The Detroit Tigers have an issue on their hand that needs to be resolved this winter.
aren't worried about the offseason just yet, as they still have an opportunity to make the playoffs. Parker Meadowson Thursday wouldn't have ended Detroit's season, every game from here on out matters more than ever for this ball club. Five games out and a somewhat favorable schedule over the last month of the regular season, the Tigers have an opportunity to get the job done, depending on how things go around the league.
There are multiple areas of need for the Tigers' offseason, but they have to figure out their long-term shortstop situation. Javier Baez, and with many shortstops on the market, replacing him seems to be the smart thing to do. Even if they have to eat the remainder of his salary, it's a part of the business.
"His defensive versatility and power-speed combination make him an extremely valuable player, and even slowed by injuries this season he has still been a 2.6-WAR player in 121 games. All told, he has produced 15.3 WAR in 540 games over the life of his four-year, $28 million contract, and the 28-year-old is going to get a well-deserved raise on the open market.
