Detroit – No sense sugarcoating it, the past six months have amounted to a wasted opportunity for Tigers third base prospect Isaac Paredes.
And through no fault of his own.
In the 11 months since his season ended at Double-A Erie – where he batted .282, hit 13 home runs, knocked in 66 runs and jumped to No. 5 on the Tigers’ prospect list (per MLBPipeline.com) – he missed most of spring training in Lakeland with a sore right shoulder, contracted the COVID-19 virus during the shutdown and has just this week been cleared to report to camp at Comerica Park.
