The Detroit Tigers will be looking for an arm to eat some innings in 2021 and Matt Shoemaker could be the answer.
Matt Shoemaker is a Michigan native, born in Wyandotte and he played collegiate baseball at Eastern Michigan University. It would be a nice homecoming for Shoemaker and having family and friends closer to games could be enough of a reason to sign with the Detroit Tigers.
