A third tour from Alex Avila could relieve the Tigers catching woes

The Detroit Tigers most glaring need this offseason is clearly at the catcher position. They completely blew it in 2019 by taking John Hicks and Grayson Greiner into the season as their only options, and absolutely cannot make that mistake again this offseason. The Tigers sound as though they realize this fact, but there are currently precious few options available that meet most of their requirements. Of that group, presumably a reunion with Alex Avila is the simplest solution.

The Tigers posted the second worst numbers at the catching position in baseball in 2019.
