We’re very wary of rumors in general, but particularly this time of the year. On the one hand, it’s nice to be included again rather than ignored. It’s been a half decade since the Tigers had a lot of interesting rumors around them. On the other, there are a lot of desperate attempts to ascribe meaning to word choices, the faintest of gestures, and plenty of people looking to make a little name for themselves by pretending to have a source who told them something juicy. There are also plenty of players who enjoy messing with everyone and dropping hints.
