The latest hot stove buzz around the Tigers…
- Manager Jim Leyland doesn’t expect the team to sign big-name free agents this winter. He even brought up the idea of signing minor-league free agents to help the ’09 club. As you know, it’s been rumored the Tigers may need to move Magglio Ordonez to get down to a targeted $100MM payroll.
- Eddie Bajek of Detroit Tigers Thoughts got some nice coverage in the Detroit Free Press for his work cracking the Elias code. Jon Paul Morosi’s article centers on the likelihood of Kyle Farnsworth losing Type B status while Ivan Rodriguez maintains it. Edgar Renteria’s Type A status is also noted. It’s not known whether the Yankees and Tigers will risk offering arbitration to Rodriguez and Renteria.
