DETROIT -- Changes are coming to the Tigers.
Taken in itself, that statement Tuesday from general manager Al Avila isn't new. It's the way the Tigers are approaching change that is dramatically different.
In that sense, Avila's end-of-season press gathering Tuesday was more like the beginning of a new era.
"We want to get younger," Avila said. "We want to get leaner. We want to run the organization without having to go over the means of the organization."
It's not going to be a sudden, dramatic tear-down, Avila said, and it's not going to be done in one offseason.
