Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila is expected to sign a handful of veteran free agents this offseason – similar to the Leonys Martin, Mike Fiers and Francisco Liriano signings from last winter.
All three of those deals were of the one-year variety, and none of them were expensive at all. Detroit has plenty of free agents who fit that bill to choose from this offseason; including Logan Morrison, Marco Estrada, Jordy Mercer and Luis Valbuena.
However, the team did just shed $18M in salary with the retirement of designated hitter Victor Martinez.
