2 hours agoThe Athletic's Cody Stavenhagen doesn't have Detroit Tigers infielder Trey Sweeney as a lock to be the team's starting shortstop on Opening Day in late March. Carrying both Sweeney and Zach McKinstry would make the Tigers extremely left-handed and could force outfielder Kerry Carpenter into the lineup against left-handed pitchers. Stavenhagen projects Sweeney opening the 2025 season at Triple-A Toledo, while Javier Baez (hip) and McKinstry share duties at the 6. The bottom line is that the Tigers aren't just going to give the job to the 24-year-old Sweeney, even though he played well late last year to help Detroit get into the playoffs. In a best-case scenario, he could be on the strong side of a platoon at shortstop against right-handed pitchers. Remember, Sweeney had just two hits in 22 at-bats over seven postseason games and probably could use a little more minor-league seasoning.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
