Tigers and outfielder Justin Upton agree on a six-year contract worth 132 mil.

The tigers owner is 86 years old and worth ~5 Billion dollars. There aren't too many things that this guy couldn't buy on a whim.

Not the greatest

Not the worst


July's trade deadline is going to be key(seems like it always is)

[darrell74]

Point: Unlimited money?

They gave up David Price, Yoenis Cespedes
Now receive, Jordan Zimmerman, Justin Upton

However, they fired the GM Dave Domrowski

I assume they want power bat in front of Miggy, otherwise this signing makes no sense. J-Up obviously well known to strike out a shit ton but he will get more strikes having Miggy behind him and his power numbers should go up somewhat and Ks go down.
Still 132 million is insane. If im detroit i would spend those money at pitching and quality bullpen arms before i go after more boppers for my batting order.

omg baseball still going to go bankrupt down the road at current model

How does someone have unlimited funds? Does he just print money in the back room now? Not trying to be funny... he even hinted he would sell Detroit Tigers, Little Caesars Pizza, and the Red Wings in one blockbuster deal. Why on earth would a business man say this about a year ago?

Ah... he probably figures his kids will run his empire into ground. Might as well sell everything while still living.
