Haase has changed his offseason workout routine to try to be more "explosive" when he plays in the outfield, Cody Stavenhagen of The Athletic reports.
Detroit manager A.J. Hinch previously said Haase is a "catcher first," though it seems clear from his offseason focus on speed and quickness that he will appear at multiple positions this season. That should help the 29-year-old play more frequently and potentially pick up eligibility at a few different spots. Haase is coming off a career year in which he blasted 22 home runs across 98 games.
