The Detroit Tigers will have to address the long-term solution at shortstop. Throwing money at it may be the only option. Or is it?
In the series against Cleveland, the Detroit Tigers saw their defense cost them the series in the rubber match on Sunday as Zach Short’s two errors allowed for Cleveland to come back in the game. As a collective, the Tigers are -17 in DRS at shortstop.
