DETROIT -- Plenty of Tigers players yearn to put their 2016 seasons behind them. None have as many reasons as Mark Lowe.
Lowe signed a two-year, $11 million contract at the 2015 Winter Meetings to be the first major setup man signing by the Tigers since Joaquin Benoit five years earlier. Lowe ended up spending most of the '16 season as a mop-up reliever, trying to find any semblance of the stuff that made him a valued reliever with the Mariners or Blue Jays.
The recovery never happened. If only Lowe could pretend the same for the season.
