As the GM meetings wrapped-up in Las Vegas, there were plenty of rumors involving Tigers outfielder Nick Castellanos, but all signs point to a trade happening closer to the start of spring training. The teams involved in these rumors, the Dodgers, the Braves, and potentially the Astros (who made an offer in July) all are…
The Detroit Tigers are set to agree to a 1-year contract with former Pittsburgh Pirates Shortstop, 32-year old Jordy Mercer. The deal is worth $5.25mm with another $250k in incentives. Think of Mercer as a poor man’s Jose Iglesias (Yikes!!). The slugging is slightly higer, so expect a few more home runs and Mercer may…
Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but the Detroit Tigers are taking a gamble on a starting pitcher on a one-year deal. Yes, this is very familar to the Matt Moore signing from last week, however this one is for a quite a bit more money, with Ross, a righthander, agreeing to the 1-year…
Admittedly, it’s been a minute (or season) since I’ve last written and am finally coming to grips with the Tigers being terrible for some time. With that, it can be challenging to find things to blog about, however, I’m going to give it another shot! Let’s first start off with what could be the “major”…
In case you missed the news last night, the Tigers most likely just traded for their center fielder. In a move that isn’t going to get a ton of coverage, Detroit traded a player to be named and cash to Tampa for right handed hitting Mikie (pronounced Mike-ee) Mahtook. The move doesn’t come as a…
Since the singing of Justin Upton Monday, I’ve heard a lot of people bashing the signing in Detroit and wanting Yoenis Cespedes instead. So let’s do a comparison of the players and see where we net out. By the way, Cespedes is now being predicted to get 6-years and between $140mm and $150mm as a…
Just when you thought the Tigers were done, they bounce back once again for another impactful January singing. Welcome to the D, Mr. Upton!! With a rumor that came out of nowhere and the focus on Yoenis Cespedes, Detroit will sign Justin Upton to a 6-year $132.75 million dollar contract. The contract will have an…
Al Avila has started off the hot stove season with a flurry of moves, firing some of the first shots of free agency and working the trade market. With the big names being moved during the season, subtractions have been pretty low key, with Alex Avila, Al Albuquerque, Neftali Feliz, being the major players leaving…
One of the last pieces to new GM Al Avila’s off-season puzzle was a lefty reliever, and he found that piece last night in Justin Wilson. Avila traded two minor leaguers, one a prospect in Luis Cessa (the other, Chad Green) for Wilson. Wilson spent last season with the New York Yankees setting up in…
If the Detroit Tigers season started today, the roster would look much different of course then how we left it on October 4th, 2015. Al Avila has put a ton of work in to this team with what seems to be an improved rotation and a better (tough to get worse) bullpen. The offense I…
