Carson Fulmer

Post by Good2BGold »

For those who missed it, Carson Fulmer was cut by the Detroit Tigers a few days ago. According to MLive.com:

"... the Tigers designated right-handed reliever Carson Fulmer for assignment. Fulmer is out of options, meaning he cannot be transferred to the minor leagues without first clearing waivers."

The Tigers had claimed Carson when he was designated for assignment by the White Sox at the end of July. As far as I can tell, no other team has claimed him since the Tigers let him go. Here's the link to the MLive piece:

Live.com: "Tigers activate Buck Farmer, cut Carson Fulmer"

And below is a link to an even more comprehensive piece about how this may play out for Carson from MLBTradeRumors.com, which says:

"The Tigers will have a week to trade Fulmer, release him or try to pass the once-vaunted righty through waivers themselves. If he does clear, they’d be able to keep him in the organization’s 60-man player pool without dedicating a 40-man roster spot to him. At that point, Fulmer could head to the Tigers’ alternate training site in hopes of earning another look in the big leagues before season’s end."
