Detroit Tigers manager AJ Hinch ordered a ham and cheese omelet Thursday at the Tiny Boxwoods restaurant in Houston.
The person sitting across from him: Carlos Correa, a free-agent shortstop who is expected to command at least $30 million per year and $300 million total (but probably more like $340 million) on the open market. The Tigers, in dire need of a shortstop, are interested in his services.
"We want winners here," Hinch said Monday, as the Tigers introduced starting pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez, who signed a five-year, $77 million contract.
