Detroit Tigers Minor League Notes

Tigers prospect Ryan Kreidler may know a few things about position changes, as the longtime shortstop saw Javier Baez suddenly emerge as a roadblock after Baez landed in the Motor City on a six-year, $140MM deal.

While Baez can opt out of that contract after the 2023 season, Kreidler will likely be focusing on other positions in the interim ? he has played a handful of games at third base and second base during his two minor league seasons. ?I will do whatever the Tigers want me to do, whether it?s shortstop, shortstop and third base, or utility?.

?Whatever they deem me capable of doing I will do it to the best of my ability and just keep trucking?I think shortstops have the ability to play all over the field, that?s why continuing to take reps at shortstop is good for me.? After a strong performance at the plate in 2021, Kreidler drew the attention of prospect evaluators and other teams, and now looks like yet another promising young Detroit player on the cusp of the big leagues.

Jonathan Schoop and Jeimer Candelario have second and third base spoken for, and are both also controlled through 2023, so a utility role might indeed be Kreidler?s best path to the Tigers? active roster.
