Detroit — The Tigers on Friday avoided arbitration with three of their vital pieces for 2019 — left-handed pitchers Matthew Boyd, Blaine Hardy and Daniel Norris.
All three signed one-year deals.
Boyd, who made $1.13 million last season and was projected (by MLBTradeRumors) to get as much as $3 million if he got to arbitration, signed for $2.
