Among the player-personnel decisions the Detroit Tigers face this offseason, perhaps the toughest comes behind the plate.
And when the team makes a final decision on James McCann’s fate, the answer could have more to do with Grayson Greiner than McCann.
Greiner’s offseason, however, has gotten off to an inauspicious start.
After complaining of right wrist soreness following his first Dominican Winter League game, Greiner returned to the United States and was evaluated in Lakeland, Fla. The diagnosis: A small bone chip in his right wrist, which will be surgically removed next week. The recovery time is three-to-four weeks.
