Storylines for the Upcoming Season
Will budget troubles finally hurt the Tigers?
-The Tigers have hoarded talent over the past 3 years, and performance bonuses won't keep up with more expensive contracts from stars in their prime.

Will the Tigers re-sign JJ Hardy at the end of the season?
-He will be 32, and he makes $5.5 M this season.

How much will it cost to re-up Justin Verlander?
-He may be exiting prime, but he's still an ace in high demand.

Are the offers on the table for Matt Cain real?
-A compelling offer is coming out of St. Louis that frees up $15 million for Detroit.

Is Jim Leyland going to start giving his runners the green light?
-The Tigers were dead last in stolen bases last season.
