Overview
- Detroit finalized a minor-league contract with Corey Julks, as reflected on the team’s MLB.com transaction log.
- He is expected to be in major-league camp as a non-roster invitee, according to multiple reports.
- The Tigers are likely to station Julks at Triple-A Toledo to bolster outfield depth, with a possible call-up as a right-handed bench option if needed.
- Julks owns a .234/.288/.337 MLB slash line with nine home runs and 20 steals across 165 games, contrasted by a .279/.365/.486 line over parts of four Triple-A seasons.
- The deal would pay $875,000 if he makes the MLB roster, per a report, and he profiles primarily as a corner outfielder with above-average speed and arm strength.
