Detroit Tigers general manager Al Avila leaves the Winter Meetings with just one relatively significant move made.
The team brought in Daniel Stumpf via the Rule 5 draft.
While Avila also added two minor league players via the Triple-A portion of the draft, much of the rumors regarding the Tigers involved potentially trading away players.
As it happens, the names of Miguel Cabrera, J.D. Martinez, Justin Verlander and Ian Kinsler didn’t dominate the headlines. Instead of Detroit’s veterans with higher salaries, younger players with relatively inexpensive salaries drew trade interest.
