The Detroit Tigers are going to have to get creative this offseason and find a way to add in players who are going to bring impact to this roster.
The stove is not hot quite yet, but as pieces start to fall, the Detroit Tigers are going to start making some moves.
Still, ahead of the deadline, Cincinnati Reds outfielder Nicholas Castellanos declined his option and chose to hit the market in free agency.
He chose to bypass the final two years and $34 million of his original four-year, $64 million contract he signed.
While the Tigers are not totally in need of an outfielder, it’s another former Tigers player who was a core of the team’s roster in the recent past.
Whether it’s veteran shortstop José Iglesias who is looking for a new place to call home or trade deadline steal for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Max Scherzer, there are options.
A player who was injured this year but was a hero in this city is Justin Verlander.
Shortly after winning a championship ring with the Atlanta Braves, Drew Smyly will also hit free agency.
