Tigers Outright Eric Haase

By Connor Byrne | January 6, 2021 at 6:25pm CDT

The Tigers announced that they have outrighted catcher Eric Haase, who cleared waivers after the team designated him for assignment last month.

Haase is coming off his first season with Detroit, which acquired him from AL Central rival Cleveland last January. However, he only took 19 plate appearances and collected three hits (all singles) during his 2020 Detroit debut.

Last year’s offensive struggles weren’t anything new for Haase, who has posted an ugly .122/.170/.184 line with one home run across 53 PA since he first made it to the majors in 2018. To his credit, the 28-year-old does own a far more impressive .232/.302/.479 mark with 49 HRs over 886 trips to the plate in Triple-A.

    Looking at the Tigers’ current situation behind the plate, unless he’s traded, he’ll probably be up at some point.

      Actually no. He was DFA’d to make room for Urena. The roster remains at 40.

        49 homers in 886 PAs is fairly impressive; especially for a catcher. That’s roughly one and a half seasons, or 30+ HR per year.

        Obviously, it must be HR or nothing for him.

    The challenge for some players in playing for their hometown team is they just let themselves go, and that looks to be the case with Haase after the season he had. Hopefully he signs with a team as far away from Michigan as possible to avoid those pitfalls and challenges.

      It does not say he opted for Free Agency, simply that he was taken off the 40. He is still with the Tigers.

    I had Semien and Joc going to Detroit in the contest, probably not Joc now, but I don’t think the Tigers are done yet.

      AA stated he was seeking a C, a 1B or 3B a Corner OF, a SP and bullpen help. So far, its C Dustin Garneau, OF Robbie Grossman, SP Jose Urena and RP Ian Krol. Don’t get your hopes up.

        Garneau and Krol are minor league signings with invitations to spring training.

        Hope’s for contest are not high, Twins fan, but I thought Detroit might look to add some veterans with Zimmerman off the books.

          I think the Tigers won’t get too serious with the type free agents you listed until 2024 when Miguel Cabrera and his $32M/year is gone. That seems to coincide with the target for the farm to develop MLB caliber players.

    I am kinda of surprised that the Orioles or the Pirates didn’t not pick Hasse up. So I am guessing he can’t frame either besides not being able to hit.

    So the kid Haase has 19 PA’s as a Tiger and merely a handful elsewhere…Are we going to talk about how Greiner and Rogers couldn’t bat their weight with far more AB’s and games behind the dish in the bigs?? Haase deserves far more than a late season call up and 19 AB’s to throw him away. Sadly, this is typical Tiger fans trashing on their own players without a clue on how player development works.
