For the first time since 2013, the Tigers will enter spring training with uncertainty at second base. Ian Kinsler has played in at least 139 games for the team through the past four seasons, but he was dealt to the Los Angeles Angels on December 13 in exchange for minor league prospects Troy Montgomery and Wilkel Hernandez.
Kinsler was named an All-Star in his first season with the Tigers and won the Gold Glove Award for defensive excellence in 2016. He hit 78 home runs, recorded 300 runs batted in (RBI), and registered a .275 batting average through a combined 607 games with the team. He spent the previous eight seasons with the Texas Rangers.
Montgomery is a 23-year-old outfielder who was selected by the Angels in the eighth round of the 2016 MLB Amateur Draft out of the Ohio State University. Through two seasons in the minor leagues, he achieved 15 home runs, 88 RBI, and a .269 batting average. Hernandez, meanwhile, is an 18-year-old right-handed pitcher from Venezuela who boasts a 2.88 earned run average and 58 strikeouts in just under 60 innings in the minor leagues.
