The Detroit Tigers added depth on Tuesday morning with the signing of Casey McGehee. The move, which was later confirmed by the team’s official public relations Twitter account, gives the Tigers more options where the bench is concerned.
Manager Brad Ausmus was quoted in an article published by MLive.com talking about the depth McGehee brings, saying, “We could use a third baseman, quite frankly… Not necessarily at the major league level. Maybe in Toledo. We could use it. And he’s got major league experience.”
In other words, Nick Castellanos job is safe, but McGehee could still make an impact off the bench should he earn a place on the 25-man roster.
