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

Dombrowski says he doesn't see Benoit coming back. As for rest of pen, expects Rondon to pitch 8th and everything else falling into place.

Dombrowski: Tigers in better position to sign a guy or two long-term. He doesn't name names, but he means Scherzer and Cabrera.
