The first log has been tossed into the 2019 Tigers hot stove league fire with the signing of free agent journeyman and lefty starter Matt Moore. So that's cause for starting the 2019 Detroit Tigers thread.

Already the speculation is that the Tigers are hoping that this low end free agent [a one year $2-3M contract] will become the next Mike Fiers, which will allow the Tigers to dump him off for more young talent.

One thing is certain. This makes it clear that the Tigers are not going for it this year.

One big 17-4 season, otherwise a mediocre sub-.500 W-L and +5.00 ERA career.
