Detroit Tigers topics:
Tigers rumors: Jackson for Gardner trade discussed
Ervin Santana market down to Tigers, Diamondbacks
Detroit signs Duane Below to a minor league deal
Danny Worth clears waivers, assigned to Triple-A Toledo.
Looking back at an off season full of upheaval:

Are the Tigers a better or worse team as now constructed than the one which finished two games short of making the World Series?
Would you have preferred the Tigers had made one more run at a title with the team as constructed in 2013, or had the window closed on this group of players? In other words, did the Tigers need a shake-up?
Do you believe the moves were made due to salary concerns or a genuine need to re-imagine the roster?
Do the moves of this off season make the future of this team look brighter in 2015 and beyond?
Did the Tigers go too far, not far enough or did they do exactly what needed to be done in retooling the roster?
Looking back at the 2013 season:

What was your favorite moment?
What moment made you angriest?
To paraphrase NFL coach Denny Green, were the Tigers who we thought they were?
MLB news:

When it comes to the dolts in the BBWAA and their Baseball Hall of Fame voting procedures, Al goes all Frank Costanza during the Festivus Airing of Grievances - "I got a lot of problems with you people!"

December 22 in Tigers and mlb history:

1899 - The fledging American League owners meet to map a strategy against the established National League. They agree to place a team in Chicago with Charles Comiskey as the owner-manager of the franchise.

1915 - Organized Baseball and the Federal League sign a peace treaty at Cincinnati, ending their two-year war. The FL agrees to go out of existence, but the Major Leagues pay an enormous price: $600,000 for distribution to FL owners; amalgamation of two FL franchises, one each into National League and American League; recognition of FL players' eligibility, and agreement to bid for them in a Fed-controlled auction.
The owners of the Baltimore Terrapins, hoping to get the Cardinals, balk, but conferees, eager for settlement, defer their claims - a decision they will repent at leisure when the Baltimore owners take their grievance all the way to the Supreme Court.

1926 Ty Cobb and Tris Speaker both deny they conspired to fix a baseball game several years ago.

1994 Cincinnati signs free agent Jack Morris. He never throws a pitch for the Reds.

1994 Negotiations between the players’ union and baseball owners break down with no progress. The strike goes on.

2005 Detroit signs free agent reliever Todd Jones, who returns to the team he’d first been a closer for.
