Detroit –
They’re not done yet. That’s what they’re saying, without actually saying it.
That’s why Tigers owner Mike Ilitch dove back in and committed about $240 million to Justin Upton and Jordan Zimmermann. That’s why Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez and Justin Verlander — the Big Three — brush off questions about last year, because they knew they weren’t right physically.
This isn’t the “Last Run” starting tonight in Miami, not as long as Ilitch is in charge. But it’s a renewed run for the three stalwarts, the guys who have been here the longest and risen the highest.
