The Tigers announced that right-hander has been dealt to the Phillies in exchange for minor league outfielder . Manning was designated for a signment by Detroit earlier today, and this trade was completed just under the wire before the 5pm CT trade deadline. Philadelphia designated right-hander for a signment in a corresponding roster move. Selected ninth overall by the Tigers in the 2016
Maikel Garcia Jersey draft, Mannings time in the organization will officially end without the righty living up to his lofty potential as one of baseballs top pitching prospects. Manning has a 4.43 ERA over 254 career big league innings from 2021-24, along with an uninspiring 16.4% strikeout rate and 7.8% walk rate. Some injuries surely played a role along the way, and yet with Manning now in his last minor league option year, Detroit chose to just walk away from a pitcher that was once seen as a future cornerstone. Despite Mannings struggles in the majors, he is still only 27 years old, and it isnt surprising that the Phillies quickly arranged a trade soon after Manning was DFAed. Theres little risk for the Phils in seeing if Manning can still be a post-hype breakout after a change of scenery, or at least turn himself into a decent contributor if not a star. In the immediate short term, Manning replenishes the rotation depth chart after the Phillies traded to the Twins as part of the swap. Sweet is also a former Tiger, by Philadelphia in a trade last November. Sweets lone bit of MLB experience came in the 2023 season when he to sed 8 2/3 innings over seven games with the Mariners and Athletics, and he has since been pitching at the Triple-A level. The results werent great this year in Lehigh Valley, as Sweet has a 5.50 ERA and six homers allowed over 37 2/3 innings, with a modest 20.3% strikeout rate. Sweet has battled control i sues for each of the last two seasons, and hell find himself back in DFA limbo. He has been outrighted before, so if the 28-year-old clears waivers, he can reject an outright a signment off the Phillies 40-man roster and instead opt for free agency. Quinonez signed by the Phils during the 2024 international signing period, and the outfielder has played a lot of center and right field in the early stages of his pro career. Quinonez has hit .301/.397/.383 in 310 plate appearances with the Phillies Dominican Summer League teams, and hell now head to Detroits system as a long-term prospect.
