Jonathan Schoop News
Detroit Tigers infielder Jonathan Schoop has been released. The 31-year-old was designated for assignment earlier this week and has now been officially released. Schoop put up a poor .211/.279/.271 batting line with six home runs and 15 RBI across 133 at-bats this season, which wasn't getting the job done. He should be able to sign on with another team and serve as bench depth in the second half.
The Detroit Tigers released veteran infielder Jonathan Schoop on Wednesday. Schoop cleared waivers after the team designated him for assignment last Friday, and now he'll hit the open market. The 31-year-old just didn't have any success with the bat in the first half of the 2023 season with Detroit, slashing .213/.278/.272 with no home runs, eight doubles, seven RBI and 15 runs scored in 151 trips to the plate and 55 games. The career .254 hitter had his lone 30-home run season back in 2017 with the Baltimore Orioles, when he was selected to his only All-Star game. Schoop hit 22 home runs two years ago with the Tigers, but he's pretty much fallen off the fantasy radar since then. He'll be hoping to sign a minor-league deal with another team for the second half.
The Detroit Tigers designated second/third baseman Jonathan Schoop for assignment on Friday. The 31-year-old managed to cede his roster spot even on a Tigers team with a relatively thin infield depth chart. Schoop has slashed a lowly .204/.248/.311 with 11 home runs, 45 RBI, and five stolen bases over 617 at-bats since 2022. The former All-Star figures to get a chance with another club as a bench piece, but Schoop could go through waivers unclaimed before potentially becoming a free agent.
