The Tigers GM was at it twice Thursday, trading shortstop Eugenio “Mr. Suave” Suarez along with a Whitecap for Cincinnati Reds pitcher Alfredo Simon.
Suarez filled in nicely for our injured shortstop last season who will now be healthy, along with Andrew Romine as a backup. The West Michigan Whitecap was a former first round pick.
It states that Detroit doesn’t want to waste 2015 after making a splash with Yoenis Cespedes. Simon was an all-star starter last season who played mostly in the bullpen until 2014. He solidifies our rotation in case of emergency and helps out our relievers.
……..hopefully some early Christmas presents for Tiger fans …..Mr Rogers’ plows ahead.
