The Detroit Tigers are winning the race for the 2020 number overall pick in the MLB draft and their fans are losing.
Farhan Zaidi has done well with finding helpful pieces on the cheap, while incrementally building a teamAnother byproduct of the Orioles and Giants use of the waiver wire as mentioned before is they both have created Minor League depth by continually placing claims on available players. When things haven’t worked out for those players, the teams ultimately designate those players for assignment.
Either way, this idea of “stashing” players in the Minor Leagues has helped both teams create depth and flexibility for the entire upper half of their respective organizations. The Tigers have the worst record in baseball, therefore they have priority over every team to make a claim on any of these players. The reason they did not claim any of these players is because if they do claim a player, they also claim the remainder of their salaries.
Let’s go back to the list of players who were recently waived by their teams. What do a majority of those players have in common? Major League contracts. Inexpensive ones, but still more than the Tigers are willing to pay to potentially make an incremental improvement to the team. I guess in the eyes of ownership they already spent some money in the offseason, so they don't have to spend any more money during the season.
