Tigers not seeking 'Groundhog Day' do-over

DETROIT -- Groundhog Day, an unofficial holiday normally associated with a large rodent and its long-range weather forecast, has taken on a second life as a holiday for do-overs ever since Bill Murray lived the same day over and over in the 1993 movie. Don't expect the Tigers to spend the day looking for a re-do on their offseason dealings, including the outfield moves they made before signing Justin Upton.

Detroit's trade to bring Cameron Maybin back to the organization in November and the signing of free agent Mike Aviles to a one-year, $2 million contract a month later came at a time when the Tigers were looking to tweak their outfield rather than make a major splash.
