In the first action after what seemed like months, the Tigers made five signings official in quick succession. The headliner is Leonys Martin, once a top-100 prospect, he’s struggled to find consistency in the major leagues. The defense has always been there, but the bat continues to have holes. Here’s hoping for a Mahtook-like renaissance for him next year.
The other big name included was Derek Norris. I’m more than a little iffy on this move, considering Norris was suspended for violating MLB’s domestic violence policy last season. Obviously everyone deserves a second chance, and Norris wasn't convicted of anything.
