Detroit – The Tigers have not taken a player through the arbitration process since Al Avila has been in the front office – and that goes back to 2002.
But, as the Tigers' general manager hinted during the Winter Meetings in Las Vegas last month, that could change this year.
“You want to call that a record or what, that we haven’t had to go to arbitration, but we don’t look at it as a win and loss type of thing,” Avila said. “We’ll take the avenue we feel is best for the organization when the time comes.
