Detroit Tiger fans are getting impatient – and let’s face it – and a little nuts as they await word on a potential free agent signing or two.
So far, they’ve added both Gleyber Torres and Alex Cobb each to 1-year contracts. Necessary moves but nothing that will get the fan base excited.
With less than 5 weeks until spring training, the Hot Stove season should be in the process of winding down.
But it appears the Tigers are just winding up. After reports about their pursuit of Alex Bregman, Detroit has now recently been rumored to be in negotiations over Nolan Arenado, Jack Flaherty and Anthony Santander.
It’s been written that Scott Harris is refusing to exceed certain limits (especially contract years) in his negotiations. However, the Tigers still remain serious contenders for at least 1 of these players.
The previous GM had a reputation of being one of the first (if not the very first) to start signing significant free agents shortly after the end of the World Series. In all cases, overpaying and giving contract control to the player.
So how do you feel about Scott Harris’ method of extended negotiations? Does it make you overly impatient as you wait to hear any news?
Or do you think it’s a sound business move that will help the organization avoid overpaying and long-term mistakes while allowing them to get the best deal possible?
