DETROIT -- Tigers general manager Al Avila took a quick look back at the 2015 season on Thursday, then turned his attention at a media luncheon to the future.
The Tigers need -- and intend to acquire -- two starting pitchers. They must also bolster a bullpen that struggled. Left field needs attention. But as rough as the 2015 season was for the Tigers, who finished in last place with a 74-87 record after winning the American League Central the previous four seasons, a buoyant Avila called it "fixable."
"We had a disappointing season, not the kind we planned out last winter," Avila said during a wrapup session with the media.
