Detroit Tigers Acquire Infielder Tsung-Che Cheng from Boston Red Sox
The Tigers add a left-handed shortstop to their roster, pairing him with fellow Taiwanese infielder Hao-Yu Lee as they seek depth beyond Kevin McGonigle.
According to sports.yahoo.com, The Detroit Tigers have acquired infielder Tsung-Che Cheng from the Boston Red Sox in exchange for cash considerations, according to reports confirmed by multiple sources. Cheng, a 25-year-old left-handed hitter, brings some major league experience to the Tigers' infield.
This move adds depth to Detroit's shortstop options, complementing right-handed bat John Peck and fellow Taiwanese infielder Hao-Yu Lee. The trade also helps the Red Sox manage their crowded 40-man roster, while the Tigers navigate their own roster challenges with several players returning from the injured list.
Cheng's addition provides the Tigers with more flexibility at shortstop beyond their current primary option, Kevin McGonigle, as the team looks to strengthen its infield for the remainder of the season.
