@BOSSportsGordo wrote (on X.com) about the details of the trade:
"Trade: The Red Sox are trading IF Tsung-Che Cheng to the Tigers for cash considerations in another 40-man spot clearing move, according to @ByAndrewParker."
Che Cheng played 14 games with the Boston Red Sox in 2026 and over 39 at-bats, the 25-year-old infielder batted .256 with 10 hits, five RBI, and seven runs scored.
He made his MLB debut in 2025 with the Pittsburgh Pirates and has bounced around between a few MLB organizations since.
For the Tigers side of this deal, it's a good depth add to their infield group. With Gleyber Torres now a free agent, perhaps Detroit has an opening at 2B, but Che Cheng doesn't figure to be part of the everyday fold with the Tigers… for now, at least.
