Detroit Tigers boost their bullpen with Andrew Chafin.

Lefties hit .170 against him in 104 plate appearances and righties hit .196 in 162 plate appearances with 43 strikeouts. Power wise, lefties hit just one home run off him. His slider generated an impressive 54% Whiff rate and batters hit just .092.

Chafin benefited from some extreme luck last year, with a .232 batting average on balls in play and an 86.1% left-on-base percentage (league average for relievers was .288 and 71.5%), so his 1.83 ERA is unsustainable. That said, his 2.98 FIP, 1.4 fWAR, and 2.9 bWAR would have easily led a 2021 Detroit Tigers bullpen that ranked in the bottom third of baseball. And there?s one more benefit to this signing.

Locked On Detroit Tigers Podcast: Tigers 5th Starter + Spring Training + YOUTUBE. 40 minutes.

WE ARE LIVE ON YOUTUBE BABY. WELCOME! Today we discuss Tyler Alexander and if he can be an everyday fifth starter, possible options to bring in for that role if Alexander can't, Spring Training news and notes, and where we think the Tigers will finish the season in the American League Central Division.
 
Tigers GM Al Avila said no service time games w/ Tork and Greene.

"I'm not arrogant enough to think that I can hold a guy back because we're going to make the playoffs anyway. You go full bore from Day 1 because those games at the beginning can mean everything at the end."

Tigers GM Al Avila on trading prospects: "It's taken a lot of work to build up the farm system. So we're going to be very careful. Now, if there's a trade there to be made that makes a lot of sense for us, we're not afraid to trade a prospect or two. But we want to be careful."

Al Avila also said the Tigers aren?t done looking for another acquisition.
Mentioned they?ve been in on trade talks involving prospects.

Al Avila asked about ownership and money. ?there haven?t been any restrictions.?
