The Tigers acquired Higginbotham and minor league infielder-outfielder Justyn-Henry Malloy from Atlanta in exchange for righty reliever Joe Jimenez and cash considerations on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Malloy is easily the more highly regarded prospect of the two, but the Tigers are hoping Higginbotham can help the major-league club as a reliever at some point in 2023. He held a 4.73 ERA and 48:18 K:BB over 51.1 innings at Double-A Mississippi in 2022.
