It was inevitable, really. After a whirlwind offseason in which the Detroit Tigers remodeled their bullpen, bolstered their rotation, and added a shot of bench depth, they were still staring at a sizable hole in left field. It was all anyone (our writers included) wanted to talk about when the Tigers came up, and all anyone would focus on when upgrades like Jordan Zimmermann and Francisco Rodriguez were mentioned.
Now, we are once again left praising various deities that Mike Ilitch owns this team.
The Tigers broke the bank once again on Monday evening, agreeing in principle to a six-year, $132.
