Detroit Tigers’ General Manager Al Avila is busy shopping a handful of Detroit’s most tradable assets. However, a GM’s goal 100 percent of the time is to find ways to make their team better. Often times, that can be by finding players who have been cast aside by other teams.
J.D. Martinez was Detroit’s greatest success, snapping him up after Houston released him. They’ve also found success in smaller ways with players like Niko Goodrum, Casper Wells and Alex Presley.
With a full-on rebuild in effect, it’s important now more than ever to try to find bargain talent.
