The Detroit Tigers made one of their most anticipated roster moves of the season on Thursday in selecting right-handed reliever John Schreiber from Triple-A Toledo. Schreiber, a former 15th round pick out of the University of Northwestern Ohio, has been something of a folk hero in the Tigers farm system after a dominant season at Single-A West Michigan back in 2017. He skipped straight to Double-A in 2018, and has spent most of the 2019 season in Toledo.
While Schreiber’s name is well-known among those paying close attention to the Tigers farm system, he will be a new face to many.
