 The Detroit Tigers have reached an agreement with catcher Brian Serven on a minor league contract, as reported by Aram Leighton of Just Baseball. Serven, a client of PRIME, will join the Tigers' big league camp as a non-roster invitee.
Serven, 29, is now part of his fourth organization. Originally drafted in the fifth round by the Rockies in 2016, he made his MLB debut six years later. The Arizona State alum played 62 games as a rookie, posting a .203/.261/.332 batting line in a backup role. In the following season, he made just 11 appearances, spending most of the year in Triple-A under optional assignment. He was eventually placed on waivers by Colorado last winter. The Cubs claimed Serven and briefly kept him on their 40-man roster before designating him for assignment after about a week. He then landed with the Blue Jays through another claim. Although Toronto initially waived him at the end of January, they reselected his contract following an injury to Danny Jansen, who broke his wrist during Spring Training. Serven's journey through multiple teams showcases his resilience and adaptability. Now with the Tigers, he aims to make an impact in their minor league system and potentially earn a call-up to the majors. His experience and perseverance add valuable depth to the Tigers' catching roster as they prepare for the upcoming season.
