The Detroit Tigers have outrighted catcher Tomás Nido to Triple-A Toledo after he cleared waivers following a brief stint in the MLB. Nido performed well in a short sample size, batting .343 during his time with the Tigers while Jake Rogers was injured. However, his long-term track record shows significant challenges with hitting, as evidenced by a career average of .215. Even though he did show some value defensively and possesses upper-minor league experience, skepticism remains about his overall hitting ability, making his future uncertain in terms of being claimed by another team.
Nido's brief success in MLB with a .343 average was overshadowed by a lifetime .215 batting average, indicating skepticism about his hitting ability.
Without options left, any team claiming Nido would need to carry him on their roster, limiting his opportunities but allowing the Tigers to retain him for depth.
