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.
