SAD NEWS: THE KEY PLAYER FOR THE DETROIT TIGERS HAS DECIDED TO QUIT AFTER HIS $94.2 MILLION DEAL WAS TERMINATED.

Detroit Tigers infield prospect Ryan Kreidler underwent surgery on his fractured right index finger on April 11, the club announced Tuesday.

Kreidler, 26, entered Spring Training in competition for a spot on Detroit’s Opening Day roster. Although he hit .306 with two home runs, six RBI, eight walks, two stolen bases and a .917 OPS in 20 games of Grapefruit League action, Kreidler was optioned to Triple-A Toledo on March 21.

In his fourth game of the minor league season, Kreidler got hit in the hand by a pitch. He went to the 7-day injured list on April 7, two days before he was diagnosed with a right finger fracture.
