The Detroit Tigers are promoting a prospect they acquired in the Jack Flaherty trade, who never got the same opportunity with the Yankees and Dodgers.
The New York Yankees are set at shortstop. Whatever concerns exist about Anthony Volpe's bat, there's no denying he's already among the best fielders at his position at age 23.The Los Angeles Dodgers have even more options at the position. Mookie Betts was holding down the fort more than capably, playing at an MVP-caliber pace until a fractured hand interrupted his season in June.
The Dodgers traded Sweeney and Thayron Liranzo to acquire Flaherty on the day of the MLB trade deadline.Liranzo, a 21-year-old catcher, has responded to the trade in similar fashion. He's slashing .359/.468/.769 in his first 11 games since the deal. But those plate appearances have come at the advanced Class-A level, traditionally three promotions away from his first big league call-up.Sweeney, however, had been knocking on the door for some time.
