Detroit Tigers should dig into non-tender free-agent market to add power and/or pitching

The non-tender deadline tossed 59 new players into free agency Wednesday, including a handful of pitchers and corner outfielders the Detroit Tigers could be interested in.

Of the players non-tendered before the 8 p.m. deadline, none came from the Tigers. General manager Al Avila opted to give 2021 contracts to all nine arbitration-eligible players: Matthew Boyd, Jeimer Candelario, Jose Cisnero, Buck Farmer, Michael Fulmer, Niko Goodrum, Joe Jimenez, JaCoby Jones and Daniel Norris.

The Tigers have a few openings in the lineup entering next season, most notably at first base, second base and catcher.
