Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila struck two trades at this season’s deadline. First, he flipped outfielder Leonys Martin to the AL central rival Cleveland Indians in exchange for infield prospect Willi Castro. Then, Avila waited until a few days into August to send right-hander Mike Fiers to the Oakland A’s in exchange for two players to be named later.
The first PTBNL was announced shortly after: right-handed reliever Nolan Blackwood ended up tossing eight innings for Double-A Erie after coming over from Oakland’s Double-A affiliate.
Now, the team has announced that the second PTBNL is right-hander Logan Shore, completing the deal.
