Detroit Tigers Cut Casey McGehee and Bobby Parnell, Send Bruce Rondon Down

It seems that two of the more intriguing names in camp with the Detroit Tigers will not be making the team. According to a tweet from MLive.com’s Chris Iott, the Tigers “give Casey McGehee and Bobby Parnell unconditional release.” The Tigers official Twitter account later confirmed the moves in a tweet.

Both signed minor league deals with Detroit hoping to latch on at the Major League level. Additionally, both were looking to rebound from disappointing recent seasons.

McGehee hit a mere .198 with a .274 slugging percentage in a 2015 season that saw him split time between the San Francisco Giants and Miami Marlins.
