Tigers Designate Bennett Sousa For Assignment

By Anthony Franco | September 1, 2023 at 5:03pm CDT

The Tigers announced they’ve designated reliever Bennett Sousa for assignment. That’s the 40-man move for Miguel Díaz, whose contract was selected last night.

Detroit just nabbed Sousa off waivers from Milwaukee on Tuesday. It’s possible his stay in the organization won’t result in an appearance, as the Tigers will now have to put him back on waivers. Having already gone from the White Sox to the Reds to the Brewers to Detroit via minor transactions this year, he could well be claimed again.

Sousa has pitched twice this season for Milwaukee and made 25 appearances for the ChiSox a season ago. The southpaw has allowed 24 runs in 23 big league innings, striking out 14 while walking 12. He owns a 2.98 ERA in parts of five minor league campaigns, though, striking out nearly 31% of opposing hitters in the process. Sousa still has a couple options remaining, meaning another team that claims him could keep him in Triple-A if they’re willing to carry him on the 40-man roster.

      Impulse Shopping and “doubling down” after Impulse Buyer’s Remorse sets in takes and keeps one “in the red”. Wasted time, resources and planning.

        It was an annoying claim. 28 year old with bad numbers. They have enough of those in AAA. Get something they lack for a change. OF Michael Siani from the reds is available. He might make sense to test drive with his speed and decent hitting. McKinistry has 16 SB to lead the team and Siani has had 40-50 in previous minor league seasons (only 22 this year). Try him in AAA and see what he’s got. They did that with Eddys Leonard and he has looked very solid since coming over. If he sucks cut him. They have enough Sousa’s. Try stocking up at other positions.

    So Sousa got his marching orders, eh? Guess he won’t be part of the band.

      I wonder if he’s eligible for anything if he accrues five years of being dfa’d.

          I still say they called him on the Sousaphone to let him know.
