LAKELAND, Fla. With a couple of spots open in spring training, the Detroit Tigers decided to add two prospects into the mix.
Outfielder Parker Meadows and infielder Ryan Kreidler are coming to Tiger Town as members of the team s minicamp in Lakeland. The 21-year-old Meadows a second-round pick in the 2018 draft is the No. 13 prospect in the farm system, according to MLB Pipeline.
Kreidler was picked in the fourth round of the 2019 draft from UCLA. Those two were next on the list, as driven by player development, manager AJ Hinch said Sunday. Al (Avila, general manager) made the decision, and we re going to get them up and running. We ll see Kreidler in a game probably faster than Meadows because we re going to look for some infield coverage.
