Scott Harris explains why he parted ways with now-former Detroit Tigers RHP Spencer Turnbull today.
The Detroit Tigers decided not to tender pitcher Spencer Turnbull, bringing his time with the team to an end. And, as Tigers President of Baseball Operations Scott Harris put it, it was simply time for both parties to start over.
Spencer Turnbull’s nine-year tenure with the Detroit Tigers has come to an end.
Turnbull was selected by the Tigers in the second round (63rd overall) of the 2014 MLB Draft, and he made his Major League debut in September 2018. However, it was in 2021 that he cemented his place in Tigers history by pitching the team’s eighth no-hitter against the Seattle Mariners.
He leaves Detroit with a 12-29 record, 255 strikeouts, and a 4.80 ERA.
Scott Harris explains his decision, stating that a fresh start was required.
While speaking to members of the media this afternoon, Harris emphasized that it was time for both sides to start over.
