The Detroit Tigers have made a major move, shaking up their roster by axing one of their star players live on air. The move came as a surprise to many, as the player had been a key contributor to the team’s success in recent years.
The player in question is outfielder Justin Upton, who had been with the team since 2017. Upton had been a consistent presence in the lineup, providing power and speed to the Tigers’ offense. He had also been a leader in the clubhouse, providing veteran leadership to the younger players.
The move to cut Upton was a difficult one for the Tigers, but they felt it was necessary in order to move forward. The team is in the midst of a rebuild and they felt that Upton’s contract was too expensive for their current situation.
The move has been met with mixed reactions from fans and analysts alike. Some feel that the Tigers made the right move, while others feel that they should have kept Upton around for his leadership and production.
Only time will tell if the Tigers made the right decision, but for now, the team is moving forward without one of their star players. It will be interesting to see how the team responds to the shake-up and if they can continue to build on their recent success.
