December 16, 2024

The Tigers signed Serven to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Aram Leighton of Just Baseball reports.

ANALYSIS
Serven, 29, slashed .159/.243/.222 in 28 games with the Blue Jays this past season. It's possible he could win the backup catcher job in Detroit behind Jake Rogers if the Tigers want to give Dillon Dingler a little more seasoning in the minors.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2024

2023

The catching position is not an everyday job. Even for the best of catchers in baseball that do not play in Kansas City, the position is a 4-5 starts a week role while the backup gets Sunday day games and mid-week getaway games behind the plate. Serven fills the latter role for the Rockies behind Elias Diaz and there is no danger in those two roles changing any time soon. Sure, they did in June of 2022 while Serven caught lightning in a bottle, but the backup catcher has hit .145/.194/.234 since July first of last year while the club extended Diaz to a new contract after being reminded what their fallback option was, or was not. Serven can throw with the best of them, but he has no fantasy viability in any league format unless something were to happen to Diaz and playing time was forced onto him.

Serven received his first big-league promotion in mid-May last season shortly after turning 27. He belted two homers in his second major-league game and wound up with three long balls and an .859 OPS through the end of June as he stole away significant playing time from Elias Diaz. Serven then came crashing back to earth with a .450 OPS across his final 41 games. The Rockies failed to upgrade at catcher over the offseason, so Serven is in line to serve as Diaz's understudy again. He could work his way into a 1A and 1B situation, which might be enough for deep league attention at least for games at Coors Field.
