Back to EpisodesTigers Release Slater, Vet Outfielder Seeks New Team
Description
The Detroit Tigers released outfielder Austin Slater after he opted out of his minor-league contract, despite his strong performance in spring training. Slater, a versatile veteran with a history of success against left-handed pitchers, was praised by manager A.J. Hinch. However, the Tigers already have similar options in Jahmai Jones and Matt Vierling, and no injuries created a roster spot for Slater. He is now free to seek opportunities elsewhere as the Tigers finalize their Opening Day lineup.
