The Detroit Tigers have decided to option Spencer Torkelson, the 2020 No. 1 overall draft pick, to Triple-A Toledo for a corrective stint. This move comes as Torkelson has struggled in the major leagues, leading to speculation about his performance and future with the team. Manager AJ Hinch did not rule out this possibility earlier. In his place, outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy has received his first big-league call-up. The decision marks a significant shift for the Tigers as they seek to address Torkelson's development and enhance their roster's performance.
Spencer Torkelson has been optioned down to AAA. I have a lot of current thoughts about the Tigers organization and their development of offensive talent. What do you think? Should he have been sent down? Check out the good convo here: https://t.co/dx8U3qLOyr https://t.co/wny9oMmkb1
