It's not necessarily a shock, but it's still big.
Tigers shortstop Jose iglesias posted an emotional farewell to the Detroit fans on his Instagram account Wednesday, seemingly eliminating any chance of the ballclub bringing him back for one more year as it continues its rebuild.
Iglesias, 28, is set to become a free agent after the World Series, and will be seeking a raise from the $6.275 million he made in 2018. Tigers general manager Al Avila didn't immediately return a request for comment.
The Tigers are scheduled to meet within the next week in Lakeland, Fla.
