Breaking down the battle for the Tigers final bullpen spots

The Detroit Tigers didn’t make much noise this offseason, but one area that they did fortify pretty aggressively was the bullpen. With a solid core consisting of Jason Foley, Alex Lange, Tyler Holton, and Will Vest already in place, Scott Harris inked right-hander Shelby Miller and lefty Andrew Chafin to free agent deals. That whole group still tracks as the core of the Opening Day bullpen despite a few hiccups this spring. So there aren’t many open spots remaining.

Of course, it’s still possible that one of those six relievers starts the year in Toledo. It’s not set in stone, but for now let’s assume there are only two spots available.
