Get StartedMaybe the Tigers could sign Maybin to a one year contract for OF/bench depth in minors this coming offseason.
Nah, the Yankees will probably sign him again, in keeping with their policy of maintaining a full backup team of major league players at the ready.
With those two homers, Boyd retook the Major League lead with 38. With likely three starts left this season, he?s almost certain to become the first Tigers pitcher with a 40-homer season since Hall of Famer Jack Morris in 1986. Boyd could also threaten Denny McLain?s franchise record of 42 home runs allowed, set in 1966.
Morris allowed his 40 homers over 267 innings, after which he yielded 39 homers off 266 innings the next season. McLain?s 42 homers were spread out over 264 1/3 innings. Boyd, by contrast, sits at 176 1/3 innings. Even in a historic season for home runs across baseball, it?s a concern for the Tigers as they look toward Boyd potentially anchoring their rotation next year.
