Detroit Tigers: Henderson Alvarez a potential depth option
The Detroit Tigers may be looking to add another starting pitcher as depth heading into 2018. Henderson Alvarez could be that guy.
The Detroit Tigers have already made two signings this offseason to address their starting pitching. First, the Tigers signed 27-year-old Ryan Carpenter to a minor league deal.
Carpenter is expected to compete for the fifth starter role with veteran Mike Fiers, who the Tigers signed earlier this week.
Fiers and Carpenter join a rotation that is led by Michael Fulmer, who has been the subject of numerous trade rumors this offseason.
Left-handers Daniel Norris and Matt Boyd, along with veteran right-hander Jordan Zimmermann, fill out the rotation.
