Springer to Tri-City

After taking BP at Minute Maid Park and having a press conference, George Springer will work out for a few days in Kissimmee before reporting to Tri-City to finish out the season.

Scout John Kosciak:
"The best way to describe him is he's freakishly athletic. He comes from a very athletic family. His father played football and baseball at UConn and played in the Little League World Series, and his mother was a gymnast at UConn. At a young age, the whole family was in gymnastics, and that's why he's got great agility."
