Detroit Tigers fans could see a new starting right fielder next season. J.D. Martinez is one of the team’s best trade chips and could be moved to better position Detroit for the future.
In a perfect world, Avila and the rest of the Tigers front office would be able to unload Anibal Sanchez, Mike Pelfrey and Mark Lowe to save cash. However, the likelihood of all those moves happening is somewhat unlikely.
What is more likely is Detroit trading more movable veterans like J.D. Martinez, Ian Kinsler and Francisco Rodriguez.
