I guess the one who asked “why don’t we have him yet?” was Kinsler, LOL.
Seriously, I respect Nathan, but I really expect Soria overtaking Nathan as Tigers closer in a few weeks…

I agree, and to think Nathan is owed 10 million dollars this year is mind blowing.
Curt Green
Nathan has began to feel his age. I thought this might happen when they got him.

What else would the Tigers be looking to upgrade? Probably they could find a nice role player, I guess. But they look mostly set.

Possibly another left-handed arm for the bullpen, and a possible left-handed bat.
Creates flexibility with Phil Coke & Drew Smyly (playoffs only)
LH batters (V. Martinez switch hitter, Avila, and Kelly)
Randy Smith
Worst case scenario Soria will be the closer next year. Maybe having him breathing down his neck will make Nathan pitch better.

Oliver Perez sounds like a good fit for the Tigers.

I think we still get either James Marshall or Bastardo from the Phillies
MiggyCabby24
Bastardo would be the icing on the cake. They’re left handed bullpen options leave a lot to be desired. Smyly should go back to the pen IMO. He’s better as a reliever.
EightMileCats
Smyly has been fine as a starter. And we have no one to replace him.
We do need a lhp for the pen. My preference is for Wright or Perez personally, but have no qualms with anyone on this list
