There are nine players on current MLB playoff rosters who have been either traded or let go by the Detroit Tigers in their careers. Can you name them?
Here’s how this will work: I’ll give you the current team of the player, their position, and how/when they left the Tigers organization. Type in your guesses, and then you can check the correct answers below the survey.
Michael Lorenzen, the only player traded by the Tigers at this year’s deadline, did not make the wildcard roster for the Philadelphia Phillies, despite throwing a no-hitter in his second start with the team.
In five starts following that no-hitter, Lorenzen allowed 23 earned runs and 48 base runners in 26 innings while striking out just 14.
He was moved to the bullpen, but didn’t prove himself enough to get a spot on the roster for the first round.
It’s possible Lorenzen will be on the roster for the Division Series if the Phillies get past the Marlins.
Another player with local ties is Joey Wiemer, who is on the playoff roster for Milwaukee. Wiemer is a graduate of Bedford High School. Go Mules!
