Another year, another less-than-stellar bullpen for the Detroit Tigers in 2018. While it’s true they aren’t playing for anything this season, it never hurts to look for ways to improve the roster. One such opportunity has arisen after the Cleveland Indians designated veteran right-hander Zach McAllister for assignment over the weekend.
McAllister, 30, was one of the longest tenured members of Cleveland’s organization. He came to them in 2010 as a player to be named later. Although he struggled to find his footing as a big league starter, he thrived in the bullpen.
From 2014-2017, McAllister tossed 183.
