Eliezer

Alfonzo

The 26-year-old backstop spent his first eight minor league seasons in the Tigers’ organization. In 2025, he slashed .247/.297/.322 with one homer and 34 RBI in 250 plate appearances between Double-A Erie and Triple-A Toledo. He’ll add additional catching depth in the upper minors for the Dodgers.

No real surprises here among the latest cuts for Detroit. Leonard is probably the closest to contributing at the highest level after batting .263/.326/.455 with 10 homers and seven steals across 282 plate appearances last year at Triple-A Toledo. Flores, no relation to the Giants first baseman, was limited to just 20 appearances last year in the minors due to injury, but was a highly-touted pitching prospect just two years ago.
