Detroit Tigers GM Al Avila 'resisting urge' to spend big, taking his time in free agency

The Detroit Tigers were in attendance for the virtual winter meetings, but outside of making a Rule 5 draft pick, they didn't come away with any major roster changes.

General manager Al Avila touched base with GMs and agents, as he does throughout the offseason, but was not aggressive about adding established star talent to the Tigers.

That's how it's going to be for the remainder of the winter.

"I look at it as being disciplined this year and resisting an urge to really try to step up," Avila said Friday at The Players Alliance's "Pull Up Neighbor" campaign, which served over 2,000 families in Flint and Detroit.
