For seemingly the past year, all anyone has talked about was how the Detroit Tigers needed to find a shortstop. Al Avila has done just that, selecting Javier Báez over other (potentially more popular) options such as Carlos Correa, Trevor Story, and Marcus Semien. The former Cub and Met comes to the American League with intentions of sliding right into the center of the Tigers rebuild.
While this club might still be a year or two away from seriously competing, adding Báez does set the wheels in motion. The starting rotation features one of the best trios of young arms in the game, and has added at least Eduardo Rodriguez, if not more later this offseason.
