THE SATURDAY SURVEY.
Totally Tigers
The Saturday Survey offers the opportunity to weigh in on a relevant topic.
So here is a poll to gauge the pulse of our passionate readers.
Today, we center the discussion on the value the Tigers received from some of there biggest investments.
As always, we welcome your comments, so please vote and then submit your reasons (4 sentences max!) for how you voted in the usual comment box. Don?t forget to come back later and view the results!
Like many teams this season, the Tigers were careful with their payroll and spent slightly less than they did last year. This year, they rank 24th in MLB payrolls, currently sitting around $72 mill.
They added a couple new players on one-year deals and their first multi-year offer in the last 5 years with the signing of Robbie Grossman for 2 seasons.
A number of veteran players were signed to minor league deals with incentives if they make the major league roster. Renato Nunez is one of those and he?s still young and under team control through 2024. He could be the first base solution if all goes well.
Then there?s also the surprise of the season ? Akil Baddoo, the Rule 5 draft pick who has performed exceptionally well so far.
And let?s not forget an entirely new manager and coaching staff (save 2).
Despite how little the Tigers spent, did they make smart signings? Does the value of the people they brought on board equal or exceed the contracts signed?
Sometimes it?s not about how little or how much money was spent. Sometimes it?s about the actual value received in return.
Which of the choices below do you believe will have the greatest value ? and the best move made by the Tigers ? by the end of the 2021 season? Which one will offer the greatest return on investment (ROI)?
