The Detroit Tigers were ready to move on.
The Tigers, in an effort to balance their lineup offensively and defensively, parted ways with infielder Jonathan Schoop. The 11-year MLB veteran was officially designated for assignment by the Tigers — still owed about $3.5 million — before Saturday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays at Comerica Park.
Schoop, who joined the Tigers for the 2020 season, learned of the organization's decision to cut him after Friday's 12-2 loss to the Blue Jays in a meeting with manager A.
