The Tigers' offseason has been deeply underwhelming, to say the absolute least. Aside from getting Kenley Jansen, who is a nice addition, Kyle Finnegan (no-brainer) and Drew Anderson (questionable) don't really get the people going.
And there's been little reason to believe that the Tigers will keep adding to their pitching staff. Ranger Suarez and Michael King links went nowhere, Detroit evidently wasn't involved in Tatsuya Imai's market at all, and it's been all quiet on the rumors front for weeks.
Tigers fans have been fiending for even a hint of another move to wake us up, even if they end up going the same way as the Suarez and King rumors, and Ken Rosenthal and Will Sammon of The Athletic finally offered a couple of names for us to cling to.
