Tigers free agent targets: Michael Brantley could make this a respectable offense in 2021

Yes, it’s difficult to imagine Michael Brantley in a Detroit Tigers uniform. The long-time Cleveland left fielder spent much of the past decade leaving his mark on the psyches of Tigers pitchers before embarking on a two year stint with the Houston Astros as a free agent. Now 33 years old and on the market once again, Brantley remains one of better pure hitters in the game. With the Tigers sorely lacking offensive production from their outfielders, Brantley actually makes sense for them, particularly as they don’t seem terribly likely at this point to sign multiple bats that could improve the offense.
