Detroit Tigers trade pickup Chris Paddack breaks his silence on being traded to Detroit, and he takes a subtle jab at the Minnesota Twins as well.

Where the poor grade likely stems from is that Paddack wouldn’t be a fantastic option as of now to start in a playoff game for the Tigers. Currently, the top of the rotation is comprised of Tarik Skubal, Jack Flaherty, and Casey Mize.

New Tigers pitcher Chris Paddack didn't meet the media Tuesday but, more importantly, he did spend a lot of time with AJ Hinch and Chris Fetter.
