When Eric Haase came to the Tigers just before the start of the 2020 season, his career was on thin ice. As a 27 year old without a real prospect pedigree who had never seen the major leagues for more than 10 games in a season, the Tigers were able to pick him up from Cleveland for cash considerations. While the amount of money that exchanged hands between the organizations was never revealed, in almost every case, it essentially amounts to nothing and merely serves to circumvent the waiver wire process.
Almost two years later, Haase has pulled off a Lazarus act.
