But what about other teams? Sometimes we
The Tigers have re-signed right-hander Wilmer Flores and infielder/outfielder Eddys Leonard to minor league deals, reports Evan Petzold of the Detroit Free Press. Flores will make $1MM if he is in the majors while Leonard would get the $760K league minimum. Neither player has any major league experience but both were on the Tigers’ 40-man roster
Right-hander Wilmer Flores and infielder Eddys Leonard were both Top 30 prospects in the Tigers’ system earlier this year who might have joined the many other prospects to debut in Detroit in 2024 if not for injuries. Both were designated for assignment and became free agents last month to open spots on Detroit’s 40-man roster.
