The Detroit Tigers have been relatively quiet in the offseason, a decision that isn’t much of a surprise based on comments from higher ups.

The Tigers could use another arm or two. After making the playoffs last year, having more pitching is never a bad thing. They added Alex Cobb, but that won’t be enough for Detroit to enter the campaign with confidence.

There are plenty of options on the market for the Tigers, but several have signed in the last few days. According to Russell Dorsey of Yahoo Sports, that was the case Monday morning when Walker Buehler agreed to a one-year deal with the Boston Red Sox.

“Breaking: Right-hander Walker Buehler and the Boston Red Sox have agreed to a one-year, $21.05 million deal that includes incentives, sources tell Yahoo Sports. The two-time World Series champion with the Dodgers will now join the veteran team in Boston’s new-look rotation.

Buehler is an interesting name in the league.

It’s hard to get a sense of what he could be at this stage of his career and how much emphasis should be placed on his playoff performance. He was dominant in the postseason, perhaps a good sign for the Red Sox and his career.

In some ways similar to Jack Flaherty, a one-year deal is perfect for Buehler. Detroit would have given him the same opportunity Flaherty had and helped him secure a long-term deal if he had impressed.

The Tigers will have the opportunity to add players before spring training begins, but they missed out on some options.

One can only wonder what Detroit plans to do in this period of free agency.
