3 Tigers players we'll be glad are gone in 2024 and 2 we wish stayed

Tyler Nevin

Another one that's pretty obvious. Nevin was a puzzling acquisition from the beginning. He was acquired for cash from Baltimore on New Year's Eve 2022. He got his first opportunity with the Tigers pretty early on. He hit a pinch-hit home run to dead center against in old team in April. Sadly, that was his lone highlight of his Tigere career.

Nevin just didn't have what it takes to be a big league hitter. He hit the ball on the ground way too much. He could draw a walk, but that was pretty much it. He could also mash in Triple-A. He was the epitome of a AAAA player.

Nevin took a very similar path out of Detroit as Maton. He was DFA'd, then traded back to the Orioles for cash. Much like Maton, we're not going to miss him. Not only was he pretty bad, he just didn't fit into the fold anymore with all the prospects on the way.

The Tyler Nevin era in Detroit was short, but memorable — but not for the right reasons. He now becomes a pretty solid answer on your Immaculate Grid.
