wingenter made 17 appearances for the Tigers in 2023, his first big league action since 2019. His 5.82 ERA was troublesome, but his underlying metrics were actually quite encouraging: a 3.43 SIERA, a 3.87 xERA, and a much-improved 3.14 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Then again, he produced those numbers in mostly low-leverage spots, and apparently, the Tigers werent impre sed enough with what they saw to keep Wingenter on the 40-man roster. After seven years in Detroits minor league system, Montero would have been eligible to elect minor league free agency had the Tigers not added him to the 40-man roster this afternoon. He is coming off a difficult couple of months at Triple-A, but he is still just 23 years old, and evidently, the Tigers like what they have seen enough to keep him around. According to , he is the No. 26 prospect in the Tigers system. Noe Ramirez Jersey
