Detroit Tigers Team Notes

It was on this day in 1993 that Tigers legend Charlie Gehringer passed away at the age of 89. Gehringer spent his entire 19-year career in Detroit, finishing with a .320/.404/.480 career line, the 1937 AL MVP Award, a 1935 World Series championship and induction into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Gehringer is still among the Tigers' franchise leaders in virtually every offensive category and is widely regarded as one of the game's five greatest second basemen.

Astros first baseman Carlos Lee has to approve any deal because of his 10-5 rights, and hasn't been receptive to waiving those privileges in the past. The veteran is scheduled to make $18.5MM, but the club has said that they are willing to eat half of it to get a deal done. Cafardo thinks they'd cover even more of it to appeal to a team like the Tigers.
