Things are not looking awesome for the Tigers in the center field department.
While Ron Gardenhire was quick to tell reporters on Tuesday that he saw JaCoby Jones as the Tigers every day center fielder going into 2020 spring training, the fact is there are still two months of games to be played in 2019, and someone will need to replace Jones in the interim.
After Tuesday’s game, where we watched a collision between Brandon Dixon and Niko Goodrum result in a bounced-out three-run home run, it was pretty clear that Goodrum — usually an infielder — was not likely to be the Tigers’ go-to guy.
