Lugo, 24, was acquired in July 2017 from the Arizona Diamondbacks in the J.D. Martinez trade. A third baseman, Lugo was moved to second base a few weeks later when the Tigers picked up Candelario from the Chicago Cubs as part of a deal for Justin Wilson and Alex Avila.<\/p>\n
Lugo struggled defensively at second and returned to third base on a full-time basis this year at Triple-A Toledo. But he had company at the position. Candelario was ahead of him in Detroit; 20-year-old Isaac Paredes was behind him in Double-A Erie.<\/p>\n
Candelario, 25, seemed like a steal for the Tigers after he battered the ball during his initial call-up in 2017 and then continued his momentum into 2018.<\/p>\n
