"Kevin McGonigle (No. 2) will make an immediate impact for the Tigers Tigers shortstop prospect Kevin McGonigle got a crash course at third base in the Arizona Fall League, and in spring training, he'll continue to play on the left side of the infield. No matter where he plays, McGonigle will be a fixture in the Tigers' every-day lineup by midseason and make an immediate impact -- and on a lot of days, he'll remind A.J. Hinch of another player he once managed: Alex Bregman."
"De Vries was immediately put on the fast track after becoming one of the top international signings in the 2024 class, debuting in A ball. He has since only validated that approach, slashing .281/.359/.551 as an 18-year-old in Double-A after going from the Padres to the A's in last summer's Mason Miller trade. De Vries is a legitimate switch-hitter with above average on-base ability and plus raw power potential."
Kevin McGonigle is expected to become an everyday Tigers infielder by midseason after gaining experience at third base in the Arizona Fall League and continuing reps at the left side of the infield in spring training. McGonigle profiles with strong strike-zone command, bat speed and baserunning, and his AFL triple slash was .362/.500/.710. Leo De Vries advanced rapidly through the minors after a top international signing, posting .281/.359/.551 as an 18-year-old in Double-A following a trade from the Padres to the A's. De Vries is a switch-hitter with on-base ability, raw power potential and a likely position shift to third base with a clear path to the majors on the A's.
