Tigers Release Jonathan Schoop
1 year agoThe Detroit Tigers released veteran infielder Jonathan Schoop on Wednesday. Schoop cleared waivers after the team designated him for assignment last Friday, and now he'll hit the open market. The 31-year-old just didn't have any success with the bat in the first half of the 2023 season with Detroit, slashing .213/.278/.272 with no home runs, eight doubles, seven RBI and 15 runs scored in 151 trips to the plate and 55 games. The career .254 hitter had his lone 30-home run season back in 2017 with the Baltimore Orioles, when he was selected to his only All-Star game. Schoop hit 22 home runs two years ago with the Tigers, but he's pretty much fallen off the fantasy radar since then. He'll be hoping to sign a minor-league deal with another team for the second half.
