With the free agency exit of shortstop Jose Iglesias, the Tigers find themselves in need of a middle infielder, and have no readily available options on the farm. With young players like Niko Goodrum and Jeimer Candelario manning the infield currently, it would make a lot of sense for the Tigers to target a veteran free agent who has established himself in the position. While keeping Iglesias would have made the most sense, the club has parted ways with him, clearly hoping to find an alternative on the open market.
Jordy Mercer could be an ideal shortstop target for the Tigers
