Justin Bour is worth a look from the Tigers
Bluntly stated, the Detroit Tigers were a horrible offensive club in 2018.
Their team numbers in batting average (.241, 21st) and on-base percentage (.300, 27th) ranked in the bottom third of the league. There was even less in the way of power hitting, with low figures in both slugging (.380, 28th), and OPS (.680, 27th), as well as home runs (135, 28th and fifteen behind the 27th ranked Tampa Bay Rays).
Nicholas Castellanos, a full season of Christin Stewart, and a (hopefully) healthy Miguel Cabrera should auger improvement in 2019. But the Tigers would do well to add another power bat to their lineup to give them a further boost.
Enter Justin Bour.
