Avila: Tigers will take long view for any additions
Avila on slow free-agent market DETROIT -- The Tigers bolstered their revival from 119 losses to American League champions a decade ago by picking up star players who lingered on the free-agent market. As this year's market stagnates, they're still looking for another deal or two beyond Wednesday's Minor League deals with infielder Alexi Amarista, right-hander Matt West and left-handers James Russell and Caleb Thielbar.
"We still have a possibility of picking up a couple of guys, maybe another starting pitcher, maybe another reliever, maybe another position player," general manager Al Avila said Wednesday during his annual appearance at the Detroit sports media winter meeting.
