February 4 in Tigers and mlb history:

1915 - The New York Yankees purchase Wally Pipp and Hugh High from the Detroit Tigers for a reported $5,000 each. Baseball historian Lyle Spatz (Yankees Coming, Yankees Going) writes that this was the first of some promised funneling of ball players to the recently-sold Yankees franchise.

1934 - The National Recovery Administration says athletes advertising athletic goods must actually use them or advertisers will lose the NRA Blue Eagle and be fined.

1942 The Tigers release longtime star second baseman Charlie Gehringer.

1956: The Major Leagues vote to establish the Cy Young Memorial Award for the outstanding pitcher of the year. At first, there will be one award for both major leagues.

1956: The American League says it will test the automatic intentional walk during spring training.

1957 - Manager Joe McCarthy and outfielder Sam Crawford are elected to the Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers Association of America. McCarthy, the winningest manager in major league history, won nine pennants and four consecutive World Championships with the New York Yankees. Crawford, one of the greatest hitters of the deadball era, finished his career with 309 triples, first on the all-time list out of 2,961 hits.

1958 - The Hall of Fame fails to enshrine any new members for the first time since 1950.

1960: The BBWAA voters fail to elect a new Hall of Fame member. Edd Roush gets 146 votes, but 202 are necessary for election. Sam Rice (143) and Eppa Rixey (142) are next in line. All three will eventually be elected.

1969 - Attorney Bowie Kuhn is named commissioner, succeeding Spike Eckert. Kuhn receives a one-year contract paying him $100,000. Major league owners turned to Kuhn after failing to agree on either of two other candidates, Mike Burke of the New York Yankees and Chub Feeney of the San Francisco Giants. The early favorite, John McHale, took his name out of the running early, as he had accepted the job of President of the expansion Montreal Expos a short time before Eckert was ousted.

1971 - Commissioner Bowie Kuhn announces former Negro League players will have a separate wing in the Hall of Fame. Due to the controversy the announcement causes, it is decided inclusion in regular Hall of Fame is more fitting and more of an honor for the former black players.

1976 - Federal Judge John W. Oliver upholds a recent decision by arbitrator Peter Seitz, who had granted free agency to pitchers Andy Messersmith and Dave McNally. Both players had challenged baseball's reserve clause.

also,
Miggy has a good chance of getting to 2000 hits (198), 350 homeruns (321), 1250 rbi (1123), 3500 total bases (3177), + 10th straight 300plus season of total bases, + 400 doubles (386), in his age 30 year. Hunter + Jackson should each score 100 runs easy batting 1st and 2nd.

February 5 in Tigers and mlb history:

1934 - Hank Aaron is born in Mobile, Alabama. After a one-year stint with the Indianapolis Clowns of the Negro Leagues and two years in the minors, Aaron will make his major league debut with the Milwaukee Braves on his way to set a then-major league record 755 home runs.

1935 - At 39 years of age, home run king Babe Ruth is released by the New York Yankees. He will sign with the Boston Braves to play one more season, but will not complete it.

1999 - Major League Baseball will honor each league's best hitter with an award named after Hank Aaron. The all-time home run king learns about the honor on his 65th birthday at an event which includes US President Bill Clinton and Hall of Famers Ernie Banks and Reggie Jackson.

Tigers avoid arbitration with Scherzer, agree to 1-year deal.
from the Oakland Press

In sum total, the Tigers’ seven arbitration-eligible players — including potentially three-fifths of the starting rotation — agreed to deals worth $26.425 million, more than matching the $24.35 million the Tigers saved by shedding the combined salaries of Jose Valverde, Delmon Young, Ryan Raburn, Gerald Laird and Brandon Inge, who was waived early in the season.
and.....Excluding second-year starter Drew Smyly, who will be in the running for the fifth starter job in spring training, the Tigers have $44.625 million tied up in their starting rotation, approaching double the 2012 Opening Day total of $27.847.
