The Tigers had interest in right-hander during their trade talks with the Yankees this past summer, reports. The two clubs a provisional agreement involving relatively close to being completed before New York backed out due to concerns over Flahertys medical records, though it should be noted that Heyman didnt directly say that Warren was part of whatever trade package the Yankees were prepared to send to Detroit. Flaherty instead to the Dodgers for two position players, one of whom ( ) ended up playing an important role in the Tigers surprising late-season surge to a wild card berth. Ironically, Warren ended up making his MLB debut on the trade deadline day of July 30, and he posted a 10.32 ERA over his first 22 2/3 innings in the big leagues. He also Willie Cauley-Stein Jersey had a 5.91 ERA over 109 2/3 innings at Triple-A, though his minor league numbers were a little skewed by a nightmarish four-start stretch in May. Scouts and evaluators generally view Warren as a back-end starter or perhaps a long reliever at the MLB level, and while the Yankees naturally want to keep pitching depth on hand, Warren could be a relatively expendable prospect in terms of future trade po sibilities (with Detroit or any other teams). More from around the AL Central Jerry Reinsdorfs apparent willingne s to discu s selling the White Sox has led to increased speculation that the team could be moved to a new city, though MLB commi sioner Rob Manfred downplayed that idea in a recent appearance on FS1s Breakfast Ball show. (Hat tip to .) Chicago is an anchor city for us. I think that the White Sox are in a difficult situation. I think the location of the stadium is tough, but I have confidence that things are going to work out in Chicago and that were going to continue to have two teams in Chicago , Manfred said. This allusion to Reinsdorfs desire to get a new ballpark built is another factor in the situation, and Van Schouwen hears that Reinsdorf has grown increasingly skeptical about the chances of civic and state officials signing off on a deal to built a new stadium for the White Sox within Chicagos South Loop area. Of course, some gamesmanship could be at play here, Reinsdorfs past threats to move the Sox to St. Petersburg in the late 1980s helped get Guaranteed Rate Field built in the first place. s power bat as a first baseman at the University of Florida helped make him the sixth overall pick of the 2024 draft, but the Royals prospect hasnt given up on the idea of being a two-way player. Im the type of person where I get super driven and I get fixated on things , Caglianone told . So if I have the opportunity to do it, Im going to jump on it. I wont really accept failure. Ill keep pushing at it until it clicks . A Tommy John surgery in 2021 got Caglianone more focused on hitting and perhaps directed him towards Florida instead of entering the 2021 draft as a high schooler, and while Caglianone still showed premium velocity as a college pitcher, control is the big concern. The Royals have thus far used him only as a first baseman and DH during his brief pro career (in high-A ball and in the Arizona Fall League), but the club hasnt entirely closed the door on Caglianone as a pitcher. As K.C. director of player development Mitch Maier put it, Caglianones potential is a rare opportunity that has to be thought through . Kristaps Porzingis Jersey
