However, a South Florida resident told the Marlins he was willing to play, which eventually led to a contract.<\/p>\n<p>While the Tigers ultimately failed to acquire Segura, it&#8217;s worth noting that they were looking to upgrade their lineup through free agency as they may pivot to their remaining options. Considering how disastrous the club&#8217;s offense was last year, the fact that they&#8217;re looking to improve should come as no surprise. Overall, they posted .231\/.286\/.346 with a wRC+ of 81, the lowest in the Major.<\/p>\n<p>Up until this point in the offseason, their focus has been on the pitching side.they signed <strong>Matthew Boyd<\/strong> When <strong>Michael Lorenzen<\/strong> The most important move on the part of the position player to strengthen the rotation is <strong>Tyler Nevin<\/strong> From the Orioles.While they can expect a ricochet campaign from players like <strong>Javier Baez<\/strong>, <strong>Austin Meadows<\/strong> When <strong>Akil Badu<\/strong>it also makes sense to look for external additions.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, Detroit&#8217;s infielder is likely to feature <strong>Spencer Torkelson<\/strong> at first, <strong>Jonathan Scoop<\/strong> Doubles, Baez hits, and triples are more likely to fall <strong>Ryan Kreidler<\/strong>The hot corner is <strong>Jamer Candelario<\/strong> Until he was not bid and signed by the Nationals. Kreidler played second, third and shortstop last year and was a potential successor to Candelario, Nevin said. <strong>Zach Short<\/strong>, <strong>Kody Clemens<\/strong>, <strong>Andy Ibanez<\/strong> Also <strong>Andr\u00e9 Lipsius<\/strong> is 40 people, so you can take that into account as well.<\/p>\n<p>Segura could have fit into the mix in a few different ways. He&#8217;s played primarily as a second baseman for the last few years and could have hit the first baseman who played most of 2021 with the scoop. An incredible +27 grade, the best of all fielders in the league. Segura was also a strong second defender and could have given the club a good infield right flank. <strong>Miguel Cabrera<\/strong> from the lineup for what is likely to be his last season.<\/p>\n<p>Another possibility would have been for the Tigers to simply put Segura at third base. In that scenario, Kreidler could have been moved to a utility role or reverted to the minors. He batted just .178\/.244\/.233 in 26 games. So it makes sense to at least have a backup plan in place in case his struggle continues. The same goes for Torkelson, who has a .203\/.285\/.319 batting average in his first 110 games in the major leagues.<\/p>\n<p>Segura is the latest in a string of infielders also associated with the Tigers. The club also <strong>Adam Fraser<\/strong> Currently signed with the Orioles <strong>Will Myers<\/strong> Who will join the Reds in 2023? <strong>Brian Anderson<\/strong> was still included in the list of available targets. The Tigers missed Segura, Myers and Frazier, so they can either go back to Anderson or look to other free-agent infielders. <strong>Josh Harrison<\/strong>, <strong>Donovan Solano<\/strong> Also <strong>gritty smell<\/strong>None of those players are likely to break the bank and the Tigers should have a little headroom on their payroll. South of the $10,000 Opening Day figure is $124 million.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/5067886\/300x250_2_MLB -->\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiXGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm1sYnRyYWRlcnVtb3JzLmNvbS8yMDIzLzAxL3RpZ2Vycy1wdXJzdWVkLWplYW4tc2VndXJhLXByaW9yLXRvLW1hcmxpbnMtZGVhbC5odG1s0gEA?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Marlins and infielders Jean Segura Last week, he agreed to a two-year, $17 million deal, but the Tigers also seemed interested in his services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3989,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3988","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/jean-segura-phillies-1024x683.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3988","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3988"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3988\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3989"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3988"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3988"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3988"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
