## Resource

The Detroit Tigers made a tough but necessary move, designating veteran backup catcher Jake Rogers for assignment to make room for Javier Baez’s return, while also opening the door for younger, more offensive-minded Eduardo Valencia. Despite Rogers’ loyalty, personality, and even his role as Skubal’s personal catcher, his underwhelming 2024 performance—just .161 batting average in 110 plate appearances—made the decision hard but logical. With a seven-day window to trade him, Rogers could become a free agent if no team claims him, marking a poignant moment where loyalty meets roster optimization.
