Tigers able to avoid arbitration with six players.

Tigers agree to 2013 contracts with six players.
Press Release from the Tigers official site

If they settle around the midway point for Scherzer, you're looking at about a $16-$17 million bump in payroll from arbitration.
Jason Beck
 
The 7 Tigers projected to get $25.4M. If Max settles at midpoint, 7 will get $ 26.425M. 1.1 million above projection. 7 made 9.97M last year.
Tigers also cut $ 3M from payroll releasing Kelly and Raburn. More if you add their projected arbitration increases.
Barring any trades or signings, Tigers opening day payroll stands at $ 149.3 million, plus or minus 750K.

January 19 in Tigers and mlb history:

1934 - Baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis denies Shoeless Joe Jackson's appeal for reinstatement. Jackson was one of eight Chicago White Sox players banned for their part in throwing the 1919 World Series against the Cincinnati Reds.

1937 - In the second annual Hall of Fame election, the Baseball Writers Association of America elects second baseman Nap Lajoie, outfielder Tris Speaker and pitcher Cy Young to the Cooperstown shrine. The trio will be honored at the Hall's first induction ceremony in 1939.

1959 - The Players Association orders their International League members not to sign a pact unless it includes their pension plan.

1972: The Baseball Writers Association of America elects Sandy Koufax (344 votes), Yogi Berra (339), and Early Wynn (301) to the Hall of Fame. One year earlier, the writers had failed to elect anyone to the Hall. Koufax makes it in his first try and, at 36 years of age, is the youngest honoree in history.

1977 - The BBWAA elects Ernie Banks to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility. In a 19-season career, Banks hit 512 home runs, had 11 All-Star selections, and won back-to-back National League MVP Awards,

1978 - Eddie Mathews is elected to the Hall of Fame by the BBWAA. The former third baseman is named on 301 of 379 ballots.

1994 - Major league owners amend the major league agreement, giving complete power to the Commissioner on labor negotiations. Bud Selig will continue to act as interim commissioner.

January 20 in Tigers and mlb history:

1930 - Commissioner Landis bans boxing for all players following the brief boxing career of Chicago White Sox first baseman Art Shires. His challenge to slugger Hack Wilson purportedly prompts the ban. Shires fought several suspected bouts that resulted in his being suspended by the boxing commissions of 32 states but loses a desultory five-rounder to Chicago Bears center George (The Brute) Trafton. Shires did win a punch-out with Sox manager Lena Blackburne and two hotel detectives late last season.

1947 - Former Negro Leagues legend Josh Gibson dies from a brain tumor at the age of 35. Considered by many to be the greatest home run hitter in the history of the Negro Leagues, Gibson will eventually gain election to the Hall of Fame in 1972, when he is selected by the Special Committee on the Negro Leagues.

1966 - The Baseball Writers Association of America elects former Boston Red Sox outfielder Ted Williams to the Hall of Fame. Williams, the last major league batter to hit .400, receives 282 of a possible 302 votes. He won the Triple Crown twice, the American League MVP Award twice, and produced the highest career on-base percentage of all time (.483), even though he lost five years to military service.

2000 - The 30 major league owners vote to give all their Internet rights to the Commissioner's office. This decision allows for the creation of mlb.com, which will become a model of success for other professional sports leagues. Bud Selig is expected to parcel out monies earned from the venture in equal amounts.
