Jon Paul Morosi reported Wednesday that the Tigers had expressed some interest in former Baltimore Orioles’ starter, Chris Tillman. The 29-year-old right-hander had a rough year in 2017, but may have some bounceback potential. Other than that, it’s still quiet on the Tigers’ rumor front.
So far, General Manager Al Avila has proceeded in similar fashion to last offseason, restocking the upper minors with career minor leaguers mixed with a few players with a little late bloomer potential. The Rule 5 draft, coming up a few weeks from now, will afford another opportunity to do the same.
