Milwaukee — Tigers general manager Al Avila acknowledged Saturday that tough and possibly unpopular decisions might have to be made this offseason as he tries to take the organization to the next phase of the rebuilding plan.
Some of those decisions include whether to tender a contract to catcher James McCann, whether to offer a contract extension to right fielder Nick Castellanos and whether to aggressively try to trade starting pitcher Matthew Boyd, who may be one of the more coveted players on the roster.
“We kind of have to look at every option that we have at this point, because as we move forward, we’re looking toward the future more so than 2019,” Avila said before the start of the Tigers-Brewers game.
