Detroit — Trying to make sense out of what we just witnessed over the last two days and what it may or may not portend for the Tigers.

For the first time in a long time, the Detroit Tigers are mentioned in hot stove talks. When Danielle wrote her piece on left-hander Robbie Ray, it was a part of our “Contender November” series but in the back of our minds, the MCB staff didn’t think the Tigers were interested. Until now.
As of Sunday, the owners and the MLB Player’s Association still seem bound for a lockout of players and a total halt of transactions and activity at midnight on December 1. That’s a lot of pressure on one’s holiday shopping, and several teams went on a pre-emptive spree over the weekend. The biggest move came
Matthew Boyd’s 7-year tenure with the Detroit Tigers seems to be coming to end. On November 28th, Tigers beat writers announced that the club and Boyd have mutually agreed to let him test out the free-agent market.

Well, well, well, on Sunday afternoon, a somewhat tentative offseason for free agents suddenly cranked the hot stove to 11 as a host of players agreed to contracts. The Texas Rangers came out of nowhere to snatch Marcus Semien on a shocking seven-year deal, then added starting pitcher Jon Gray and outfielder Kole Calhoun. The

The organization plans to non-tender Boyd ahead of Tuesday’s 8 p.m. deadline, meaning he will become a free agent, a source with knowledge of the situation told the Free Press on Sunday night. He was projected to receive $7.3 million in his final year of salary arbitration. Had Boyd not
We’re all expecting all sorts of roster turnover this offseason: That is the point of the Hot Stove, after all. Teams shuffle players in and out very quickly. It makes you want to appreciate the guys who stick around. With that in mind, let’s look at the player who has been with his current organization
Detroit — Barring a last minute change of heart, it appears Matthew Boyd’s time with the Tigers is over. According a sources on both sides of the negotiations, the Tigers do not intend to tender a contract to Boyd before Tuesday, thus making him a free agent.

Chris Ilitch has the chance to reinvent himself as owner of the Detroit Tigers. It’s a position his father, Mike, was once in himself. All he has to do? Whatever it takes to get superstar shortstop Carlos Correa into the Olde English D.
