Last October, the Cleveland Guardians got (another) front row look at Tarik Skubal when the Tigers ace struck out 14 in a Tigers Wild Card Round.
And while Skubal is far and away the best starter in baseball, the rest of the Tigers’ rotation is a bit underwhelming — for now.
Earlier today, MLB insider Jim Bowden put out a new story where he played free agent “matchmaker” for the top players available. And there was a simple theme in that article: the Tigers seem interested in acquiring pitching.
While that thinking can be a bit daunting for Guardians fans given there are some true impact arms available in free agency, it’s important to remember that not every free agent signing is a hit.
