DSL Tigers

From BR Bullpen


The DSL Tigers are the Detroit Tigers' affiliate in the Dominican Summer League. They date to 1994, although the Tigers had previously supplied players to co-op teams: the 1989 DSL Tigers/Giants, 1990 DSL Tigers/Padres/Red Sox, and 1991-1993 DSL Tigers/Cardinals. In 2018-2019 and again in 2022 the team was replaced by the DSL Tigers 1 and DSL Tigers 2.


Danny Bautista, Willis Roberts and Fernando Rodney have come up through the team.
