J-Hen had been DFA’d to make room for Kyle Finnegan

If I was in a Meyers right now I’d fall to my knees
There was a time when he could’ve been an asset in a trade. This is the kind of stuff people should be frustrated about.
Bummer but with the kids probably coming up next year might get a bit crowded with J-Hen, hope he does well wherever he lands
Dang did not see this one coming. I know Jhen hasn’t set the world on fire, how likely is it that he clears waivers?
I don’t get it
Petzold said this was coming but that’s an interesting decision. He’s going to get claimed.
I suppose it’s a good thing the 40 man is loaded already.
He can’t play defense and all he does is walk
Smh…aight man
Should have sent Jung or Sweeney packing. There’s no hope for either of those guys. JHen was in a rough spot positionally but he’s a far better player
Hopefully he can unlock his potential somewhere else. Just never could find a spot for him here
He was never that good when he was up. He was an AAAA player.
What a bad trade.
Figured it was gonna happen, Malloy was going to have to hit really well to outweigh his inability to play defense anywhere to a major league standard and well, he wasn’t hitting.
I do think he can be an everyday player, just not for a team with higher aspirations like the Tigers. A rebuilding or fringe team might be able to utilize him for a full season, he walks that well (Moneyball A’s would’ve loved the guy)
I hate to hear that. Good luck, J-Hen. I hope you find lots of success.
Reminder that we trade Joe Jimenez for this guy
Safe to say it appears that we lost that trade
He’ll get picked up by the Guardians and will come back to haunt us.
That makes me strangely sad! I’m sure someone will pick him up and give him a shot.
Damn that sucks
Cowards
I would like to see what JHM could do over a full season as a primary DH/occasional 1B. I think he’s a professional hitter with a great eye. Can’t play the outfield at all, but there’s a good hitter there. His biggest obstacle here was Torkelson. Maybe another team will give him that extended look.

He’s gonna be a lefty killer for like 10 years in the bigs, sad he’s not getting a real shot here.
I hope we get him back. He seemed like a pretty good hitter and still has growth potential.
Nobody would have taken him in a trade? I find that hard to believe
He’ll get picked up . Still a good pinch hit bat but his main problem is not a everyday player that doesn’t play the outfield good
Don’t like this. JHen deserves better.
So, another failed trade by Scott Harris, he has a serious weakness at making trades pan out, the complete opposite of Dombrowski.
