In 2024, Kelly is hitting .242 with seven home runs, 17 walks and 39 strikeouts across 59 games. Behind the plate, Kelly is the personal catcher for right-hander Jack Flaherty, who owns an elite 2.82 ERA in their 16 starts together.
The Tigers, though, are shopping Kelly ahead of Tuesday’s trade deadline because he is playing on an expiring contract. If Kelly gets traded, the Tigers will promote Dillon Dingler — a 25-year-old prospect who is the only other catcher on the 40-man roster — for his MLB debut.
