Tigers Sign Zach McAllister, Designate Jacob Turner

By Jeff Todd | August 10, 2018 at 2:32pm CDT

The Tigers announced today that they have signed a MLB pact with righty Zach McAllister. To create roster space, the club designated fellow right-hander Jacob Turner.

McAllister just wrapped up a lengthy tenure with the Indians, who released him after designating him for assignment. Now he’ll head to the division-rival Tigers to finish out the year before reaching free agency at season’s end.

The 30-year-old hurler has overseen declines in both his peripherals and his results this season. McAllister provided the Indians with 183 1/3 innings of 2.99 ERA ball from 2015-17, but his fortunes have turned. Through 41 2/3 frames in 2018, he has coughed up seven long balls and is allowing 4.97 earned runs per nine with 7.3 K/9 versus 2.2 BB/9.

Turner, of course, is a former first-rounder turned journeyman who found his way back to Detroit recently. He was shelled in a recent start, lasting only one inning. In eighty frames this year, he carries a 4.50 ERA with 6.5 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9.

      Hey Turner, that didn’t take long. Hang me up. You’re wasting a lot of people’s time

        Interesting typo. Hang me up means something totally different from hang em up.

        He just started in a major league game. It might take a little more time before he “hangs it up”. Plus, Tigers haven’t released him yet. My guess – he’ll go right back to Toledo and get another call-up in Sept.

      That then makes him the perfect Tiger pitcher.

    The Tigers have 47 games left. You think they can find 46 more pitchers out there on the scrap heap to start? Calling Freddy Garcia!

    With the part conceding Jacob Turner, I believe you meant to put those are his AAA stats. Great article anyway though!
