Detroit Tigers Make Spring Training Moves

This season has already had its fair share of moves. Well, we made some more.

We had a surplus of outfield power hitters, so we traded Nelson Cruz back to the Rangers for Ian Kinsler. This eliminated the need for Placido Polanco. We wanted to get rid of Polanco because he was too expensive, considering how little we used him.

Brennan Boesch, Placido Polanco, and prospect Matt Young were sent to the Dodgers for Andre Ethier. Ethier is an average first guy, but still has power.

We signed Miguel Tejada for insurance. Hopefully, he isn't needed because that would mean that there was an injury on the right side of the infield.

Because Ethier is a lefty, we needed a righty to bat on other days. We re-acquired John Mayberry, Jr. for David Murphy and two AA prospects.

Even though it is Spring Training, the Tigers need to get out of their slump.
