Sacramento, Calif. — The player to be named later in the Jahmai Jones trade has been named.
The Tigers completed the trade which sent Jones to the Boston Red Sox on July 14 by acquiring 24-year-old left-hander Jojo Ingrassia on Saturday.
Ingrassia, who was being groomed as a starting pitcher, was 2-1 with a 3.27 ERA and averaging 12 strikeouts per nine innings at High-A Greenville.
He is expected to report to West Michigan.
Ingrassia, a 14th-round pick of the Red Sox in 2023, was teammates with Tigers right-hander Troy Melton for two seasons at San Diego State. Ingrassia transferred to Cal State Fullerton in 2022 where he ended up closing games, posting a 5-2 record with a 2.42 ERA and seven saves.
