Tigers’ payroll projected under $90 million entering the offseason

The Detroit Tigers’ payroll will be just under $90 million for the 25-man roster entering the 2019-2020 offseason. That figure takes into account two guaranteed contracts for Miguel Cabrera and Jordan Zimmermann, plus estimates for nine arbitration-eligible players due for salary increases, plus 17 players who will earn near the major league minimum salary and one final installment of $6 million paid to the Texas Rangers for the final season of Prince Fielder’s contract.

That projected figure includes some $38 million coming off the Tigers’ payroll due to trades and expiring contracts.
