Well, later on Thursday evening, the Boston Red Sox are trading infielder Tsung Che Cheng to the Detroit Tigers, per multiple sources.

Tsung-Che Cheng carries a lifetime batting average of .217 over 46 at-bats.
His career OPS+ is 47.
MLBTR.com’s Anthony Franco detailed Che Cheng’s end to the 2026 campaign:
“The 25-year-old Cheng spent the remainder of the season on optional assignment to Triple-A Worcester. He posted a league average .241/.345/.390 slash with eight home runs. Cheng rarely expanded the strike zone and walked at a strong 14% clip. He struck out at a slightly elevated 24% rate and didn’t hit the ball with much authority. Prospect evaluators have generally praised his plate discipline and solid defensive chops around the infield, projecting him as a utility piece. He’s out of minor league options and will battle for a bench job in Detroit if he holds his 40-man spot all offseason.”
