The silly season is upon us! The Detroit Tigers are kicking off MLB free agency by looking for a new shortstop, according to MLB Network’s Jon Morosi. With Jose Iglesias presumably looking for a multi-year contract, the Tigers are focused on finding a veteran player on a one-year deal to bridge the gap until some of their infield prospects are ready.
Specifically, Morosi hints that the Tigers are looking at players like Freddy Galvis, Jordy Mercer, and Adeiny Hechavarria. All three turned in middling 2018 seasons, and are mostly glove-first options who will play solid defense and offer little else.
