Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila and the rest of the front office are looking to change how the team does business.
The era of the Tigers spending on prominent free agents is over.
With Detroit seeking to become more financially sustainable over the long haul, the team’s biggest contracts have become obvious trade candidates.
However, with the Tigers also staying competitive, it means that the likes of Miguel Cabrera, Ian Kinsler and Justin Verlander probably aren’t going anywhere.
The Tigers do have a handful of players on significant contracts who they could trade while keeping their contender status.
