Tigers to retool for 2016

by Gary Baker

On Monday, Lynn Henning — Tiger beat writer for The Detroit News — hit the nail on the head when he said the “Tigers’ free-agent pursuit will be robust, expensive.”

Yes, the Tiger payroll is already around $150-million bucks, and yes, the Tigers need to spend big money in a number of areas. The Tigers’ wish list will include:

Starting pitching.

A bonafide closer and additional bullpen help.

An everyday left-fielder.

Starter(s) Sought

The Tigers have Justin Verlander, Daniel Norris and Anibal Sanchez for sure.
