Eduardo Rodriguez signed with the Detroit Tigers for a lot of reasons. For starters, the Tigers offered him a five-year, $77 million contract. But he also likes the idea of being a cornerstone piece for a building franchise. He understands the Tigers are trying to make the postseason for the first time since 2014, and he
Detroit — For the record, AJ Hinch had a ham and cheese omelette, he didn’t stay for lunch and he was there just to deliver a baby present.

Each year, when the Baseball Writers’ Association of America reveals its Hall of Fame ballot, it’s always interesting to see which new names appear for the first time — there’s usually a mix of all-time greats, All-Stars and names you’d place under the category of “Let’s remember some guys.” This year is no exception, and
The Detroit Tigers last season under manager AJ Hinch embraced players who could multiple players.
