Tigers general manager Al Avila told MLB Network that his son, catcher Alex Avila, is on their list of potential free-agent pickups, Jason Beck of MLB.com tweets.
However, Al Avila added that the Tigers aren?t prioritizing the catcher position at the moment. There is room for improvement at the spot, though, as the backstops on their 40-man roster ? Grayson Greiner, Eric Haase and Jake Rogers ? have all failed to record passable offensive numbers during their careers.
That isn?t the case for the 33-year-old Alex Avila, owner of a .235/.348/.394 line in 3,527 plate appearances. He played with the Tigers from 2009-15 before moving on to a few other teams, most recently Minnesota.
