Detroit acquired McKinstree.
MLB.com, the official MLB website, reported on March 28 (Korean time) that the Detroit Tigers had acquired infielder Jack McKinstree from the Chicago Cubs.
Detroit traded minor league right-hander Carlos Guzman to the Cubs for McKinstree. The trade was officially announced.
Born in 1995, right-handed left-hander McKinstree is a utility player who can play second base, third base, shortstop, and corner outfield. His main position is second baseman, but he also has a lot of third base experience.
McKinstree was selected by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 33rd round of the 2016 draft and made his big league debut in 2020. He played for the Dodgers until being traded to the Cubs last summer. His career performance in three big league seasons was .208/.269/.384 with 12 home runs, 43 RBIs and 8 stolen bases in 121 games. He lacks sophistication and vision, but he has mid-to-long range hitting ability and quick feet. 온라인바카라
Detroit wanted a left-handed infielder. There are many left-handed hitters in the outfield, but in the infield, Javier Baez, Jonathan Scoop, Spencer Torkelson, and Ryan Cradler were all right-handed hitters. In addition, as infielder Tyler Nevin is likely to start the season on the injured list, left-handed hitter McKinstree with utility skills was recruited to expand the range of player appointments.
