Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila traded just one member of the club’s 2016 veteran core last offseason.
That would be Cameron Maybin, who was dealt to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim for pitching prospect Victor Alcantara.
While Maybin was excellent at the plate for the Tigers last season (120 wRC+, .383 on-base percentage), he also represented the team’s best stolen base threat.
The outfielder paced the team with 15 stolen bases and turned in a 2.5 BsR and a 2.0 UBR.
Outside of Maybin, only Ian Kinsler finished with more than 10 stolen bases.
