MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Fulmer sat in the visiting clubhouse at Target Field for most of Tuesday afternoon, waiting to find out his destination.

Minneapolis — What kind of pitcher did the Tigers get from the Braves in exchange for the last two months of Robbie Grossman’s contract in Detroit? Might want to check back in a few years. In left-hander Kris Anglin, they are getting essentially a raw slab of clay they hope can be molded and developed into
