Things are getting ready to heat up in baseball. The World Series ended just 3 weeks ago, followed by a mandatory “quiet period” in which teams could make no moves outside of their organization. And during the week of awards, MLB requests that teams not interrupt the proceedings.
It all started in earnest on November 5th, 2.5 weeks ago. Teams are currently focusing on getting their rosters in order, determining their needs. Trades and signings will happen soon.
On November 4, contract options were picked up – or not. The Tigers, as expected, did not pick up Casey Mize’s $3.1 mill option and he will return to the regular arbitration process.
For the first time in years, no players had opt out contracts with Detroit.
As well, the 4th was the day for qualifying offers to be made. The Tigers had no players who were eligible.
It is this time of year that is crucial to building the roster. Here are the dates to keep in mind as we follow Scott Harris’ moves.
