We find ourselves in the early stages of what is sure to be a very unusual free agent season. Teams, who have seen their revenue deeply impacted by a season without fans, have seemed cagey about the idea of spending big on free agency, and many of the would-be big names coming available this season have already signed contract extensions.
That said, the Tigers have let several of last season’s acquisitions walk, and will need to sign free agents in order to plug the gaps where a prospect may not yet be ready to play daily. The team is going to need to spend money, though how much remains a very up in the air question.
