Henning: A better Tigers roster looms in the years ahead, but it needs a star shortstop

Look a couple of years ahead and you’ll see the contours of a rebuilt Tigers roster that’s beginning even now to take shape.

Here, very loosely, is what the Tigers foresee on the position side, even before trades that are all but inevitable fill a couple of Michigan road-sized holes:

u25a0 Miguel Cabrera, DH.

u25a0 Kody Clemens, 2B.

u25a0 Jeimer Candelario, 3B.

u25a0 Christin Stewart, LF.

u25a0 Daz Cameron, CF

Right field is a tough call, all because it’s a good bet Nick Castellanos will either be dealt or will gamble that free agency in 2019 can get him the long, expensive deal he isn’t likely to pull from Detroit.
