Tigers president of baseball operations Scott Harris said Friday that Torkelson's role for 2025 is not yet defined,
Bob Nightengale of USA Today reports.
ANALYSISThe Tigers have signed
Gleyber Torres to play second base and will move
Colt Keith to first base, leaving Torkelson without a clear path to playing time against right-handed pitching. He could be used in a short-side platoon with Keith at first base, but the Tigers dangling Torkelson in trade talks might be a likelier scenario. The former top prospect popped 31 home runs in 2023 but put up a .669 OPS in 2024 and spent a chunk of the season in the minors.
