MLB
The Detroit Tigers have added another potential center fielder to their roster. They picked up Mikie Mahtook from the Rays yesterday. Tampa will receive either cash, or a player to be named later in exchange. Mahtook is 27 years old. He’s a former first-round draft choice who’s split time between the Rays and the minors over the past two seasons. To make room for him on the roster, the Tigers designated center fielder Anthony Gose for assignment. Gose could remain with the club if he clears waivers.
