Who will start for the Detroit Tigers in 2019 after their offseason acquisitions Ryan Ford and Anthony Fenech, Detroit Free Press
Sometime next month, inside a courthouse in St. Petersburg, Florida, the Detroit Tigers’ 17-year streak of avoiding an arbitration hearing will be broken.
On one side, the team’s front office will argue that right-handed starting pitcher Michael Fulmer should be paid $2.8 million next season. On the other, Fulmer’s representatives will argue he should be paid $3.4 million.
The difference between the two figures — filed on Jan. 11 after the two sides could not reach an agreement — is just $600,000.
