That was some wave of job promotions the Detroit Tigers made Friday.
A dozen farm prospects were bumped to a higher rung in Detroit’s chain, all because, in the team’s mind, they had earned it, and because the Tigers want them to at least taste tougher competition before the minor-league regular season closes in two weeks.
Those getting tickets to the next level included:
Daz Cameron, Troy Montgomery, Brock Deatherage, Parker Meadows, and Matthew Jarecki, all outfielders; infielders Kody Clemens, Wenceel Perez, Reece Hampton, Jose King, and Herlis Rodriguez; as well as pitchers Alfred Gutierrez and Alfredo Silva.
