Detroit Tigers Team Notes Over 3 Million Views!!! Thankyou!

Reliever Jose Veras will not be returning to the Tigers in 2014 after the team declined his $3.25 million option.
 
Tigers clearing lots of 40-man space (Veras, Tui, Downs, Infante, Peralta, Benoit, Bonderman, Santiago, Pena).
not a big prospect group to add; moves coming.

Candidates for Tigers to add to 40-man....Fields, Moya, Robbins, Suarez, Valdez, Lobstein, Briceno....some other fringe players.
