Even after signing Justin Upton, the Detroit Tigers don’t appear to be done adding players. Avila recently suggested that he wanted “more depth in pitching” (per MLB.com’s Jason Beck). The general manager called the pitching depth “adequate right now.”
Tigers might not be done dealing. “I’d still like to have more depth in pitching,” Al Avila said. “We’re adequate right now.”

While Kyle Lohse remains an intriguing option, the bullpen could use some depth.
Newly-acquired closer Francisco Rodriguez is assured of a job, as are Mark Lowe, Alex Wilson, Justin Wilson and Blaine Hardy.
