Detroit Tigers: Prospects recently added to 40-man roster most likely to make 2018 Opening Day unit

Detroit Tigers fans recently saw the team add a total of seven prospects to the team’s 40-man roster. These are the most likely to make the team’s Opening Day roster come March 2018.

Detroit Tigers executive vice president of baseball operations and general manager Al Avila, along with the rest of the front office, recently added a group of prospects to the team’s 40-man roster.

The Tigers announced the move to add the prospects to the 40-man roster in a tweet on the team’s official Twitter account on November 20.

Detroit tweeted the following:

"“Today, we purchased the contracts of catcher Grayson Greiner and OF Mike Gerber from Triple-A Toledo, RHP Gerson Moreno and Spencer Turnbull from Double-A Erie as well as RHP Eduardo Jimenez, LHP Gregory Soto and infielder Sergio Alcantara from Single-A Lakeland.”"

The prospects all have considerable upside and, despite playing at varying minor league levels in 2017, could all play a significant part in the Detroit Tigers return to prominence in baseball.

It’s likely that some combination of the aforementioned prospects will be part of the Tigers’ future, but will any of them be part of the team’s present come Opening Day 2018?

Here’s a look.
