Tigers Sign Miguel Del Pozo To Minors Deal.
MLBTR

Del Pozo has been hit hard over his 13 career MLB innings, with a total 12.46 ERA from 9 1/3 innings with the Angels in 2019 and then 3 2/3 frames for Pittsburgh last season.
Del Pozo has more walks than strikeouts as a big leaguer, an extreme version of control issues he displayed early in his pro career, though he has seemingly gotten his walks under control as he rose up the minor league ladder.
Over 386 1/3 career innings in the Angels, Rangers, and Marlins farm systems, Del Pozo posted a 4.28 ERA, 25.8 K%, and 10.2% walk rate. He has worked almost exclusively as a reliever throughout his career.

Fired Los Angeles Angels clubhouse attendant names pitchers in ball-doctoring case.
espn

A revealing text message from star pitcher Gerrit Cole has been submitted as evidence in Brian Harkins' quest to prove he was unfairly made a scapegoat when the Los Angeles Angels fired him as their clubhouse attendant for supplying ball-doctoring substances to pitchers.

The message -- dated Jan. 17, 2019 -- was filed in Orange County (California) Superior Court on Thursday as opposition to a request to dismiss the original lawsuit submitted by Harkins' attorneys in August.

"Hey Bubba, it's Gerrit Cole," the text reads. "I was wondering if you could help me out with this sticky situation [winky face emoji]. We don't see you until May, but we have some road games in April that are in cold weather places. The stuff I had last year seizes up when it gets cold ..."

The opposition also includes a declaration from Harkins in which he recalled a March 26 interview with attorneys from MLB and the Angels. During the interview, Harkins claims, he identified Cole, Justin Verlander, Edwin Jackson, Max Scherzer, Felix Hernandez, Corey Kluber, Joba Chamberlain, Adam Wainwright and Tyler Chatwood among the pitchers who previously asked for his specific blend of pine tar and rosin, which became popular throughout the league after he made it for former closer Troy Percival more than 20 years ago.

Harkins also named several current and former Angels -- Percival, Brendan Donnelly, Kevin Jepsen, Cam Bedrosian, Keynan Middleton, Yusmeiro Petit, Luke Bard, Matt Andriese, Dylan Peters, Jose Suarez, Kaleb Cowart and Dylan Bundy -- who used the blend.

AA should just keep his mouth shut. He first says that he is planning on sending him to AA and Tork to high A, then he says things could change depending on what happens in spring training. How about just saying they are going to wait to see what happens in spring?

I'd put them both in AA regardless ST.

This week, the Detroit Tigers signed outfielder Robbie Grossman to a 2-year, $10 million contract. In his last year with the Oakiland A?s, Grossman retooled his stance and swing for his best career power numbers. He also improved defensively.

Grossman fits manager A. J. Hinch?s statements on the need for player flexibility and better plate discipline. He is a switch-hitter and can play all three outfield positions with an emphasis on left field. He also has great plate discipline with fewer strikeouts and a high walk rate ? two categories that the Tigers ranked last in for the past couple of years.
How do you feel about this signing?
