Chicago — Jordy Mercer has already let the Tigers know he’s open to coming back in 2020. He approached manager Ron Gardenhire about it a couple of weeks ago.
“I could never guarantee Jordy that he’s coming back,” Gardenhire said. “And I couldn’t guarantee (Gordon) Beckham. I had conversations with both and it’s like, ‘We really like you, but, it is what it is.’ The bosses are going to go out there, there’s a lot of people they’re going to be looking at and it’s going to be about dollars and making the roster.
