Following the news, Tigers GM Scott Harris said Torres will slot in as the team’s everyday second baseman in 2025.
Via Bob Nightengale:
Gleyber Torres will be the everyday second baseman, Colt Keith will now play first base, and 1B Spencer Torkelson’s role has yet to be defined, Tigers GM Scott Harris says.”
Colt Keith played 133 games at second base in the 2024 season and made just 12 errors. He also hit a respectable .260. This a player Detroit certainly wants in their lineup, so moving him over to first base seems like the logical move, even if he’s not familiar with the position.
