Detroit Tigers: Dear Al Avila, DO NOT sign Manny Machado

I hope this letter finds you well. Are you getting ready for the hot stove? Hopefully you’ve taken a cue from former analyst Rod Allen in talking up some of your players. Make sure to emphasize how “sharp” Jordan Zimmerman looked at times last season, and how “consistent” Alex Wilson is at throwing strikes. Maybe even dangle Nick Castellanos in front of the Astros.

Offseason trades will be big for the Tiger rebuild, but free agency is key. Sign the right guys, and dangle them at the deadline like they’re the missing piece for a contender.
