Tigers block

Post by Guardians »

The Tigers had a below-standard regular season, but we still managed to capture our fifth straight division title and six in seven years. Yet, there is still work to do.

This offseason, we would like to upgrade in a few areas:

Draft pick upgrades

What's on the block:

MLB-level players

Justin Upton: I dunno, man. Anaheim really hasn't been good for anything but Upton's bank account. That said, I assume he'll get some kind of .230/.315/.450 projection with EX or VG power (he was EX/EX last year). He's a couple years removed from a 30-HR season, so hopefully he's healthy.

Nick Wittgren/Aaron Loup/Daniel Zamora/Corey Knebel: These are all solid middle relievers in different roles. The lefty relievers who are in the 110-120 ERA+ range, most likely. Knebel is a potential setup guy. Knebel just got dealt to the Dodgers, which seems like a great landing spot for a guy who had a rough 2020 after major injury. UPDATE: Pretty nice projection for Knebel: 3.47 ERA 67K in 46.2 IP.

Jeffress, Chavis, and Duffy removed. Still have a few guys to move. Looking to improve draft picks in deals as well.

Removed 2B as a need after some nice projections from Flores and Solano. Still looking at catcher, prospects, picks

Between Flores, Solano, Duffy, Andrus, Rondon, and Odor, Detroit has an abundance of MIF depth. Willing to move one for SP depth. Looking for a #6/7 type.

Couple guys removed after some recent deals. At this point, just focused on nabbing an SP or OF for depth and maybe a pick upgrade, if it's out there. I still have one infielder too many and maybe one RP to deal. Can discuss prospects a little easier after bringing in a couple solid guys.

Updated to remove Solano and now Flores since he'll be playing 2B more often. I also updated Knebel's projection (3.47 ERA 67K in 46.2 IP). No real specific needs at this point. Open to ideas.
