The Tigers announced today that infielder/outfielder Brandon Dixon has been outrighted to Triple-A. He cleared waivers after recently being designated for assignment.
Dixon, who’ll turn 28 later this month, got a lengthy look in 2019 in Detroit but wasn’t able to take advantage. Over 420 plate appearances, he hit 15 home runs and slashed just .248/.290/.435. If he’s to carve out a career in the majors, the former third-round pick will have to improve upon his strikeout (32.4%) and walk (5.0%) rates.
He did lead the Tigers in homers in 2019.
Not very hard to do. Cron very well could double that.
Tigers could outright close to 10 players and they’d all pass through waivers.
He’d be alright in the NL
Does Dixon have the right to refuse the assignment and become a FA?
no, he didnt pass through waivers with the Reds
Dude was trying to hit a homer with every swing and missed his pitch A LOT.
I was hoping Baltimore would pick him up. He definitely would be a better option than what they have now.
I really thought he was a decent option for Detroit. I am sure he will be in the majors this year.
